I do feel kind of sorry for restaurants these days. I'm sure it seems like everyone has a problem of some kind. You can't just open a grill, whack a bit of bread on each table and watch the money roll in.
Every Karen and their clan is going to rock up day in, day out claiming to be allergic to everything from dairy to pine nuts to wheat and back - and then there's the vegans, the pesky pescatarians and the Just Generally Awkward. The customer is always right - but has the customer ever been so fussy?
Well it's definitely a good thing that the restaurant trade and the catering industry has become much more attuned to the needs of every customer, not just you lucky sods without any dietary issues, and I can honestly say that on the whole, the range and quality of gluten free food available to me has never been better since I was first medically diagnosed with Coeliac disease after a string of hospital visits and invasive camera tests in 2018.
