Me too! I think it's great to be able to have a decent restaurant experience - at last! It took me a few years before I was able to (before I found Heather). As a matter of fact I had 2 awesome experiences in the past few months. Both were local restaurants, and I thought about posting about them in case others in this area would be interested. It would be nice to keep a list, kind of like the doctor recommendations, but I'm not sure how out of control it could get. My 2 recent experiences were one, at a restaurant I got grilled fish and asked them to leave the sauce that contained butter off. They forgot by accident, went totally out of their way to correct it, and gave me my dinner for free. I wasn't even upset about the screw up - hey, we're all only human. It could have been worse (which I'll get to in a sec). At the second one, I got grilled scallops that were supposed to be in a sauce prepared with butter, but the chef prepared it for me with olive oil and left it on the side so I could use it for dipping and OMG was it scrumptious!!! How nice to finally eat something so good that was IBS safe that I didn't have to prepare myself. But as I said before when it could be worse - I went to a place this summer that refused to leave cheese off of anything at first. They said they prepared their meals ahead of time and could do that. Ewww!! My friend gave them a piece of her mind! LOL And then the manager helped bring out the food for the others, and asked why I wasn't eating. I told her there was nothing there I could eat, and when she found out, she went back and was going to have the chef prepare something with out cheese. I basically told her what she could do with her sandwich and didn't order anything.  So, yes, there can be horrible places too, but it's nice to know about the good ones.
OK - that was a long babble there!!! Sorry.  hehe
