At first, I thought this was absolutely ludicrous; I mean, going into an Asian restaurant and asking that ingredients essential to style of that cuisine are removed? Okay, so you have an allergy or some other good reason for not wanting that ingredient in your meal, but that whole scenario seems on par with going to a cheesesteak joint when you're lactose-intolerant.
Then it occurred to me that someone must have walked into a brewery and asked that the wheat and barley were removed. Now we have gluten-free beer.
It's not awesome beer, but hey... whatever people want, right?
Actually, yes. If someone has an allergy, possibly severe or potentially fatal, then they may make seemingly strange requests at a restaurant, and the restaurant may or may not comply with them. Besides, you can get a steak sub without cheese. Plenty of people do.
