A Seriously picky eater

[knik]

DH is crazy picky... He's a burger guy, maybe a bit of pasta and sometimes chicken, as long as it's "clean". If I made a special request when I made the ADR for a special meal for him could it happen? I'm thinking of asking for something like an adult size of a child's meal that's offered.

depends on the restaurant. most signatures will not allow him to order off the child's menu.

Your easiest bet would be to book buffets because then he can be as picky as he likes.

my mother is incredibly picky as well. I cannot tell you how many times she has ordered PLAIN chicken at a restaurant - Disney or not. I don't think it would be too hard to get him something. They make special meals for people with allergies and special diets (by choice such as vegans) all the time.

Oh, this is easy. Pick places with burgers, pasta and chicken. Then order all those things "naked". Very simple. My husband has done that so many times, I have to laugh. Some place that has a chicken breast with (not being exact here) "avacado, parnips, bacon bits, pig livers and artichoke hearts" will easily just give him the chicken breast with nothing else. A burger with anything else on it will come with nothing on it quite simply. Pasta with (again, not being exact) "shrimp, alligator, seagull and chickpeas" can be prepared plain.

My husband has gotten a lot better with his choices but for a while, all his entrees were "naked". Then he could even choose his side dish from all those available in the kitchen. No need to be worried.

agree. I always get plain-naked food sauce on the side even tho I know I won't like it. But it seems to make the servers feel better, they seem to think I am gonna need some 'flavor' on my food! You can usually get fries or mash potato as a side. IMO stay away from signatures and the Wave harder to get plain food.

My DS has gotten adult size portions at numerous restaurants. You can also order items a la carte from the kids menu, so he could get two burgers, one order of fries, etc. We were told by a server last year that they are all charged separately - the package price is just a total.

DS once got a GIANT bowl of mac n cheese at 50's PT. Couldn't finish it!

You must have the patience of a saint!

You're lucky. That's not even close to my DH's pickiness. He'll only eat cheese pizza, french fries, mac & cheese & a few other choice things. We had a hard time with it and he got sick of the Disney pizza. You should have no problems with chicken, burgers, etc. As long as they serve them, I'm sure you can request "plain".
