Fwd: Chili's gluten free items

[Guest guest]

Has anyone emailed Chili's to find out if the salsa and some of the other

items (like dill pickles) are only omitted due to distilled vinegar? I

just sent them an email and will let you know when I get a response.

Does anyone eat here regularly?

Thanks,

I eat there quite often, and haven't noticed any problems. Although

I'm not very sensative. I always have the salsa and usually get a

burger and fries, although I now see that the fries are not fried in

a separate fryer. Perhaps I should not eat them anymore, lol. I've

also had the monterey chicken, which has BBQ sauce, cheese and bacon

on it. Its not listed so I'm guessing the sauce might have gluten

in it...vinegar perhaps?

They do have a bacon burger on the GF menu, so I doubt it's that.

Hmmm.....
