Good Thing We Called!

[conniebky]

So my daughter called Red Lobster and asked if they "have gluten free food". Dude goes, "uh, no", and she goes, "well, broiled fish has flour on it?" and he goes, "uh, I think they 'paint' something on it before they send it to us so, we can't guarantee that it's gluten free unless you buy a live lobster from the tank".

Well, when I was six, I was in Chicago with my daddy and he took me to some fancy famous Chicago restaurant and told me to pick me out a lobster from this tank, so I did.

AND THEY BROUGHT IT TO ME ON A PLATE KILLED AND DEAD! and OMG the scene I caused in that restaurant! My poor daddy and those people that worked there, oh, God love 'em.... I thought it was going to be a PET! Serious story, folks!

So we're going to Changs, I trust them. But I can't remember, is it a round or square plate so you know they remembered to do it gluten free?

Also, can I order a margerita? Or just a huge jug of tequila? What's the story on that? Turns out, there's 22 people coming to my birthday party, so I'm gonna need a drink! And I don't even know WHO the 22 people are! Anyway, I hope they're people I like LOL

so, what's the story on the drink and the plate?

Now I have a fat swollen half a face and a red, swollen eye - I look like a prize fighter or one of them mean Kentucky girls that wants to fight everyone she sees, but that aint me, cuz now I also burned my eye today when I turned on the air in my car and the fan thing blew a hot, red ash straight onto my eyeball, but I won't go into that cuz kareng worries about me and my frivolities!

You want the round plate with the PF Chang's logo around the edge. Can't help on the drink--I always order wine.

Have a great time--I love the Philip's Better Lemon Chicken, I almost always end up ordering it.

Get the chocolate dome for dessert--tell them it's your birthday and maybe they'll put a candle in it.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Connie!

Take some benedryl for that swollen face (after all your birthday alcohol has worn off of course )

Oh, yeah, Patti! I was going to ask about that dessert, too, cuz I saw that on their online menu! Man, I will be SO nervous eating that! You've had it? It's ok?

OMG! I love your lobster story. That's hilarious!

I love P.F. Chang's! They tell you when you order what plate they'll bring your gluten-free food on. Make sure they bring you the gluten-free soy sauce too. You absolutely have to have the lettuce wrap appetizer. They're sooooo good!

Tequilla is gluten-free for sure. Margarita mix should be too, though they can probably tell you. I can't drink margaritas any more. I had too many with cheap tequilla down in Mexico and I get queasy just thinking about them now. I tend to drink sake at Chang's but not everyone likes it.

Have a great birthday party. Sounds fun.

Seriously good!!! . . . I'm not the Celiac, my daughter is . . . Is it bad when you steal half your daughter's dessert? I couldn't let her have too many sweets, you know?

I've had it many times! It's so good--the raspberry sauce they put over the top is a thing of beauty!

The gluten-free menu is on the back page of the regular menu--just be sure to tell the waiter you will be ordering off the gluten-free menu. I've never had a problem there.

On Monday at work, I ordered chicken and shrimp fried rice. It tasted a bit like Heaven, yes it did. Man, I wish I could cook like that at home. Their food is seriously good.

I also am going to write an appreciation letter to Red Lobster because they were HONEST about it. My daughter asked first if they could accommodate a party that big, and they sure could have lied about it. So even though they couldn't say it's gluten-free, they told the truth, and that means more to me than if they were gluten-free. Did that make sense?

Makes perfect sense--all I ask of any company is to be honest with the facts so I can make up my own mind.

Happy Birthday, Connie!

PF Changs sounds like a great choice.

And now the eye thing..... I don't ever want to be on the same airplane as you, on the same road, or drinking out of the same wine box!
