SelectWisely now offers a laminated restaurant card in English. Only English. Carry this card in your wallet. It can be used any time you need to confirm that the meal you are ordering is free of allergic ingredients. Travel with it or use it for local dining. Hand it to the maitre'd, the waiter or the waitress. Ask them to take it to chef.
