While I'm typically not a fan of chain restaurants, I must admit I was impressed by this Earl's. I have a corn intolerance which always makes going out to eat a bit of a gamble. It's often hard to know exactly what menu items may include a hidden corn ingredient (you might be surprised where you'll find corn or corn-derived products). Fortunately, the staff at Earl's proved more-than-understanding of my challenge. Chris and Amy showed the utmost concern and went out of their way to check with the kitchen staff to see if the Hunan Kung Pao contained corn products (it does). Luckily, the Pecan chicken Rocket Salad was corn-free and very tasty.
After my great experience at this Earl's, I learned that maybe I shouldn't be so quick to judge a restaurant just because it's a chain. Some chains, like this one, do it up right!
