Please Don't Kill Me!! ( Eating Out Eggless)


One of the biggest issues with an allergy is learning to eat again, especially eating out. I recently read an article Americans' 15 Favorite Restaurant Chains: Cheesecake Factory Tops List So I decide to look into these top 15 to see which ones where allergen friendly and which were not.
 Out of the 15 restaurants 6 of the restaurants have online allergen menus. However 4 out of the 15 are willing to work with the patrons on such allergies. This leaves us with 5 restaurants that would have to be worked out case by case. I know that working out with the restaurant makes people with allergies very nervous.


Online Allergen Menu’s
1)      Olive Garden
2)      Ruby Tuesday’s
3)      Red Lobster
4)      Golden Corral
5)      Applebees
6)      Chili’s

Willing to work with Allergies
1)      Red Robin Gourmet Restaurant
2)      P.F. Changs China Bistro
3)      Texas Roadhouse
4)      Long Horn Steakhouse


No Allergen Mentions Online
1)      The Cheesecake Factory
2)      Outback Steakhouse
3)      Cracker Barrel
4)      TGI Fridays 
5)      IHop

One of the best pieces of the advice I have recently heard in regards to an egg allergy is eat whole foods. Like a whole steak, chicken, baked potato things they probably did not alter or add to. My question to you all is where is your favorite place to dine out that is allergy friendly?

  1. Hello,

    This is a very interesting post. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to have to avoid eating anything with eggs, since so many recipes seem to include them. My cousin has trouble dining out, too, because he is deathly allergic to a number of common foods.

    Thanks for the information. It is good to know that some places will work around allergies.
