Uno Chicago Grill: Never Again

We ordered two chicken dishes from the UNO gluten free menu, and both were delivered with large bread sticks on the plates.

The manager we spoke to, before ordering, assured us that there would be no problem with ordering gluten free. When they brought the orders with bread sticks on the plates, we put on our coats. The person that brought our food, not the waitress who took our order, didn't seem to know what we were talkiing about when we said that we had ordered from the gluten free menu and, due to cross contamination, we couild not just remove the bread and then eat from that plate.

The manager came over to find out what was wrong, and was horrified to hear what happened, but we turned down his offer to give us free gift certificates for the UNO resaurant chain, and told him that we would never be back.

For $12.99 a meal we didn't expect great food - but the risk of getting sick really turned us off to this chain.

I also had a horrible experience at a Uno Chicago Grill location. There were so many screw ups during this 1 meal; with the finale being the breadstick on my plate, I wouldn't even know where to begin. It was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had and I will never go back.

Wow--I had a great experience with Uno.--no bread sticks, and they even made a dish not on the menu at my request.

I asked if they could take some plain, unbreaded eggplant, and use it as a kind of pizza crust with their pizza sauce, and cheese.

The manager talked with the chef, and came back with the offer to use those ingredients as a kind of casserole. He brought it to me himself, so I didn't have to deal with an ignorant waiter. There were no breadsticks anywhere in sight.

If you google "Uno pizza copycat recipe" a very good version of their sauce pops up. You can make their pizza at home!

It seems to go this way with chains. At one place people are completely ignorant and then you go to a different city or even across town in some cases and get a completely different and Pleasant experience.

      Gluten Transfer from Biodegradable Tableware: What a New Study Found and Why It Matters (+Video)

      Oh my......will the danger never end? It has seemed like no matter what we do or have done the odds were/are against us. Next they'll tell us that just looking at wheat will be dangerous. Oh well....hang in there.

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Our understanding of that is very incomplete at this time. There are theories and it seems to involve multiple factors. We know there is a genetic component but that is far from the total answer since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only 1% actually does. Other suspects are the indiscriminate use of antibiotics...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
