Eating out with peanut allergies

Does this get easier?

We are new to the peanut allergy world, and are finding that it is difficult to find a lot of restaurants that don't at least risk cross contamination issues with their foods. I know we are being really neurotic (at least based off the looks people give me). I don't care if we're too neurotic... but do you go anywhere that could risk cross contamination? Any restaurant chains you have found to be friendly towards peanut allergies?

    There are lots of chains that have allergy menus...red robin, carrabas, olive garden to name a few.  We have had a hard time because DS is alos allergic to eggs and previously soy and dairy.  I would not eat somewhere with DS if there was a chance of cross contamination.  Ask lots of questions and if you are not comfortable do not feed them...always bring food!

    A lot of the chain resturants have their menus online so you can research them before you go.

    But no, basically, this doesn't get easier. We called a local BBQ place that my family wanted to eat at for my Grandma's birthday. They assured us no peanuts/peanut oil/nothing. We sit down and open the menu and what's on the kids menu: PB&J. We had brought DD extra food just in case so that's what we used. We won't be going back there either.
