Alternate food requests for the kids?

[AJsMomma]

I think I read on here a while ago that if there is nothing on the menu that your child will eat that you can request food from a different place? Like if a certain child (mine!) won't eat anything (and I mean pretty much nothing) other than macaroni and cheese (for example) that you can request it ahead of time?

Does anyone know the process for this?

I am all for getting DD to try new foods but I really need to have a back up.

(We think she's dealing with texture issues).

Thanks so much in advance!

At some restaurants they will bring food from a different kitchen or a different restaurant.

At some restaurants they won't or can't.

If you have a child who will eat only macaroni and cheese, your best bet is to book restaurants that serve macaroni and cheese - there are loads of them. One restaurant that will allow substititions for children who don't like the menu: 'Ohana will allow her to have macaroni and cheese at dinner, but they will charge the regular child's price for the family style meal.

1) I would eat mainly QS eateries.
2) With the menu changes, most now have mac & cheese.
3) MOST sit-down eateries will not go elsewhere for food.
4) It takes additional manpower.
5) And, manpower is getting to be a premium.
6) If several people an hour ask for favors, it takes too much time.

Thank you to you both.

Yes, I dropped the ball on reading over the kids menus before making reservations. I was too concerned with what I would be eating - ha! Now it's 4 days out and...lightbulb...thought hey, maybe I should check out the kids menus...duh!!

It's not just mac and cheese...it's just that she'll likely (and probably happily) be eating pasta with sauce for 4 days in a row...thought I would try and mix it up. Not a huge deal...and we usually bring other food things (from Garden Grocer) to supplement her picky eating.

Thanks again!
