Where is "around here"? Even if they don't add MSG most all the
prepared ingredients they use contain MSG.

That's BS... bery, bery few people are actually allergic to to MSG.
MSG occurs naturally in many every day foods, including breast milk.
Chinese restaurant syndrome is attributed to consuming too much
ordinary salt in too short a time... Chinese restaurant cookery uses
lots of salt. Your friend would get the same migraine from consuming
kosher deli food too.
