Beware Of Bakers Joy

I have mentioned before that my husband and I own restaurants. My husband is also the local restaurant association president so we see alot of kitchens. Alot of steak houses will spray the steaks so they won't stick to the grill with a restaurant supply source that is like Pam but some also use the bakers joy (contains wheat). Not trying to scare anyone, the restaurants that are known for gluten free menu's such as carraba's and outback do NOT use this practice. Just want to give a heads up on something you should ask about if going to a steak house that is not gluten savvy.

Yes, I agree that there isn't a good reason to do this. Bakers Joy is usually used for the Pantry Chef for Dessert items so again if ordering a dessert make sure they don't use bakers joy. Don't know of anymore tricks but can suggest a couple of things. Chefs are always proud of their kitchens and their food, always ask for them if you can or call ahead to talk to them. They don't mind (unless your calling them during the peak of business) talking about the preparation of your food infact, they usually enjoy it (the good ones). I would never just ask to see the manager because the front of the house usually doesn't get involved with the food preparation and may misunderstand. Also, always try to dine when its not as busy such as before the rush or after the rush then chances of accidental cc are fewer or hopeful nil. Your more expensive restaurants with a culinary chef are always your best bet since almost everything is made from scratch and they know exactly what goes into every item. My fine dining chef just ordered me some chestnut flour that he's excited about, I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet...I'm not anything close to a chef :lol:

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased int...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the USA only wheat-based breads are fortified with certain vitamins, but not gluten-free breads, thus we typically encourage celiacs to take multivitamin supplements.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Not much use to Canadians but if any British Lindt lovers are looking at this, give Marks & Spencer's Swiss Truffles a try - no barley but same taste. I'm pretty sure that in a blind tasting a coeliac would not know the difference - but then again, if you want to put this to the test, get a non-Coeliac to try this! I don't want anyone here to get glutened...

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
