 I think these will really help. April 26, 2010
Kara Smith
I just received my cards, and used one for the first time yesterday. Wow, it really made a difference... the staff seemed much more in tune with what I had tried to explain to them in past visits. Much different experience than previously. (they didn't put toast on top of my omelet this time!)
Given all the work that went into making these multilingual cards, I finally managed to talk myself into splurging on them, and I'm very glad I did. I think they'll really make a difference - I was starting to dread going out to eat. (I hate to be such an imposition on the wait staff and chefs.) These seem like they'll make it much easier for the staff to help me eat safely.
Well worth the money.

the concept is good, but these are very expensive. The cards would be better is they came for different types of food but written in English. I have found explaining my condition to the chef on duty when ever we dine out works just as good if not better
A Must for Celiacs Who Want to Eat Out! November 17, 2009

I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, and it has been a life changer! I used to enjoy going out to new restaurants, experimenting with different cuisines; but that came to a sudden halt. Now with these cards I can share with the wait staff and the chef my own food needs to see if they can accomodate me. I have had wonderful feed back from chefs, one in particular coming to my table and thanking me for sharing the card with him. He felt I made his job much easier!
These cards are a Godsend! November 12, 2008

These cards are a godsend! I am so tired of trying to communicate to a rushed, unlistening waiter what my dietary restrictions are. I am never comfortable that these instructions were understood or communicated to the chef. I've been "glutened" many times when I was assured a dish was gluten free. I just hand the handy, laminated card to the waiter, and know that the odds the chef will get the critical information he needs to prepare my food is higher by several orders of magnitude. These cards exist for 9 types of cuisine (Mexican, Thai, Japanese, Indian, Chinese, American, Vietnamese, Greek, and Italian) and each card is written in English and the native language. I can finally go back to all my favorite ethnic places. Moreover, the chef gets lots of information I wouldn't have known or been able to communicate - for example that fish sauce (a common Thai ingredient) often contains gluten. There are specific ingredients called out for all the cuisines covered.
My husband is so excited that his favorite Mexican restaurant is finally back in our rotation! This is unique product and a godsend for anyone trying to avoid gluten.
These are great!!!! December 22, 2006

I have used these at several different places and they are easy to read and understand! They are also plastic or laminated-like, and are great to send back to the kitchen for the chef. I am very happy with these dining cards!
