Just got this email from Upstream Brewery:

From: Chef David Christie, Executive Chef Upstream Brewing Company
Legacy
Re: Gluten Free

I apologize that it has taken so long for us to get back in contact with
you. I have worked with several members of Celiac-Sprue foundation on
Leavenworth Street and have developed a strong interest in assisting
those with gluten intolerances in finding a quality and safe meal. At
our restaurant we have many options available, and we generally try to
handle these situations on an individual basis so we can best meet our
guests' needs and preferences. Some of the options I often choose
include making our tomato basil soup from scratch or preparing the soy
glazed tilapia with soba noodles instead of the rice noodles. However,
when you visit our restaurant I would prefer that you ask for me so that
I can personally work something out that you will enjoy and that I can
assure will be safe. If I am not in the restaurant when you visit any
of my other sous chefs should be able to accommodate you. I can be
reached here at the Legacy restaurant. I am normally here
all day Tuesday thru Saturday and most Sunday mornings.
If you have any questions please feel free to call. I look forward to serving
you in the future.

Thanks,
Dave Christie

What a great email! I'm glad he's so willing to work with people on this issue.

I'm just happy he's willing to work with me! Most of the emails I got back were snobby or a typical autoresponse.

Cruelshoes, thanks for the info! I'll keep that in mind next time I go.
