Next month, DS will be going on a 8th-grade field trip which includes stopping at Union Station to eat. It has been years (pre-DS!) since I've been to Union Station so I don't know what's there. I did look on-line but would appreciate it if someone who has been there recently could tell me what's safe to eat--Peanut/Tree nuts/Chickpea allergies. Thanks!
I'm only dealing with peanut, tree nut and egg with my DD so I cannot speak to chickpea. There's a McDonald's on the upper level by the gates to board trains. There's a Flamer's burger stand down in the food court; however, I think we didn't eat at that one despite eating at Flamer's at our local mall. I think we've only let DD have McD's. Having an egg allergy limits a lot of places, especially deli stands.
Does't McD's have peanuty-things? I've never let DS eat at McD's.
I believe there is a Chipotle, it is out of the way near the front entrance.
CookingMom,
The peanuts for sundaes are in separate bags. I think it's the same with their other nut-containing items (a salad and oatmeal).
The Chipotle must be new.
Thanks, maeve...I may take DS to McD's but not on a field trip for the first time.
Flamer's looks good, I think--never been there but DS might try it. He's such a picky eater although he's getting better.
On-line, it mentions a Taco Bell at Union Station. Does anyone know for sure? Taco Bell is certainly not my favorite place but DS will eat tacos 24/7. ~)
I'm pretty sure that the Taco Bell is in the food court on the lower level, which is where Flamers is located. DD usually gets a beef hot dog and fries at the Flamers at our local mall.
Thank you. DS will be one happy kid not to have to be the only one to bring a bag lunch. I did tell him I'd give him some type of snack he could put in his pocket...just in case...but I'm sure between a taco and a hot dog, he'll do fine.
