We don’t get to eat out often. Twice in a week is a record in quite a while. Tonight was MUCH better. The FireHouse Restaurant in Harrisburg PA was very accommodating. I called in advance (ok 4 times) but was unable to talk to anyone because they are so busy. But when I got there, I told the hostess who alerted my server. She helped me with the menu.
When the food came to the table, I thought…uh oh….it was pan seared tuna and rice, but the vegetables looked like they were drenched in soy sauce.
I asked the server if I could have a new plate with the steamed vegetables one of our dinner mates had. It took a while, and I was really hungry and started chewing on the gf bread I brought from home just in case. When she came back, it was a totally new plate, without the rice. She said that she called and asked her husband who was Thai and a chef (but not working in the restaurant that evening), and he told her to give me a new plate, have them cook me new fish, and not serve the rice because he knew that their particular rice blend had gluten in the seasoning! They re-served me a whole new dinner!
I still feel kind of off from yesterday’s sushi mess, and I’m hoping that more of my experiences are like this one today.
