Unfortunately, they fry in a soybean oil mixture, but fortunately, there are still a whole lot of options still available. So needless to say all of the fried items are off limits, which is most of the appetizers. So no Samosas, Pakodas, or Batada Wada. The Murgh Tikka is okay. All of the Naan bread … Read more
Wonderful News! Our kids can eat at Carrabba’s Italian Grill. I haven’t seen him this happy at a restaurant in a long time. Most Italian restaurants “cool” their pasta in soybean oil to keep the pasta from sticking together. That and sneaky doses of soybean oil in the pasta sauces make it extremely difficult to … Read more

More interesting news on the pizza front. After learning last week about Donatos gluten (and possibly unintentionally soy) free pizza, we’ve now learned that East of Chicago Pizza may not contain soy. I stress “may not” because we can say that they use corn oil in their crust instead of soybean oil, which is wonderful … Read more
Magic City Creations has cupcakes like you wouldn’t believe — and the best part, if you call ahead, they’ll work with you and make sure that you can get soy free cupcakes. For our first order, our kids had the: Churro: Yellow Cinnamon Cake, Cream Cheese Icing, Cinnamon Sugar & Caramel Drizzle Neapolitan: Vanilla cake, strawberry … Read more
I just found out some wonderful news from our local Donatos. Starting next week, Donatos will be offering a gluten free crust. The good news is that the crust is made by Udi’s, so as an added benefit, it has no soybean oil in it. You can order them in the restaurant and there’s a … Read more
Well, that was a semi false positive last November. Now I’m just confused. Before I get into it, I do want to give kudos to Chipotle for at least having the decency of telling us if there’s soybean oil in their food. As you can see on the chart, they at least mark in a … Read more
Thanks to Sarah for this heads up about Qdoba: “I just wanted to let you know that QDoba is another restaurant that cooks everything in soybean oil.” Sarah sent me the link to Qdoba’s allergen & ingredient list, and sure enough they’re playing the “soybean oil isn’t made of soy” game. A quick look at … Read more
Apparently something has changed in the last two years. Read the comments below, as this information seems to be outdated now According to Sonia, they’re using vegetable oil, but 5 days earlier Patti says “beef tallow” Popeyes’ fries the way things are supposed to be fried, in LARD! None of this we-pretend-to-be-healthy-but-really-crazy-bad-for-you soybean oil. Give … Read more
Our kids are the only kids in America that are tired of McDonald’s because, so far, that’s been one of the few fast-food restaurants where we can reliably get say-free meal for them.
DiningWithoutSoy.com is 10 years old!
Our kids have outgrown their soy allergies, but we keep this site running to help everybody else who is going through the same grief.
We'd love to keep this site relevant for every other parent (and person) that has to go through this nightmare. If you collect any information about any organization that serves food, please share it with us and we'll make sure the world knows about it.
