Last night my husband and I went to a birthday party. They decided to have it at Fuddruckers, which is mostly a burger place. My husband had asked our friend if they still only made burgers or if they now made chicken, because I can’t eat beef and am very allergic to pork. Our friend told us they now had chicken and veggie burgers. I told my husband not to worry because as long as they had salads I would be fine.
Very few people understand about my pork allergy and many think it gotta be the weirdest thing ever. We got there early before everyone by about 20 minutes. My husband and I decided this would be a good time for me to ask some questions about how they do their grills. We asked someone and right away they said a manager was the one we needed to talk to about our food allergies. I was impressed with the manager attitude, and understanding. He has allergies but he also has the attitude of we want everyone to be able to eat here.
I asked him if the chicken was cooked on the same grill as their pork products. He told me they where cooked on another grill, I did go on to explain I am highly allergic to pork. I think I do this just to make sure the restaurant understands that if they aren’t being honest it could really cause both of us some serious problems. He explained that beef and pork where cooked on the same grill but their veggie and chicken where cooked somewhere else. Okay this is good to know. My next question is about the fries. Are the fries cook in the same grease as some of your fried pork products. No we have separate grills for our fries. He explained to me he had a couple of customers like me, who he had to watch for, and that a couple of them he makes their food just to make sure they are safe. Okay I don’t need him to cook my meal as long as the pork is cooked on another grill so I am not going to worry about getting him to cook it for me. On of his cooks is good enough, and shouldn’t be no concerns.
After a few minutes of talking we had our questions answered clearly and better then most places my husband and I go to. We decided we would wait outside for our group. While waiting the manager came up and we started talking. I asked him what Pop products they have because I know some of Coke products I have to be careful of because of their insisting on using a bunch of fake sugars. They had Pepsi products which meant I got to have my favorite pop.
After most everyone was there we went up to order. I had the veggie burger and it was pretty good. I think food tastes better if in the back of your mind your not worrying about is this possibly going to make me sick and require me to need meds right away.
What I found amazing that for my husband and I we spent there the same amount as if we went to Perkins and sometimes that amount is the same as with tip. I am not saying there high price but they are not exactly like fastfood neither in there price but yet you get no real wait services.
I think the customer service was very good and I will probably want to go back there, maybe sometimes when we go out with a couple of our friends.
I wonder if any of their sandwhichs would be found on a Mediterranean cruises.
