hi -

Which Cheesecake factory do you go to? I just called the one in Santa

Clara (at Valley Fair) and they had no idea what I was talking about

re: gluten free menu. The person who answered the phone () did

check with the manager and when I called back he gave me this info

for gluten free dining options:

1. any salad minus the dressing and obvious gluten stuff like

croutons (request oil and vinegar)

2. stuffed chicken tortillas (ask for regular grilled chicken and

corn tortillas)

3. godiva cheesecake (manufactured in a factory where there is gluten)

4. pistaciao cheesecake (manufactured in a factory where there is

gluten)

I am anxiously awaiting BJ's brewhouse's gluten free menu. I really

miss going there and am hoping I can enjoy some of their salads

again. I emailed with their guest relations coordinator who said

they're working on it and hope it will be out soon -and she's

forwarding each request to thier executive chefs so they can look at

the current menu and have info on what contains gluten for folks who

come in prior to the menu being published. (i'd prefer to wait for

the menu as I'm assuming that will include properly training the

kitchen and wait staff). So I'm not sure about trying the Cheesecake

factory until they have something more official.

good luck there. Just tell them about the allergy and ask to talk to

the manager. I like Cheesecake and PF Chang's because they are so

aware of the disease and most of their servers are educated on the

issues.

Hi,

I eat Cheesecake factory about every two months and had the Tuna carparccio and shepard's pie with no problems. I think CF is getting better on understanding the issues, but not all servers are informed. I have good and bad servers there.

Like most restuarants, it's a risk. I think PF Chang's is the best for celiacs, I always have a good experience there.

cheers,

The one time I emailed the Cheesecake Factory corporate offices about eating there, they advised me not even to try, as they were certain there would be cross contamination in their kitchens from the baking. So even if they now have a GF menu, I would be worried.Maureen> From: Tom <michellesf5589@...>> Subject: [ ] Cheesecake Factory> > Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2008, 5:13
