Eating Out Tips
Whether to eat out at restaurants is, of course, a personal choice. There is always the risk of cross-contamination and misinformation about the ingredients in menu items. However, eating fresh, simply prepared foods combined with careful communication with the wait staff and chefs can allow you to have many delicious dining experiences. But always keep in mind the motto "When
in doubt, do without!"
