Topic: Allergy Support Group / giving up restraunts?

We have a 3 yr old son who was recently confirmed severly allergic to tomatoes. We have a sushi restaurant that does not have tomatoes anywhere in the joint- lucky us. After 3 months we are now venturing out to new locations. Make nice with the waiter right away! Use the words “Deathly allergic or life threatening allergy” so it is a huge impact. Say “I need your help”. We went out this weekend- informed waitress of the allergy and asked her not to bring ketchup tot he table. We asked for her help. We ordered food that should have been tomoatoe free- when she brought our crab dip appetizer out she said it was good we mentioned the allergy because it normally comes with a big juicy slice of tomatoe on top. YIKES! We are most comfortable ordering him fried food. Not healthy but we are more confident it goes from the fryer to the serveware. Best of luck and remember they are there to serve you- if they roll their eyes- the’ll get over it.
