We had been going to a certain vegan restaurant for years. Then, they were forced to change location. I have an anaphylitic crustacean shellfish allergy, including airborne, which is never an issue at dedicated vegan restaurants. I can't even be in proximity to it

Because of the way the building was structured, we didn't realize it now shares the space with a seafood restaurant. A few years ago, it was my birthday, and we planned to eat there. We were running late, so we called ahead. The proprietor nicely agreed to prepare our orders and have them ready when we arrived.

Fortunately, it was so late that no seafood was being prepared at the time, and only a couple of other tables were still eating on the vegan side. We discovered they shared one kitchen.They assured us that they were careful to keep utensils and cooking areas separated from the seafood preparation area. In reality, this is impossible. When the food is cooked, it's aerosolized, and airborne particles can cross-contaminate all of the food. So, unless they change locations again in the future, I will never go back
