That sounds amazing Rube! I'm glad you got to fulfill a lifelong dream. I wish I had read your post about where you working before I was at the park. I would have stopped by to meet you (not that you would have had much time to talk).

I always used to say that whenever I retire I was going to work at SDC. Maybe that'll still be the case...you never know!

Rube, I've already commented on this thread, but you said something that made me take note and feel it necessary to respond.  I know your father-in-law (I think?) has celiac?  You wrote that between seasonings your job was to sanitize the equipment!  Yahoo!  That will guarantee (well, usually) a gluten free product to those with celiac that can usually only eat the plain product as the seasonings contain gluten.  I know this won't matter to most reading this post, but to a celiac that has a hard time finding anything to eat in this type of environment, that is great news! I usually eat a twisted tater with confidence, but any time there are seasonings in a booth, I'm very leary and shy away from it.

Yes Gilligan, the bins and utensils are sprayed and wiped down after each new flavor is completed. Having worked in food as a manager, and having a nut intolerance/ migraine trigger, I know what a small amount can do to someone. I know it will never completely get rid of all cross contamination (like on a list that says "produced in a facility that..."), But it is a step in the direction to allow the Gluten Intolerant enjoy the plain Pork Rinds. I am one that if what I want to eat is near something I cannot have... I avoid it, but in this case all attempts are made to not cross contaminate. I do not speak on behalf of the park or any other entity, so please do not hold me, or SDC to the issue, but I am glad what I shared is a possibility for you!

Junior, too!
