| London, England |
| I had been researching London restaurants for the previous couple of months in anticipation of this moment. Our 21 year old son, Bud (the one with the food allergies), called at 11:30 pm on a Monday night and he and I met at Logan airport at the end of the day that Friday. He made flight arrangements on Virgin Atlantic out of Boston to Hethro in London. Virgin was great. Traveling with food allergies, we certainly appreciated round trip flights with no delays. We decided to fly at night so we could eat dinner before leaving and simply bring a few snacks for the evening. Before I left the house I grabbed some Bachman pretzels, Home Free Treats cookies, individually wrapped Oreos, snowflake rolls from Stop & Shop bakery, an apple, and individual bags of Cape Cod chips. Bud doesn't like junk food very much. It's actually one of the benefits of growing up with food allergies. Back in 1987 when his food allergies began, there wasn't much junk food that was safe for him to eat, so he actually loves fruits and veggies. Yet, I find junk food very convenient when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to plan for refrigeration. From terminal E at Logan we purchased 2 bottles of water for him and one for me, some Lays potato chips and some Snyder pretzels. Bud slept most of the flight, but he was happy to nibble on some of the snacks right before we landed. I was up most of the night so I was happy to eat the meal and snacks provided by Virgin. Yes, I said meal, and only $600 round trip. After we picked up our luggage at Hethro, we converted some dollars to pounds . And before leaving the airport, we purchased an all day tube pass so we could take the tube to the Radisson Edwardian Grafton Hotel at 130 Tottenham Court Rd., London. We soon learned that taking suitcases on the tube is not for the faint of heart. There are many stairs to climb which tested every last ounce of my stamina. Now, I'm not a big person, but I do exercise regularly, so I'm in good shape for my age, but this was a true test of my will. One staircase alone was over 200 steps! The tube was not air conditioned and it was at least 85 degrees outside and I was dressed for a rainy 60 degree day from Boston , so none of that helped. Eventually, we popped out of the doorway onto Tottenham Court Rd. We took a right out of the station, and the Radisson was right there on the corner on our right. It's very easy to miss. Of course, the doorway said Edwardian and we were looking for a Radisson, so it took us a few passes to actually make it into the hotel. When we booked the rooms, we told the hotel that we needed a refrigerator for food allergies. They provide very small fridges for medical reasons only. Normally they are used to store medication so they were only about 18" high by 12" wide by 13" deep. When we checked in, the attendant at the desk didn't want us to use the refrigerator for food until we made it very clear that it was medically necessary and that our entire trip was hinging on my son's ability to store food in that refrigerator. The refrigerator was delivered to our room so we were on our way to a good week. The fridge was not a regular refrigerator with a compressor. It was the type that cooled relative to the ambient temperature in the room, so the unseasonably warm weather made me a bit nervous. It all worked out fine. We made a rule that nothing was allowed in the fridge unless absolutely necessary to minimize the number of times the door would be opened. We wiped it off with Wash'n Dri hand wipes that I brought from home. We used it for soy milk, prepackaged lunch meat and store cut fresh fruit. Bud never ate the fruit. Our 2 rooms each had a mini bar stocked with original Pringles, apple juice, Coke, diet Coke, Strathmore water and sparkling water, Red Bull, Schweppes, Ginger Ale, Tonic water and various types of alcohol. No sign of nuts! I don't like to over pay at the mini bar, although Bud probably wasn't allergic to any of it. Yes, he can drink Red Bull and at age 21 his mother can't stop him. On the way in, I noticed a Sainsbury grocery store, so that would be the destination for most of our shopping for the week. The room had 3 outlets at the desk and 2 below. The fridge plugged right in without an adapter. We did bring adapters from Radio Shack in the U.S., which came in handy since each of us had a cellphone, I had a digital camera, and each of the guys had a laptop. One of the outlets worked with U.S. electronics without an adapter. Right away , I headed to Sainsbury's across the street. We picked up Rice Krispies, Powerade (blue and yellow), Nimble white bread, Sainsbury pink lady (real) apples (in 4 pack), Sainsbury fresh cut melon, Corn Flakes , Pringles, paper plates, and paper cups. Beware, some of the cereals looked identical to what we had in the U.S., until I read the labels and found ingredients Bud was allergic to. I had to go to Tesco Express ( take a right out of the hotel and a few doors down) to find two 6 packs of bottled water (by Evian). Believe it or not, I couldn't find plastic silverware or paper bowls. Lucky for us, Bill and our other son were traveling 24 hours behind us, so a quick e-mail (Bud had a laptop and the hotel provided free wireless) and Bill packed plastic silverware and paper bowls. Theatre Royal on Catherine St. sold water and Pepsi so it's a good thing I brought some Gak's cookies in my waist pack. For 50 pounds, I bought a small microwave at Robert Dyas (take a right out of hotel and it's immediately past Tesco. I consider it part of the cost of travel. Leave it for the maid as a tip? If she's been really good to us? Or donate it to the hotel for the next family with food allergies? We shipped this one home, but I wouldn't recommend it since it ended up being expensive. Some hotels will let guests use the main refrigerator and microwave in the kitchen, but I personally am uncomfortable with the risk of cross-contamination. London Symphony Orchestra, at Barbican Hall offered water, Pepsi and other soft drinks. Bud wasn't hungry, but the Tyrell chips appeared safe for him, and I noticed a strawberry and banana smoothie by Serious that also looked safe for him. Dinner at the Angus Steak House at Leicester Square tube station was a delight. After his usual grilling of the wait staff and manager, Bud had a 12 oz. ribeye with jacket potato (baked potato) and broccoli. The steak was served with a small salad on the same plate and the waitress and chef were astute enough to leave off the dressing. The rest of us automatically received salad dressing on our salads. We were told the steaks are cooked on a designated portion of the grill so we didn't have to worry about cross- contamination with other food ingredients. The waitress warned us that the French fries were next to bread crumbs in the kitchen so Bud knew enough not to order fries. All of the veggie side dishes sounded safe. Of course, we always ask before we order something specific. One morning while the boys were sleeping , I stopped at the Ultimate Burger on Tottenham Court Rd. (just past Robert Dyas) to inquire about the menu. Red flags went up in my head when the manager made a statement about the grill being hot and therefore the cheese from the cheeseburgers would just "burn off". She obviously didn't understand the cross-contamination "thing", so we politely thanked her for her time and moved on. I find there's no point in trying to go any further in a situation like this. Restaurants seem to "get it" or they don't. Monday night we headed over to Bistro 1 for dinner. They have 3 locations in London and we decided to go to 75 Bleak St. in Soho. We got off the tube at Piccadilly Circus and headed north west up Regent St. Before ordering, we guided the waiter through our usual inquisition. He told us there were no nuts in the restaurant. He informed Bud to steer clear of the rice because it was cooked with butter. He recommended the French fries, until Bud asked if anything else was cooked in that same frying oil, which we knew was a vegetable oil at this point. There was a slight language barrier so he didn't quite understand. Once the question was rephrased, he scurried to the kitchen only to return with disappointing, yet useful information. The fryolator is shared with the Calimari which is something Bud should not eat because of the ingredients in it's bread crumb topping. Here's a classic case of cross-contamination which sometimes requires intense inquisition to bring it to light. Bottom line, no French fries for Bud. The rest of the evening went smoothly including a glass of white house wine for our son. Bud was in the mood for seafood so for his starter course he ordered muscles covered in tomato and garlic sauce. It came with a small salad which normally comes with dressing but the waiter ordered it without dressing and offered Bud oil to use instead. For his main course he had swordfish which was also covered with tomato and garlic sauce, accompanied by a huge mound of peas. At the end of the meal the waiter informed us that Bud should NOT order anything from the dessert menu. He did let us know that the starter menu offered melon with berry sauce which should be safe. Bud was too full for dessert, but it's nice to think they offer something sweet. Note: The honeydew melon and mango with mixed berry coulis (sugar and crushed berries), muscles and swordfish were chef specials. Tuesday evening we dined at Bevis Marks The Restaurant , the first Kosher restaurant in London. It's located at 4 Heneage Lane in London. The waitress told us they do not use milk in the kitchen. Bud loved the latkes, and he said the cucumber tasted like mint. He was disappointed to learn they were out of pan fried sea bass. The waitress offered he could eat any of the mains and all of the sides. He ended up ordering chicken breast with skordalia (garlic mashed potatoes). It seemed like the kitchen was a bit slow for the light crowd, but it's a small price to pay for a safe meal. After a spin on the London Eye, we stopped next door at the All Bar One where Bud enjoyed a glass of Guinness beer. The next morning at Tesco I couldn't believe my ears. The two cashiers were discussing food allergies. One woman's husband was allergic to milk, while the other woman had her own food allergies. We're certainly not alone. We spent the entire next day at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew . The place is worth the train ride, but pack a lunch. The Orangery Restaurant posted a sign that basically stated that they were not prepared to deal with food allergies. We did find some Anglesey Sea Chips and Orange Mango Smoothies to go with the cookies I had in my bag, but we were all very hungry by the end of the day. So, back to London to Noodle Noodle at 312 Vauxhall Rd. for an awesome dinner. The waiter let us know there is no milk in the restaurant. Most main dishes can be ordered without egg or nuts. Bud had spring rolls, pork dumpling, vegetable dumpling, and spare rib soup. He was delighted to eat the tomato based sauce with the spring rolls and the sauce that came with the veggie and pork dumplings. He also sampled his brother's chicken strips. Need to add info on place Bud ate without me. And no to hardrock. All of the research paid off and we had a wonderful vacation. |

| Hilton London Paddington 146 Praed St. London, W2 1EE, England Tel: +44 (0)20 7850 0500 Fax: +44 (0)20 7850 0600 www.hilton.co.uk/paddington 3/20/10 Our son with food allergies to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts was NOT here with us. This review shared by Ann. Room 538 was clean, spacious and had a mini bar refrigerator. Since it was a business class room, the price included continental breakfast and snacks throughout the day in the Executive Lounge. There is a sign in the lounge that clearly states that they want to know if a guest has food allergies or other special dietary needs. The mini bar refrigerator included Coke, water, wine, Becks beer, and Heineken. Snacks included cashews, roasted peanuts, biscuits (which included milk, soya, and wheat), and chocolate. Photos of the mini bar are available on Facebook. There is a small space in the refrigerator where guests can cool their personal items. Rohan, the Assistant Front Office Manager suggested that they would be happy to empty the refrigerator for a person with food allergies so there would be ample space to cool the guest’s groceries. He would appreciate advanced notice for such a request. Rohan told me that the Hilton does not have microwave ovens available for guest rooms and that they do not typically offer to heat food for guests. He referred me to Susan Edwards who is the Executive Manager of the hotel. She claims that Hilton does not want guests bringing food into the hotel, therefore they do not allow guests to have microwaves in the room. She emphasized that the restaurant staff could prepare any necessary food for patrons with food allergies so that a microwave would not be necessary. She said that she would get back to me to see what arrangements they could allow regarding food allergies, if any. The continental breakfast in the Executive Lounge included scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurt, cantaloupe, honey dew melon, pineapple, pastries and boxed cereals. Hot coffee, juice, bottled coke and bottled water were also available. A small box of chocolates was on the desk and a foil wrapped chocolate was on the turned down comforter on the bed. The room smelled like baby powder and was quite warm when I arrived. Two double hung windows opened a few inches at the bottom to allow fresh air. I could see Paddington Tube station directly across the street and enjoyed the hum of the street noise while the windows were ajar. Foam pillows and a foam duvet are available for guests who are allergic to feathers. |

| Blach & Blue 105 Gloucester Rd. London, UK SW7 020 7244 7666 blackandbluerestaurants.com 3/23/10 Our son with food allergies to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts was NOT here with us. This review shared by Ann. After dinner I talked with Jo, the manager, regarding food allergies. She said they have served multiple patrons with food allergies successfully. She explained to me that their grill is divided into three sections. The third of the grill to the left is for meat, the third to the right is for fish, and the section in the middle is for anything that is prepared with cheese. Jo said the chef would be agreeable to cleaning a portion of the appropriate section of the grill for someone with food allergies. Jo explained that they have vegetables such as peppers and mushrooms that could be sautéed in a separate pan for a patron with food allergies. Salads are also available. When we got to the topic of starch, they only serve French fries. She explained that she has been the manager at Blach and Blue for several weeks and she was not precisely sure what ingredients are in the other items that also go into the fryer so she would research it and get back to me with more details about possible cross-contamination. Coincidentally, she and the chef are in the process of identifying every ingredient in every menu item in the restaurant so that they will have an improved system for serving patrons with food allergies. I suggested that they consider a plain potato be available for patrons with food allergies. In my opinion, their sirloin steak was very good. |
| Da Mario Gastronomia Napoletana 15 Gloucester Rd. Kensington London SW7 4PP 020 7584 9078 enquiries@damario.co.uk www.damario.co.uk 3/21/10 Our son with allergies to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts was NOT here with us. This review shared by Ann. After dinner I spoke with the waiter regarding food allergies. He then spoke with the chef on my behalf. They serve patrons with nut allergies and gluten free diets on a regular basis. They typically stock gluten free pasta, but were out of stock when I was there. The chef seemed to think the gluten free pasta was egg free and milk free but was not 100 percent sure since he did not have the box available. The waiter told me it would be more difficult to serve someone on a milk free and egg free diet, but they could do it. They have plenty of non-pasta items and the chef is willing to prepare whatever the patron needs. Their pizza bread is milk free, and egg free, so the waiter suggested they could make a non cheese pizza if the patron was interested. Their tomato sauce is also milk, egg, and nut free. |

This review shared by Ann. The head waitress said that they have experience serving patrons with food allergies and that making a milk-free, egg-free, nut-free meal for our son would not be a problem. |
| Hilton London Paddington Dining Room and Executive Lounge 146 Praed St London, W2 1EE, England Tel: +44 (0)20 7850 0547 Fax: +44 (0)20 7850 0600 3/22/10 Our son with food allergies to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts was NOT with us. This review shared by Ann. I talked to Kusal, the Room Service Manager. He was in charge of the Hilton restaurant when I spoke with him. The food for the Main Dining Area and the Executive Lounge is prepared in the same kitchen. Kusal told me they serve many guests with food allergies. He used an example of one guest with a dairy allergy for whom they prepared porridge without milk. The chefs are happy to prepare custom meals for food allergic patrons. Kusal suggested that guests with food allergies tell the front desk manager about the food allergies when they first check in. That person will e-mail the executive chef and restaurant managers about the food allergies. The guest should explain the food allergies to the dining room manager before each actual meal. Kusal said he personally tries to remember a guest’s food allergies after his first discussion with them. He said he has guests who repeatedly return to the hotel because the chefs at the Hilton do a good job handling their food allergies. |

This review shared by Ann. After dinner, I spoke with the manager regarding food allergies. She told me they use sunflower oil in the kitchen. They stopped using peanut oil because they realize a growing number of people are developing allergies to peanuts. They do not use milk in the kitchen, but they do use it at the bar for some of their drinks. She used the example of iced tea with milk. Some of the recipes include egg and/or peanuts. They deal with food allergies and gluten free diets on a regular basis. The chefs know enough to use clean woks and clean utensils. Patrons should ask for the manager on duty and discuss food allergies prior to placing an order. The manager mentioned that they have 18 other locations in London and they should all be following the same food allergy protocol. |
