January 2024
Welcome to Ben Alexander’s Eats of the Month. I’m going to share my favorite dishes I ate this month! I will explain why I chose them and how they can be allergy-friendly for you!
Food #1: Six Hundred Downtown Pizza
Rationale: Six Hundred Downtown Pizza is a pizza place in Bellefontaine, Ohio. I went with my Young Adult group at my Church. We went tubing at Mad River Mountain in Bellefontaine, Ohio & we decided to eat here. Personally I love their pizza. It was hot & fresh. It was really good even when I had it the next day. My Mom put the pizza in the oven along with my dairy-free cheese. I personally recommend eating here. They did such a great job in dealing with my allergies. I did have some confusion with the menu & they did a great job in clarifying and double checking to make sure my food was dairy-free. If you have allergies just communicate to your waiter/waitress & you should be fine eating here at Six Hundred Downtown Pizza.
Food #2: China Wok
Rationale: I love their sweet & sour chicken along with their fried rice & beef & broccoli. It is a really good to eat. I also love their sweet & sour shrimp, but my family never orders it for me, they don’t like the smell or taste. That’s fine, but I really enjoy this Chinese restaurant in Marysville, Ohio.
Food #3: Owyn Protein Shakes
Rationale: Owyn is a plant protein shakes. I have had the Chocolate, Vanilla, and No Nut ButterCup Protein Shakes. I really do love these amazing protein shakes. This month was the first time I have ever had a protein shake in my entire life because most protein shakes have whey in it. Whey has dairy in it so that’s a no-go for me since I am extremely allergic to dairy. I saw these at my local Walmart. Unfortunately I haven’t seen them where I found them. I know there other plant protein shake mix that is dairy-free I’ll have to check out sometime in the future.
Food #4: Chipotle Chicken
Rationale: I really love their chicken. I got the burrito bowl & it was really good! I normally get the steak whenever I go to Chipotle. I got the chicken because I had $10 on a chipotle gift card & the chicken made the bowl less than $10 so I decided to eat the chicken. I really do love that chicken! I like Chipotle a lot. It is a great mexican fast-casual restaurant that I really enjoy to eat at. Plus it is allergy friendly & never having an allergic reaction eating at Chipotle.
Food #5: John Soules Southern Style Chicken Sandwich
Rationale: I found these at my local Walmart. They’re dairy-free & I really enjoyed eating them. I had no allergic reaction & I really can’t complain about them at all. If you find these at your local retailer I would pick them up & eat them for a quick dinner!
