1-Star Review of Florence Events Center
Listen, if you have a food allergies of any kind the in-house catering will do its best to kill you. There is absolutely zero food handling training or smart execution around that as far as I can tell. I attended a conference here and know the organizers. I have celiac disease and can't handle gluten. The organizers for sure asked as to their ability to accommodate food allergies and they claimed capability. Gluten free bagels for breakfast stacked on the same plating with the glutenous ones. Pasta dinner with the gluten free pasta next to the glutenous pasta and everyone swapping serving spoons back and forth. Food labeling all over the place. Definitely got sick after eating a corn tortilla taco lunch with God knows what practices in the kitchen. The meals were part of the cost and part of the registration fee. The purpose is to socialize and interact and instead I have to go into town to go get meals either by myself or after asking friends to bail to join me. Absolutely ridiculous.
