In-N-OUTLY Safe for gluten-free food

The most difficult part of traveling with celiacped disease is an attempt to find out where to eat on the move. Believe me, I have to know. For a long time I never stepped into the restaurant if they weren’t Highlighted gluten -free institution.

Unfortunately, many favorite places for moms and pop closed because of the Covid-19 pandemic and did not recover. The possession of the restaurant is expensive, especially the one sold against clients without gluten. Although the presence of a special place for food is a find for those who suffer from allergies to wheat or other autoimmune conditions, it alienates the share of the public, which falsely believes that food without gluten simply does not compare to good natural wheat.

That is why I was a stuttering nerve package when I appeared to my first in the sphere, near San Diego.

As mentioned earlier, I did not enter the restaurant, which was not dedicated to the gluten since 2018, where I had a problem of cross -pollution that I was actually taken to the hospital. Not wanting to repeat this experience, I greatly avoided social trips and purchases only in places where I can control the preparing food.

That is why I told my employees just throw me into a local grocery store so I can pick up dinner for a trip from pork, cold cuts and cheese to make my own mini-tale. However, one of the brothers of my staff, who also grew up with celiac disease, obviously moved to the In-an-public and never got sick.

I finally retreated to peer pressure. I finally agreed to go with them provided I was talking to an employee behind the counter and looked at what measures were to prevent cross -pollution. If my fears were secured, I would order … what -you. If not, I would just return to the local grocery store and spent the night, wrapping pork peels in heavy cheese.

I allowed my staff to order first so that I get a separate ticket for my allergies. When my turn came to the order, I nervously stuttering: “Hi, I had never eaten in in-N-Out before, because I have celiac disease and I am very ill when there is some gluten-cross pollution. What measures you have to make sure that people with gluten allergy are not sick here?”

The rare blow of the restaurant was not crowded (I was the only queue), and the employee was actually very well prepared. He continued to explain how they necessarily prepare onions on a separate grill from burgers, and that all employees change their gloves before processing the gluten -free order. French was naturally stainless, because they were the only thing that went to the freak, so the only thing I had to worry was buns.

Guided by the advice of my employees, I was told to get a double double, a burger in animal style. A double double means that there were two meatballs with cheese, while the “animal style” refers to mustard patties, top grilled, salty cucumbers and the spread of the restaurant. Protein style means wrapped in salad. I said nervously that I wanted a bilateral protein style, no onion, no sauce, and nothing like. Immediately after I ordered, the employee actually departed from the registry to call what comes with gluten -free order. It struck me. I was also pleased to see that the receipt was also allergic.

What to say, I got my hamburger, and it was delicious – so much that I decided to get another: in animal style. I waited for ten minutes between burgers and had no signs of reaction, so I thought I was fine. And I was right. I waited all night, as I had a heart attack, but I was fine. I ate in in-N-OUT and I didn’t get sick. It was a miracle. I ate for the first time since I was diagnosed with celiac disease more than fifteen years ago. It seemed a miracle, but I felt more normal than when -eur in my life.

Fortunately, there are many things you can order in-N-OUT that does not have gluten, because the only thing that has gluten is the buns. Following my experience, a fast-meal Franchise spokesman told me that many items in a non-secret menu have gluten and can be configured as such.

For example, not only hamburgers come in animal style. You can also get a french -shaded animal on the grilled onion, a slice of molten cheese, and their signature has spread. I usually do not like to eat everything that has “secret ingredients”-specially with my allergy spokesman assured me that it was completely gluten off.

In addition, there is also a flying Dutchman, which is a double double with two cutlets of beef and two slices of cheese. You can order this onion where they essentially give you two bow to serve the buns. It can also be ordered in animal style, which means that you get salty cucumbers, distribution, and mustard patties.

There is also an option called “monkey style”, which is fried in animal style, added to the hamburger, as well as “Pup Pastty”, which is a common, unsalted beef pitcat, which can be ordered to give your dog. I did not try it myself, but perhaps you can just order “meat meat, without salt”, which can be a safe rate for those who want to try in-n-out with a very low risk of allergies.

In total, my trip to San Diego brought me to two different places in NN-OUT four times. I was only lucky on my first trip; The rest of the time I left, it was very crowded, and I had to wait for a while before my order came. I didn’t get sick at any time when I went, which was very relieved. I had to wait a long time when my protein -style hamburger is, but I better wait twice as long as you risk getting sick (even if it meant that all my employees finished eating before I even got food).

Unfortunately there are bad news. When the explosion talked to a representative for In-N-Out, they emphasized that there is no way to guarantee that eating in In-N-Out would lead to completely gluten-free experience for the client, as the menu contains gluten-containing items.

While she confirmed that for the staff there was a normal practice to change her gloves before allergies, she was a little maple when I asked if the buns and onions were cooked, or the same brush was used to apply the animal -style sauce and salads. On the Internet, I have seen some chatter that in some places a bottle for syringe is used and others say they need to avoid sauce at the risk of pollution.

So, in the end, it seems that In-N-Out may not be as safe as it first appeared, but I didn’t get sick and for me it is a great victory. But will it be a victory for you? The only thing you need to do is go to your local In-N-Out and try (if you are lucky to have near you).

The most important advice I can give is to stand behind the counter. If they drop you and your trouble or go don’t answer your questions, just go to the door and try another place. If something doesn’t seem right, don’t eat it. Your health is not worth the price of a burger.

But, if you are like me, celiac and nervous about the ability to eat with colleagues, it should be shot, especially if it makes you feel a little more like everyone.
