Allergy Food Pictures

[clanmcculloch]

My DD also has a tree nut allergy among others and I was hoping to try Babycakes on our next trip. When I read their website it does say the flour they use is processed on a line with almond flour.

We typically stay away from any products that could have this cross contamination risk.

Has anyone had these same concerns about Babycakes or have encountered any kind of reactions from this?

Thanks!

Did you also read their practice regarding tossing the first 30lb? Obviously only you can decide if this is sufficient for you or still poses a risk.

We do not bake with nuts* or soy; however, all of our gluten free flours are processed on equipment that packages hazelnut, almond flours and soy. They power wash the machinery and discard the initial 30 pounds of flour between runs

The Narcoosee's cheese plate with toast made from Ener-G bread looks awesome!!!!!!

I have a peanut, tree nut, egg, and oat allergy (along with some other things...). I eat at babycakes all the time here in LA. My tree nut allergy is not as severe as my peanut allergy (that allergy is very severe) and I've never been concerned about eating there. I probably eat 5-6 things from there every month and have never had any problems. But obviously, its up to you and your comfort with it. But HTH!!

This isn't my picture, but Emily posted this on her facebook page a few days ago. I.was.so.excited.

This is at the Yacht/Beach.

OMG!!! How exciting! I hope that means that other resorts will follow suit and start having this stuff. It would seem easy enough for them to pull off and then it would in theory be available for desserts at the sit down restaurants of those resorts too! We're going in August and I hope to see these around

Dairy free here! This thread was/is a great idea! Here's a pic of dairy free green apple sorbet at Tony's Town Square from 2010.

OMG, green apple sorbet? Now I want to eat at Tony's. LOL I love green apple and DH just brought home some green apple hard cider for me to try (I haven't confirmed allergens yet so I haven't cracked open a bottle yet but he knows I like green apples). If I didn't already have a Mama Melrose ADR in August I'd book a Tony's ADR (I'll only book one italian style meal in a trip). I guess I'll have to book another trip to WDW (as if that was in question LOL).

It was pretty tasty even though the texture of the apple peel in it was a little weird. The thing about sorbets is that there is no guarantee that the kind you have one trip will be around the next trip. My absolute favorite was a pear sorbet at Chefs de France a couple years ago. It was the most amazing sorbet I've ever had. Of course, the same time the following year they didn't have it. What they had was good...but it wasn't THE PEAR.

That makes a lot of sense. A chef at LeCellier was telling me that they always have some kind of sorbet but that the fruit varies from day to day. I guess that's true of all restaurants that make sorbets. It all depends on what fruit they have ripened nicest that day. Thanks!

That apple sorbet does look good. Do you mind me asking what else you had dairy free at Tony's? I'm trying to plan out my ADRs for our January trip and I'm considering Tony's. Never heard wonderful things about it from the non-FA crowd and hardly ever hear anything about it from the FA crowd, but the menu I looked at looked surprisingly good. Plus, we stay at BLT so it's pretty convenient.

Of course I don't mind! : I also had the N.Y. Strip Steak and the potatoes and maybe broccoli (can't really remember). The steak wasn't very good. It was pretty tough. Although, I've found that to be the case with most steaks that I've had through out WDW. All the flavor seems to disappear when you ask for one w/ no butter. That being said, the potatoes were fine and we had excellent service. We had driven straight through the night, checked into our resort, and spent the day at MK. We were exhausted by the time we got to dinner. The kindness of our waitress really stands out in my mind.

I think my other option aside form the steak was spaghetti w/ marinara, so that may have been a better choice.

Also, I want to state that I've had plenty of good beef based dishes at WDW that were dairy free...just not steaks. The braised beef short ribs at Chefs de France w/ les haricots verte (green beans) is my favorite dish in the whole world...and I mean literal world, not just the Disney version If you get the chance to try it sometime, you have to ask for the green beans, as it normally comes w/ a buttery noodle. Although, they'll probably offer it when they find out that you are dairy free.

Anyways, hope that helps!

Great thread!!
I myself have allergies and love seeing everyone's different pictures.

 

[Random Ninja]

These pictures are making me hungry. I need to remember to put up pictures after my next trip and find the ones I've already taken.

I am severely allergic to gluten and I will be in the world at the end of this month (QS Dining Plan) and in December(Regular Dining Plan)! I promise to come back with lots of pics to share with you guys!!

Fancy GF, peanut/tree nut free dessert for my kids, at Ohana, courtesy of Chef T.J., who is no longer at that location (this was '09). Last I heard he was at 1900 Park Fare. I might have to stalk him.

We also had great service at Tusker House for lunch, where my kids were offered GF cookies, GF brownie, or homemade GF donuts...and were brought all three!!!

You'll laugh but I think that the thing I was most upset about losing when I lost my camera at the end of our most recent trip was my picture with me and DD14 with Chef TJ by our Chef TJ desserts. They were even served with some spun sugar on top which was really cool plus there was caramel corn on the plate. SOOOO yummy!! This was at 1900 Park Fare for dinner in the end of February.

I do not laugh. Chef TJ is a rock star. The funny thing is, I knew right away who he was, because everyone had raved over his allergy free creations at Boma. Sigh. Maybe he'll be at one of our favs next trip (because we won't be going back to Park Fare -- non allergy related issues.)

Uuhhhh. . . Found this thread b/c I AM stalking Chef TJ ! I was using the search function to see where he was these days . So, I thought I'd add on our own Chef TJ food pics. These are from 'Ohana in '09. They are gluten, egg, peanut, and tree nut free :
Appetizer (these are the old Enger-G rolls, so the new ones are no longer egg free ):

Main Dish:

And the dessert. I was shedding tears of joy by this point :

Off to do some more Chef TJ stalking. . . --Katie

I *think* he is. I bumped another thread I had started about him a couple of years ago before our last visit. I'm pretty sure this qualifies me as an official Chef TJ stalker . Maybe someone will reply to the other thread with their latest Chef TJ sighting . --Katie

We need to put a tracking system on him....
