- Wheat or gluten is likely, from a bun, breading, or biscuit.
- Milk or dairy shows up often: cheese, mayo, a Frosty, or cream.
How to order it at the speaker
Most kitchens will hold mayo, add bacon, or put chili on fries when the ingredient is already on the line. Expect a small upcharge, and skip invented secret-menu names.

- Delivery menus can be shorter and cost more than the dining room.
- Before about 10:30 a.m., many lunch sandwiches are not on the board yet.
