In a classic case of the chicken and the egg, it’s not always easy to determine just how restaurant menus are crafted. Does the establishment base its menu off the opinions of its patrons, or do the patrons go to the restaurants who already serve the foods they like? As it turns out, it’s […]
It was the worst nightmare of anyone with a severe dietary restriction or food allergy. In late July, a restaurant patron was hospitalized–and almost killed–when he was served a dish containing salmon, which he is deathly allergic to.
