Charlie Granquist, the chef at Slough Farm, said he’s worked hard to find ways to eliminate alpha-gal allergens from the meals he cooks for farm staff and the Island community. He estimated that around half of the farmers he regularly cooks for have alpha-gal.
Woah. That's bad. Alpha-gal is the tick borne thing that makes you allergic to red meat (and maybe dairy products or other animal proteins). And here is a chef saying half their customers have it. Just an anecdote, but still...
From the post title, I thought this was gonna be a story about karens
yeah, maybe I'm the karen here -- although I don't know what I'm karen-ing about. maybe, just that tick borne diseases freak me out. and not being able to eat meat is even more freaky.
I used to think Alpha meant being the boss of the kitchen.
