I was on Parnate for a year and ate out 1-2 times/day every day, and I never had a problem. That includes beer, plenty of parmesan cheese on different kinds of pizza and in Alfredo sauce, and plenty of sauces at restaraunts. I was not overly cautious and I never had a problem.
I think the key is to be aware of the few foods with sky-high tyramine content (yeast extracts, fermented soy products, etc.) and not sweat the rest too much.
I think the dietary restrictions for MAOIs are overblown and should never be an excuse not to try the drugs.
