At least it's on a long weekend when I have nothing important to do! It's screwing my workouts, but that won't kill me. I am just so relieved that I don't have to go to work tomorrow, or that I had no races or anything.

I'm SO sorry this happened. My mother is celiac, and she's so, so careful because her symptoms when her food is contaminated are awful. She ate a muffin once that was advertised as "gluten free", and she said it was such a GREAT gluten free muffin. She said it tasted like the real thing! Guess what? It wasn't gluten free. My mother had symptoms for a MONTH.
Ugh, again, I'm sorry. I'd be pissed at the restaurant.
Ok, well now I am extra pissed if they also made your friend sick.
I understand that accidents happen, blah blah blah, but if you immediately knew the place I was talking about because they also made your friend sick, then that is more like a pattern of carelessness.
Take to Yelp, and now that you now it is a pattern I would seriously think about reporting them to the food safety board or whomever licenses restaurants in your city or county. This is also a big emerging area in the law, class action lawsuits for food mislabeling. The ethics of it are debatable but the bottom lines the restaurant screwed up - big - and they need to fix it with something more than a free meal. Poor you.
And I just talked to the lady who runs my favorite GF bakery/food shop and SHE has gotten sick there, too.
Oh hell no.
I would be a lot less upset if they didn't tout themselves as being this gf nirvana. It's on their sign, in all of their ads, they ask you if you need a gf menu when you first walk in the door, etc.
