Applebee's Bourbon Street Seasoned Mushrooms

High histamine

These are mushrooms in a bourbon-style seasoning, and they run high from the alcohol seasoning acting as a DAO blocker.

Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.

DAO Blocker

The dish is sauteed mushrooms tossed in a bourbon-forward seasoning with hydrogenated soybean oil and salt.

  • The bourbon seasoning drives it — its alcohol element acts as a DAO blocker, which pushes the dish high on its own.

  • Mushrooms and the oil add to it — the mushrooms sit at moderate and the hydrogenated soybean oil is moderate too, so both keep it up.

For a lower-histamine side, a fresh grilled vegetable without the bourbon seasoning tends to be gentler.
