We must all have seen this at the same time. I thought about the pizza place, too. And, something w/o cheese that I could eat there - garlic knots. No lactose (dairy) for me = sadness.
Makes me wonder. How well does SDC do at meeting dietary needs? I've never paid any attention. Do they do a good job at feeding our vegan, gluten free, lactose free, etc. friends?
I can't comment on vegan, but gluten and lactose free? Meh...not so great. A couple of years ago, all they had listed for gluten free were potato chips, turkey legs, and vegees at Molly's and the Mine Restaurant. They are doing somewhat better. They had lactose free ice cream at Aunt Polly's - I hope they move it somewhere else. The vegees have to be considered carefully - I'm sure some of them are cooked with butter. And gluten free? Yikes! Unless you want meat, your choices are limited.
There's so much they could do for very little. Such as..sell individual serving size containers of soy milk, prepackaged rice krispie treats, gluten free cookies and snacks. They have a decent shelf life, so I don't think they would get wasted. Peanut butter cookies could be made w/o flour easily. I think visitors besides those that are gluten intolerant would purchase them because they are so good! Sell lactose free ice cream at the same stand as apple dumplings! Yes!!!
Employees aren't that aware of dietary needs. I've asked at many different locations if they could tell me about the food being served, and I haven't yet have anyone be able to answer me. I asked simple questions, such as - "Was flour used in the soup to thicken it, is the barbeque sauce made with gluten, butter added to the vegees? This information should be available at every food vendor.
