Chevy's Restaurant

[Guest guest]

My Family wants to meet at a Chevy's Restaurant so I contacted them

to find out what was safe to eat. I thpught I woul;d share this with

all of you:

Dear Mark,

Thank you for writing with your question. Chevys products feature

ingredients which may contain wheat flour and/or gluten. If your

condition is life threatening then it may be in your best interest to

avoid our restaurant due to the possible, however extremely unlikely,

event that residue from contraindicated products may come in contact

with those considered " safe. "

I am not a dietitian and therefore cannot tell you what you can or

cannot eat. It would be a good idea to review this information with a

certified dietitian and/or your doctor before dining. Unfortunately

we must make changes to our menu frequently; therefore some of this

information may be outdated. Also it would be a good idea to speak to

a manager and inform him or her of your allergy before ordering.

Chevys Fresh Mex® Gluten Information

(Revised 11/03)

Because our menu items and methods of preparation may vary from state

to state, we cannot guarantee this information, however we are fairly

confident that this information is accurate. Always alert your server

and the restaurant manager of your allergy/intolerance.

Several of our grilled items are marinated in a sauce (Agua Negra)

that contains soy sauce as an ingredient, so technically these items

are not gluten-free. This will explain why many of the grilled meats

are not gluten-free. When in doubt, ask your server or the manager

if the item is marinated in Agua Negra. You may request that corn

tortillas not be put into the fryer as this may cause cross-

contamination from the flour products that are fried in the same

oil. Any items that are fried or cooked on the grill are subject to

potential cross-contamination from flour tortillas, etc.
