I had one for lunch today too - it was amazing. My coworker who picked it up was concerned for the sticker they put on my sandwich talking about the risk of CC, but I talked to the manager and I'm pretty well satisfied that they're educated about the risk and how to minimize it.

I have to agree on Jason's Deli. We have one here in Montgomery, AL and I eat there at least once a week now so I can get my gluten-free sandwich. They take great care wtih it also! According to the girl working the register, they have had a good response to the gluten-free sandwiches, so I hope that means they will be keeping them!

Ate one today. Loved the bread but was not happy they put chips on beside it. I watched they did change gloves and make mine separate from DH. Will go back soon. Saw where their veggie soup was gluten-free.

I recently contacted them about gluten-free and latex allergy. The workers on the line here DO wear powdered latex gloves. The powder in the gloves is a big CC problem for those who are sensitive but they will go pretty far to make a safe sandwich. Manager said they would prepare it in the back completely away from the line, use non-latex gloves or no gloves at all. The veggies etc. are prepped in the a.m. with non-latex gloves so he said just speak up and they would pull from the fresh stuff in the walk-in instead of from the line to make sure no latex contamination. I was going to ask about the latex but somehow he brought it up first and I was quite suprized at their level of awareness. Good for Jason's Deli!

I had a good experience at Jason's too. I ordered a salad and added chicken to it. I was a little concerned when they took the chicken from the salad bar prep line and cut it up on the bar there. I didn't have any problems with it and it tasted very good but I still have my concerns about using the chicken and next time I will ask if it should be done in a different way.

Ooh good to know. Before going gluten free, I loved Jason's deli sandwiches, and my work uses them to cater for meetings all the time. I'll have to look up the gluten free menu when I next visit. I've been really nervous about eating out, (especially since my favorite place before going gluten free was arby's... AAAAAAAAAAAH the gluten!) so its good to know there is somewhere that is really good about taking care of the celiacs and gluten intolerants.

PS... missy'smom... that is totally great about the latex! That is excellent customer service if I ever saw it! *grin*

another thought, you wouldn't happen to have found a link to their gluten free menu online have you? I can only find the regular menu which makes a note that says there is a gluten free menu..

Sorry to say today I had a bad experience at Jason's in Huntsville, Alabama. I had gone there before and ordered a gluten free chicken salad and the first time I went it bothered me that they cut up the chicken on the bar where they had all the other ingredients so this time I watched them. They were making lots of sandwich's and cutting them right on the bar and then cut up my chicken on the same prep bar. When they handed me the salad I asked them to make it over and not use the prep bar to cut the chicken. The "manager" who was up front handed the new salad to me and said - We can't promise we are gluten free.

If they are cutting up bread, and you could actually see the bread crumbs, then they can't even call it a gluten free menu. I was so upset.

I ate at Jason's a few days ago. The manager said the gluten-free menu was online. I have not been able to find it yet. But he did let me use his list which details all of the allergy information for their products. I just got a salad and while getting some cheese I saw where someone had dropped two pieces of tuna pasta in the cheese. I know they can't avoid that. The manager was right there when it happened. He got me a new plate and more cheese from the back. I was disappointed he did not change all of the cheese out on the bar. However, I do realize that as celiacs we take a chance anytime we eat out and that no one can guarantee that everything we consume in their restaurant that is designated gluten-free has not been cross contaminated. I just applaud Jason's for all of their effort and the training their staff receives. I only had a salad with olive oil and lemon as my dressing - no problems with it.

Open Original Shared Link ---- here is the gluten free menu. I read that they are making an iPhone friendly version, too. I love Jason's Deli.

Jasons is one of my favorite places to eat in Dallas. I go about once a week. The pastrami with spicy mustard is wonderful. BTW... the chips on the side are gluten free too. Sometimes I pick up a bread too. The Udi bread there is larger and has a different texture than the bread I buy at Whole Foods. It is great. You can buy the meat too... I think it is 7.99/lb.
