Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 so, i've been avoiding Chevy's since someone posted about getting glutened at Chevy's when eating nothing more than a green salad due to the pollution of flour in the air. anyone have a weigh-in on that? experiences to share? I just spoke with Sheila from the Oakland Chevy¢s office. She gave me a nice list of menu items which are both gluten-free and dairy-free.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I don’t eat Mexican anymore since I’ve omitted corn from my diet and also b/c I’ve always gotten sick at every mex restaurant I’ve ever eaten at which I think is due to CC. I was on a business trip a year ago the last time I ate at chevy’s and felt ill for 2 days afterwards…wont touch it.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 What I recall reading on this list is that at Chevy’s basically everything is at risk of cross contamination, so if you want to play Russian Roulette, go for it. (At least, that was the over-all impression I got from the last discussion I remember seeing) From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Wallace Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 12:24 PM Subject: RE: [ ] Chevy's GF/DF options I don’t eat Mexican anymore since I’ve omitted corn from my diet and also b/c I’ve always gotten sick at every mex restaurant I’ve ever eaten at which I think is due to CC.

I can't eat corn products now, and when I could, I always got glutened there, even when I was eating things that were supposedly gluten-free. The only thing on the menu that might be safe for me is the Romaine lettuce salad with only the romaine lettuce in it, and I'm not going to pay $9 for a head of lettuce. --Ruth Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluten Free in SD maintains a list of GF suggestions and gets fairly regular updates from Chevy's corporate: http://glutenfreeinsd.com/chevys.html I personally don't eat there much, but when I do I avoid going during peak hours and I inform the manager of my situation and get pretty good service out of it. I usually order the chicken or steak tacos off the Fresh Mex Specialties section and haven't had any problems. Definitely avoid the chips or anything from the deep fryer - which is like torture when they are sitting there on the table staring at you... -- Joe http://sanbeiji.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 We bring our own Mission tortilla chips. Not as good, but at least we can eat the (also delicious) salsa. -----Original Message----- From: on behalf of Joe Sent: Fri 8/1/2008 2:41 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Chevy's GF/DF options 2008/8/1 Lombardi <tanya_lombardi@...>: > so, i've been avoiding Chevy's since someone posted about getting glutened > at Chevy's when eating nothing more than a green salad due to the pollution > of flour in the air. > > anyone have a weigh-in on that? experiences to share?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I made a post about Chevy " s about a year ago, They sent me a list similar to what was given to Trudy with the exception that they said each restaurant gets their supplies from different suppliers so there could be variations. At that time they also said the corn custard thing that they serve on the side was safe. I see it is not on Trudy's list so maybe they have changed it. With the soft tacos you need to request that they do not put them in the same tortilla press as the flour tortillas. As others have stated since they make fresh flour tortillas right there in the serving room their is flour floating around the room. I have been to a Chevy's were the tortilla making was done in a glass enclosed room. That would make it safer. But you take a risk anytime you eat their.
