We had the same type of experience at the Tokyo

Japanese Steakhouse in Independence, Missouri. The

owner told us that he would let us bring in food for

our son that one time, but never again. Needless to

say, we haven't gone back, nor have any of my

relatives. You know, it might not be a bad idea to

let everyone know where we have trouble bring our GFCF

food. Then people can call those restaurants in

advance to make sure they will be safe in case they

should decide to go there. Or, and I like this idea,

we can flood them with calls and berate them for it.

Hi, everyone,

I think we can catch more flies with honey (GFCF, of course) than

with vinegar (of whatever variety).

Many of you are younger than me (43)--I remember when I was a

college student and restaurants first started letting parents bring food

in from other restaurants if their kids wouldn't eat Chinese, etc. To

me, that will always be a privilege extended by a restaurant that agrees

to do it, not a right that I should demand.

So-o-o, I would say post a list of restaurants that *do* let you

bring in outside food, and express gratitude to them that they do that,

rather than berating the other ones. Just my .02 worth, M.
