Did he/she say why to eliminate these? Just curious.
I am not sure that the GF-by-choice folks have helped or hindered the cause of serious food allergies, but there seems to be a lot more of the "alert your server" notations, which is a Good Thing.
As a person with a weirder food allergy that would cheerfully spend $$$ for an allergy-free meal, I would urge restaurant owners to teach waitstaff to ask a chef or supervisor if the offending/lethal ingredient is there, rather than just say"oh no, we don't use that" when they don't even know what the ingredient is.
I don't know if it's a human nature thing or a sign of the times, but most people have a really hard time saying "I don't know, but I'll find out." And the consequences for that ego inflating can be serious for the allergic person.
