And that is the key! Countless of millions of folks have food restrictions. I am diabetic. I pretty much stop going out and eat home. If I need to be on the road I pack a smoothie or bring staples for me to snack. I save a lot of money in the process, but really miss out on exploring new dishes.

Talked to a number of restaurant owners who found out they were celiac or diabetic later in life, like me stop eating out. They admit sales are down because of allergies, but the general public crave for tasty food! (salt, sugar, gluten, fat etc.) They don't want to lose any more sales!
