Fool me once... Pei Wei.
I was seriously disappointed this past weekend when for a second time in a row, there was a noodle in my gluten free chicken at Pei Wei. The noodle was actually wrapped around my Pei Wei Spicy chicken – meaning it was cooked together. I immediately told the managing chef of what I discovered and he explained to the other cooks of the seriousness. It’s great that the head chef understand but when the people doing most of the cooking don’t… that’s a huge problem. He re-made my dish and assured me he would make it himself, in a clean wok and everything. This practice should be done ALL of the time, not just when someone complains. Anyways, as much as I love my gluten free Pei Wei Spicy, as the old adage says, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” It will likely be a long time, if ever, that I return to Pei Wei. And if you decide to eat there too, then be cautious and ask to speak to the chef each and every time.
Bummer!

I have gotten terribly sick from trying to eat gluten free at Pei Wei. It's just such a fast paced kitchen that they don't have the time to be careful enough to avoid cross contamination.
