Wendy's GF kid's meal

I am on a roll!!!! We went to Wendy's today ( it was chiropractor, dance, tumble and Daddy's football practice night and we were tired of Mc Donald's ). I asked for the manager right away and told her our food allergy situation. I mentioned that across the street at You know who's they would provide me a substitution in the kid's meal to make it allergy friendly for us. I was shocked when she told me that Her daughter and herself had just been diagnosed in June. Does God work miracles or what!!!! She asked if there was anything we could substitute that kids would like. My kids love the baked potatoes and even the chili so it was easy!!! But, they have the choice between a mandarin orange cup or a yogurt and milk or soft drink and a frosty is included plus a toy. Talk about a value. Plus it was only 2.69!!!! So here's how we ordered them

Payson ( celiac )
Baked potato (Chili next time he said)
yogurt
frosty

Karson (dairy/egg allergy )
baked potato ( even though he can eat the burger he loves the potato )
mandarin oranges
he gave me the frosty in trade for a bedtime cookie treat

Of course they both wanted a soft drink.

Later when I was picking up Kaylyn from her tap class I drove thru for her food and she said it was so nice of them to do all of that for her brothers and how good it made her feel that we had another place to go to eat as a family. She wanted her kid's meal the same way.

I hope you can talk to your managers to see what they will do. I will try to find out how we can get this to maybe become a policy at some of these big chains.
Happy Eating!!
