My Best Spokin Find: Ema in downtown Chicago is amazing. The waitstaff and kitchen were super helpful with allergies, and peanuts are virtually nonexistent on the menu. One of my favorite places in Chicago, hands down!

My Favorite Review: Dinkel’s Bakery is peanut free! It is hands down one of the best donut places in Chicago. Go for the sour cream ones.

LAUREN BEACH

SAFEMOM

Allergies: Peanut, Tree Nut, Egg, Mustard, Sesame, Chickpea, Grass

Location: West Orange, NJ

My Best Spokin Find: Chocolate Smarties are delicious! I was so excited to find out from Spokin that they were safe for my kids…they are nut free! Unlike M&Ms, which state on the label that they may contain peanuts, these seem to be safe from any potential cross contamination.

My Favorite Review: Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara —There are not enough positive words to describe my experience there. The staff made us feel so relaxed about our kids’ food allergies, including their uncommon ones, mustard and chickpea.
