Chef Eric

It's too delicious to pass up. Even after eating at Sassagoula's just three days ago, my family and I decided to head back there to take in the New Orleans styled atmosphere as well as eat up the delicious food This time; however, Chef Eric was on duty and taking care of the allergy orders. Chef Eric is actually Sassagoula's head chef right now, so I was excited to have him as my caterer for the morning. Like last tie, I ordered the allergy beignets, which are still made in a dedicated fryer with Bob's Red Mill Pizza Crust Mix. I also ate delicious bacon from the back of their pantry. Additionally, I ate some pancakes that are made with the Namaste Pancake and Waffle mix in a dedicated skillet with some natural maple syrup on the side. I was also interested in trying their waffles, but Chef Eric replied with some disappointing news. Usually, they use the Namaste mix to make their allergy waffles on a dedicated waffle maker, but today it was broken. He also told me something interesting. Apparently, the company that makes the waffle grills that they use in their restaurant actually makes an allergy mix as well. However, this mix is not safe for everyone, because it is only gluten-free. It also contains soy flour. It is likely that Disney serves waffles made with these mixes on a safe waffle maker (or at least Sassagoula's) to anyone who just has gluten allergies because they are probably cheaper than the Namaste. However, if you have any other restrictions, then they use their special Namaste mix. For me, my only top eight allergy that I DON'T have is gluten, so I wouldn't have had a choice. But, as I said before, the safe skillet was broken. The meal that I had was still delicious - the bacon and pancakes were yummy and beignets are definitely one of my favorite treats right now - but what I learned about their waffle mixes was really the thing that stood out to me during this breakfast.
