The mushroom burger sounds fabulous. And, according to Chili's nutritionist, the guacamole has no dairy (see rest of post for explanation of how I found this out).
I emailed Chili's asking if there was anything on their menu I could eat, by which I meant no dairy, no whole grains, nothing fried. Their very nice nutritionist wrote back to say the following should work:
- Citrus Fired Chicken (margarita marinated chicken breast) and Shrimp (request no garlic butter) without Rice and sub steamed veggies (request no garlic butter or parm cheese)
- Grilled Salmon w/ Garlic & herbs - (request no garlic spread or oil - salmon cooked dry), skip the rice, and sub dry steamed veggies (request no garlic butter or parm cheese)
- Margarita Grilled Chicken - request dry-grilled with No Black Beans, No Rice and No Tortilla Strips - sub steamed veggies (request no garlic butter or parm cheese)
- Dinner Salad topped with only sliced Tomatoes with a side of oil and vinegar for dressing
- Pico de Gallo or Guacamole as a garnish/topping for salads, etc....
As you'll see, she lists guacamole as being safe. I should note that she also warned me that their hamburger buns have "wheat flour" as the first ingredient even though they say "white". I'm going to email her to clarify whether this is whole wheat or not. I also want to ask what's in their flour tortillas, since eliminating the rice from the above entrees means a lack of soluble fiber.
Incidentally, I emailed a number of other chains like Chili's and Chili's is the only one I got any help from.
