I’ve always found it odd that California Pizza Kitchen had a gluten-free menu but hadn’t ventured into offering a gluten-free crust..untill now, that is. They recently began offering an extensive list of pizza choices   Read the rest of this entry »

Burger on a Gluten-Free Bun

The Ninety Nine restaurants have started serving  delicious gluten-free buns to accompany their steakburgers. These buns are made from a mix of rice and tapioca flours and are free of dairy (contain eggs, soy and yeast) and are manufactured in a gluten, tree nut and peanut-free facility.

Shopping has just become more enjoyable.  Nordstrom’s  Blue Stove and Cafe Bistro will deliciously and affordably accomodate gluten-free diners! Read the rest of this entry »

Maggiano’s Little Italy will substitute gluten-free pasta for any of their pasta dishes! The exception to this is the lasagna and ravioli.   After speaking with the folks at our location (Boston), I was told that, in addition,  any protein dish (chicken, fish, pork or beef) is available gluten-free too but one must order without the sauce.  Just be sure to tell your server so they can work with you to create a perfect dish.

On a recent visit to The Melting Pot we enjoyed an event held every Monday called  Girls Night Out.  Besides enjoying displays of jewelry and  handbags for sale, and a visit to a Tarot Card reader, we spent a lovely, slow paced and relaxed evening dipping tidbits of food into delicious fondue.  Having heard that the Melting Pot in Littleton, CO, is very accomodating, Read the rest of this entry »

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse  in Boston, Providence, RI and West Hartford, CT  is an allergen-friendly restaurant that even has a food allergy guide  for its guests!  If your dietary needs require you to be gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut and tree nut-free, or avoid MSG, this steakhouse may be able to accomodate your needs.  Many of their regular menu offerings are naturally gluten-free, or can be altered to become so.  If dairy is an issue, entrees can be Read the rest of this entry »

Flourless Chocolate Dome

PF Chang’s China Bistro is very accomodating when it comes to special diets such as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and other food allergy needs. They have a gluten-free menu and upon request can print out a dairy-free one.  Some of the dishes are naturally gluten-free while others must be modified.  This, of course, makes it very important to alert your server or even ask for the manager to be sure you get the correct recipe.  Read the rest of this entry »

At  Five Guys  you won’t find salads or chicken here, just burgers and fries.  All of their menu items are gluten-free with the exception of the hamburger buns.  So you will have to order the burger bunless, but it is good to know that they cook the meat on dedicated grills to decrease the risk of cross-contamination.  The buns are toasted on their own grill. The fries are made on location and have no dairy, wheat or Read the rest of this entry »

     Bar Louie Tavern & Grill  is ideal for the most “Hip & Urban” adults, but at the same time, it is welcoming to families too (they have a kids’ menu).  Though I don’t fit into the first category, I would still like to visit this restaurant to try food from their gluten-free menu.  There is also a helpful allergen information page on the website.  In addition to the eight most common allergens, it also lists MSG and sulfites.  Read the rest of this entry »
