When a Good Restaurant Messes Up--They Fix It

All who are medically mandated gluten free have had both good and bad food experiences while traveling. Hey let’s face it; sometimes we just plain and simply do not want to cook at home.

We personally do not eat out often for obvious reasons—the inherent risk of my beloved, Rick, ingesting food cross-contaminated with a gluten containing product or being prepared on or in cooking equipment not properly cleaned, thus non-gluten containing food becoming contaminated with gluten.

The ONLY restaurant—and, I mean the ONLY restaurant—where we can order our food confident that it will be prepared correctly and safely is Jimmy’s located in downtown Opelika, AL. This restaurant is so conveniently located, only three blocks from our home. Jim, a personal friend, takes pride in his restaurant and his work. In the three and a half years since Rick’s Celiac/severely gluten intolerance diagnosis, Rick has never enjoyed the same dish twice. All we do is say “Please tell Jim that Rick Horne is here.” and in just a little while beautiful, delicious and safe foods just pour forth from the kitchen.
