I’ve worked in food service, mainly at a hospital, and I’m always surprised when staff or the restaurant isn’t very good about this. At the hospital, there were safeguards, because… hospital. But in other cases, I’ve usually never had a hard time going to the kitchen and asking what was in the dish. Occasionally it’s necessitated lugging a giant Sysco box out of the freezer to look at the world’s most inconveniently placed ingredients list, but that’s about as hard as it ever got. Any restaurant where people aren’t willing or able to do this isn’t worth your time or your money.
