American in Chicago, documented for diners with allergies: 12 listings whose own published material we have read and dated. The allergens they document most are Gluten (12), Milk (3), Soy (3); 2 of the 12 document a dedicated facility, and 10 are independently owned.
The honest gap in this set is Wheat: only 2 of the 12 document it in published material. Where a listing does not document your allergen, its page says so and its prep card turns the gap into questions you can ask in one phone call.

2 do, in their own published material — including Wheat's End Café and CheSa's Bistro & Bar. A dedicated facility is the strongest protocol a restaurant can publish; it still is not a guarantee, and each listing quotes the restaurant's own wording and date.
By count of listings documenting them: Gluten (12), Milk (3), Soy (3). The least documented is Wheat (2 of 12). Undocumented means the restaurant's published material is silent — not that the allergen is absent from the kitchen.
Tick Compare on any two or three cards: the comparison is built from each listing's own documented fields — allergens documented, protocol items, price band, neighbourhood and last-checked date — so you are comparing published evidence, not impressions.
How a restaurant gets on this page: its own allergen menu or protocol statement was found and dated, or it answered our protocol questionnaire. Listings with no documented protocol are labelled "Listed" and show the questions to ask instead of a claim.
