hi! i'm not a member...but have been lurking on and off for years. you all have such great advice. i don't have much support for my son's allergies and have generally handled everything fine on my own. however, as he gets older...we are being faced with some "newer" situations that i have not really thought through. so, i wanted to bounce something off of you all to see if i'm crazy for thinking this scenario could be ok.
my son is almost 6 and is PA only. he had one reaction at 18 mos that involved hives and vomitting. he has had no reactions since...we have a relatively tight comfort zone. he was invited by a family friend to celebrate their son's birthday at a japanese steak house- local place and they do cook in front of you. i have always sworn off asian cuisine without much thought. however, this restaurant does not seem to use nuts in their dishes (from the menu posted online and a conversation over the phone). and, they do not use peanut oil. if it were an american steak house...i would say ok. it, being japanese, makes me a bit uneasy. has anyone eaten at these types of restaurants with success? thanks for any input!
