Okay.  So, if you know me, you know my W(aL)D side likes to write weird e-mails and/or letters to restaurants, car companies, food companies, and basically anyone I can think of. 

My normal side got the best of me one day, and I decided to submit a letter via webform to Bob Evans to express my sadness over the addition of shrimp stir fry to their menu.  Those of you who have dined in the same restaurant as me know why it's such a pain in the ass to eat anywhere without the paranoia of a possible death by shellfish contamination.  Bob Evans has for a long time been a safe-haven of mine, having no shellfish on the menu.  (Texas Roadhouse in Greensburg used to be in this category, but now they sadly have grilled shrimp galore also.)

I (like an idiot) did not save a copy of my original message to Bob Evans.  It was basically a hello, telling them how much I enjoy the food & service, & expressing my concern over the shrimp thing while at th same time acknowledging that it's probably a great seller as many people enjoy shrimp.

I wrote to Texas Roadhouse too, and they basically told me to shove it in not so many words.

This guy at Bob Evans actually took the time to write back, and make a (or at least copy an already existing) chart detailing the items that I could still eat without fear fo death by suffocation.  Now, I think that's pretty damn neat.  I plan to go there more often, as the corporate animal does seem to care about all of their customers as individuals... which any more seems quite rare.  They even copied some people on the inside, so it might come up as a concern to someone later.

So, I share this letter with you, to spread the word of the awesomeness of Bob Evans, and hope that you will support them too.
