Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'm having dinner at the Cheesecake Factory in SF on Friday. Has anyone had good luck there? I seem to remember someone saying they had a GF menu...?

He said a trace amount of just about anything could have caused it. However, raw fish is, he said, particularly risky in terms of severe allergic reaction. I went to Kyoto a year afterward, a guest at an inn noted for sushi, sashimi. I declined, as tactfully as possible. I think my host thought I disliked the food.

This can cause anaphylactic shock in people who may or maynot have an over active immune systems. This is a separate thingfrom even how the fish is prepared or kept. Fresh is always better,but if this has been an issue one may well want to know how long agothe fish was swimming.Connie>> I don't know; this is interesting.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 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.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I agree with Maureen. I've eaten there a few times and have gotten sick. Even their corn tortilla's have flour on them! They should do some sort of gluten free menu because they are such a big chain that is popular...it's a bummer! ----- Original Message ----From: Marciana R <marcianar@...> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 5:32:27 PMSubject: Re: [ ] Cheesecake Factory 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.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I am super sensitive and I had success there with the chicken " medallion " entree but this was a little while ago... you should be savvy about what questions to ask, etc. when eating there. Maybe check it out beforehand if possible when they aren't too busy. Good luck. NarenOn Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 9:48 PM, Christi OConnell <choconne_2001@...> wrote: I agree with Maureen.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'm afraid I have to chime in with a thumbs down on Cheesecake Factory, unfortunately. Although things may have changed by now, the one time I took my family there the only thing my daughters could and would eat was ice cream, since they don't care for salads. ________________________________________ From: [ ] On Behalf Of Naren Wadhwani [narenw@...] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 10:23 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Cheesecake Factory I am super sensitive and I had success there with the chicken " medallion " entree but this was a little while ago... you should be savvy about what questions to ask, etc. when eating there.
