Allergens, fryers, and cross-contact
A clean ingredient list is not the whole story, because most stores fry several foods in the same oil. Here is what this item usually contains.
- Wheat or gluten is likely, from a bun, breading, or biscuit.
- Shared fryers mean fish, dairy, or wheat contact is possible even on a “plain” fried item.
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.
- Say the item name first, then the change (“no mayo,” “extra pickle”).
- 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.
