About the project

Hi, my name is Jeffery Thompson, I am 12 years old, and the name of my of business F.A.R. from the E.R. Which is a food allergy restaurant that hopes to keep you out of the emergency room. Every day I fight Eosinophilic Esophagitis or EOE for short. I had a very limited diet due to this disease and severe food allergies. After five full years of being tube-fed, once I was able to eat again, I decided I wanted to be a chef for people who suffer like me.” I used to have to watch my friends and family eat birthday cake while I couldn’t join in…that is, until I sat down and researched allergy free alternatives to my mom's existing recipes. Learning how to cook to keep myself safe, was not an easy feat, but I definitely accomplished it. It was better for me to cook at home then to try restaurants. I have been to the ER too many times to count because of cross-contamination or incorrect labels. 

The Steps

  1. Trademarking for marketing and branding
  2. Supplies 

Why we‘re doing it

I am doing this so that people who have food allergies like me will be able to have regular tasting desserts
