Just thought I would mention that Lion's Choice now has allergen info. on their

nutrition menu!  This is one of the restaurants I have been "bothering" for the

past few years and after many emails back and forth they finally hired a company

to analyze their food and label their nutrition guide with the major allergens. 

It was an interesting experience - I was even a help with the design of the new

nutrition chart!  Their graphic artist wanted to use dots of different colors to

denote the allergens but they had a few that were various shades of brown!!!  I

pointed out to them that it very difficult to read and doesn't help someone at

all who has a black and white printer and wants to print out the menu.  Then

they were going to use #s.  I suggested the letters (i.e. M = Milk, P = Peanuts)

and they apparently took my advice! One more restaurant we can go to as a

family!  Yay!

That's awesome Melissa!  And we literally just went there over the weekend and

used the chart, and my son did fine!  Thanks for helping us all out! One person

can make a difference!!
