Top allergens to train on

• Shellfish (huge — crawfish, shrimp, oysters)

Our allergen training pipeline treats safety as a first-class concern: Stage 3 fact-check (Claude Opus) flags any allergen claim that can't be verified against the source menu, and a manager approves before any "safe for celiac" or "dairy-free" claim ships to staff.

• Creole vs Cajun distinction
• Mardi Gras + Jazz Fest surge
• Crawfish + Gulf seafood seasonal training
• Cocktail history depth (Sazerac, Hurricane)
