Jimmy John's

Just found out yesterday, via an e-mail from Jimmy John's headquarters, that Jimmy John's bread is lactose free!

As long as you get no butter on your sandwich, you should be fine.

McDonald's

McDonald's allergen menu is tough to read. It is a full ingredient list, so you have to read through everything.

The basics:

• Egg McMuffins without cheese and butter are safe of lactose.
• A regular hamburger on a regular bun is fine.
• The fries are not OK, since they contain whey.

Everything else, you are on your own. Hopefully, someone at McDonald's stumbles across this humble blog and checks out their competitors' allergen menus.

Leann Chin's

So, Leann Chin's website is terrible for allergen information (meaning none to be found), but you can request information at the restaurant.

Here are the basics:

The white rice is fine (not sure about the fried rice)
Most entrees are fine, as long as the meat is not breaded

For sure the Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Peking Chicken and Sesame Chicken are all lactose free.

Taco John's

Just went to Taco John's and found out the regular Crispy Taco (without cheese) is dairy free. The Potato Ole's are also dairy-free. This has now solved our drunken food run problems.

Coconut Milk

Just found out today that coconut milk is safe from lactose. This has opened up a ton of restaurant options....
