Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Amy, can you tell me which soups you have had at Sweet Tomatoes that are g-f? I'm really excited. It's nice to have soup along with the salad. Thanks.

They have a book that lists all the ingredients of their soups and salads and they happily let me look at it any time I ask. At Fresh Choice, I asked to look at the book and was told they aren't allowed to let customers look at it. The manager told me she could go over the ingredients with me. I told her that I can't have wheat and she confidently proclaimed that none of their soups have wheat! When I assured her that yes, most of their soups do contain wheat, she wouldn't believe me! I won't go to Fresh Choice again. Amy in Sunnyvale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi Sue, Most of the time I don't find any soups that I can have. There has been a vegetable soup that has been OK. At least it's nice to be able to see the ingredients and get lucky once in a while! Amy > Amy, can you tell me which soups you have had at Sweet Tomatoes that are > g-f? I'm really excited.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Talk to the manager. I have been to several Outback Steakhouses with pretty good success. The best was near Portland Oregon--I think it has a lot to do with exposure. Once the staff is exposed to it--they are more responsive. They have a very thorough GF menu--which tells you exactly what you can/cannot have and how to make special requests to ensure your order is GF. Obviously, these chains could use some training in the kitchen and service areas, but the more we make our needs known, the more options we will have.Amy Bhatnagar <amy.bhatnagar@...> wrote: I have been reading the posts about PF Changs with interest, as I go there a fair amount.
