According to latest estimates, people with food allergies are increasing over the last years. So it's no big surprise if the food and restaurant industries also go along with the times. Take for example Bistro 110 in downtown Chicago:

Bistro 110's chefs, wait staff and managers trained with representatives from the Chicago Children's Memorial Hospital to learn about food allergies, and are now required to ask every diner if they have a food allergy, so the restaurant can prepare a special meal with the finest attention and care. Tougne is also working with the Food Allergy Institute to establish a local chapter in Chicago, and challenging the idea that people with food allergies should have limited or bland meal options.

Kudos! May establishments like these multiply!
