Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Francesco’s Ristorante and Pizzeria in Maitland has been on my gluten-free restaurant wish list for a while now. Located in Maitland, I’ve passed by it many times always vowing to return to try out their offerings, but never actually making a stop. However, when dinner plans with friends hit a snag at a different restaurant, I jumped at the opportunity to finally try them and suggested it as our new […]
With all the new attractions and buildings going up in and around Central Florida, it’s quite easy to forget that our state has a history that goes back 500 years and beyond. Before we became “the happiest place on Earth” our state had its rustic roots in the cattle and citrus industries. Visiting the Old Spanish Sugar Mill locating within De Leon State Park is a unique way to step […]
Update: Kouzzina is now officially closed. I must admit that I had some pretty high expectations when selecting Cat Cora’s Kouzzina as the place to celebrate the completion of my high school career. Nestled into the quaint and picturesque Disney’s BoardWalk area, I found about the restaurant from the rave reviews written by Alexis and Sarah from the blogs Gluten Free in Orlando and Gluten Free and Dairy Free in Walt Disney World respectively. The number […]
Summer seems to be made for food trucks. These portable cafes on wheels can set up shop seemingly anywhere have the unique ability to turn an ordinary block into a full-out party in the street. After discovering the magic of food trucks in Philly a couple months ago, I have been yearning to check out the Central Florida food truck scene which is quite varied and active. As it has […]
Promising to be a place “where old world taste and good friends meet,” Chianti’s Pizza and Pasta in Sanford enticed me in with their gluten-free offerings including pizza and pasta. Finding myself in their neck of the woods last, week, I decided to stop by to check out their offerings in person and to pick up dinner to-go. Once stepping inside, I was blown away by the transformation from a […]
When starting out on the adventure that has become Eating Out Without, I looked up to fellow Central Florida bloggers for inspiration as role models in our city’s growing gluten-free movement. Their words and discoveries encouraged me to step up to the plate to add my own voice to the mix. One such blogger, Jennifer from Celiac in Orlando, was one who has supported me from day one and helped […]
If I have one weakness as a restaurant reviewer, it’s that I cannot pass up gluten-free pizza if it’s on the menu. In frequenting countless restaurants that serve gluten-free pizza as well as pasta, I have yet to go for the noodle option. Oddly enough, pizza was not my favorite food at all before going gluten-free so I’m not quite sure where my devotion comes from. All I know is […]
Whoopie Pies are a phenomenon I failed to partake in before going gluten free. Growing up in the South and Midwest, I had never really seen the dessert until I toured the northeastern part of the country on a college tour. Now unable to eat the wheat and cream versions beckoning from pastry counters, I figured that the cookie sandwiches would be something I would have to leave behind. As […]
In my pre gluten-free days, Bob Marley: A Tribute To Freedom was one of my family’s favorite places inside Universal’s CityWalk. Designed as a replica of his Jamaican home, it’s easy to get immersed into the laid back vibe of the “King of Reggae” and the country he loved so dearly thanks to it’s seclusion from the busier sections of CityWalk and authenticity that includes a pulsing beat of reggae, […]
As a born and bred Floridian, I take pride in my wacky state of residence and defend it against the countless jokes and obnoxious questions people have about the sunshine state (no, most of us don’t go to Disney every day and yes, we do feel bad when the rest of the country is covered in snow). Though it may seem stereotypical, I do think at some level Jimmy Buffett’s […]
