DELICARDO – How it all began

It was supposed to be a romantic evening dinner…

It all began with an aperitif by candle light, intense eye contact, a woman and an attractive man. The sole interruption was the waiter, who wanted to take the order. It took but a moment for the gentleman to make his choice. But then, suddenly, the moment that changed the whole evening. There it was again, the famous scene from Harry and Sally.
She said: “I would like the salad with turkey breast, but please don’t coat the turkey breast in flour before frying it – I cannot tolerate grains. And please no cream or yoghurt for the salad dressing, ideally on a separate plate, and no tomatoes in the salad, please. Then I would like the steak with spinach and fried potatoes, without the onion rings, please, as they might contain grains. And would you be so kind as to ask the kitchen staff if the spinach is cream spinach or if it is simply steamed? I cannot tolerate cream. Oh, and by the way, in case the steak is served with sauce, please ask for a sauce without cream or flour, ideally on an extra plate. Thanks a lot!”

The attractive man no longer looked deep into her eyes, but seemed to ask himself instead: is she complicated or simply nuts?
She knew this kind of look only too well and replied: “I am simply sensitive to gluten and lactose and allergic to tomatoes.”
The remainder of the evening turned out to be completely different from what could be expected. The concept of the DELICARDO Foodcard was born that night and nine months later it was printed for the very first time.
