Stir Crazy Restaurant

We went to a Stir Crazy restaurant yesterday. Open Original Shared Link

After playing at an arcade, Gameworks in Schaumburg, IL. and stopped at the Woodfield Mall.

We were getting hungry as we were there longer than we expected. Looking around as to where we could take my son to eat.

We haven't been out to eat much after his diagnosis in January.

My husband went in to ask about a gluten free menu. They had one

The Asian Market Bar, had 2 gluten free sauces to choose from.

The manager personally went though the line with us. Talked to the cook about how to handle Billy's food. Had the cooks use freshly sanitized pan and ladle, he kept the ladle away form the other items he was cooking. It all went well and Billy had a great meal.

Thanks for posting. There is one in a mall by me as well and I never would have thought to try there.

Did they have a specific gluten free menu or did they just let you know what they could make for him safely?

They said not to order the other things off the menu but eat at the Asian Market Bar.

That is where you pick the rice, veggies and meat and they cook it at the "bar" You watch them cook it. Then they have 2 sauces. The sauces are not left on the "bar" they will ask you which one you want and bring it out for you.

You have to let them know you want it gluten free and they will cook with clean pan/utensils.

Our bill was approx. $15 dollars per person.

Yummmmmmmmm I love stir crazy! Do you remember what the sauce options were? I'm allergic to soy so I'm hoping one of them wasn't a soy based sauce (doubtful but you never know!)

I am not sure. Billy's Dad was helping him order. The one Billy got seemed to have soy to me. Seemed like a soy sauce type. I don't know what the other option was.

I wonder if you took in your own sauce and told them you dietary needs they could use yours? I am not sure about health regulations with that though.

It would be worth a try to check it out.

The kids loved Gameworks. Billy and his teenaged sister liked the second level better. My younger daughter liked down stairs more. It is the 3rd time we have been there. We accidentally came across it about 1.5-2 years ago.

I can't say it is my favorite place though. I have to be a good Mom and let the kids have their fun.

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
