Matt regularly appears with Jordan Rich on “Connoisseur’s Corner” which airs on WBZ (http://boston.cbslocal.com) weekdays at 11:55 AM.

The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s forthcoming segments:

As much as I love food, there are certain foods of which I am not a fan. When I ask a chef to keep them off my plate, however, I am always sure to emphasize that the ask is based upon a preference and not an allergy. That way, they do not have to turn the kitchen upside down just for me.

Recently, I found a new food manufacturer who avoids the issue altogether by creating delicious and nutritious foods in an completely allergy-free facility.

Zego Foods’ mission is to provide high-quality, nourishing foods in a way the leads and inspires the rest of the industry in terms of allergy awareness. Testing each batch individually for any sort of contamination, Zego’s 100% organic, real-food bars are perfect for every diet – from Celiac and Kosher to Paleo and Vegan – and offer flavor and nutrition that also beat most competitors as well. In addition to fresh flavor, their bars are packed with antioxidants, fiber, Omega 3s, and complete proteins, making them just as perfect for those of us with no known allergies.

So whether you cannot eat certain foods or love getting others on the run, Zego is the way to go.
