Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
After having so much fun at my first Food Truck Bazaar in Sanford last month, I knew I couldn’t stay away from these travelling culinary events for long. After all, being around so many different types of trucks and people made for a fun outing. Wanting to discover more gluten and dairy friendly food trucks, I did some more digging around and question asking to determine what my next food […]
When it comes to restaurants that have stood the test of time and are perennial local favorites, The Tap Room at Dubsdread in the Orlando’s College Park area comes to mind as it is routinely awarded honors for its cuisine and hospitality. Having never visited before, I was excited to finally have an opportunity to have a lunch on the restaurant’s patio area. Overlooking the golf course’s first tee, the view is […]
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 […]
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 […]
My first reaction upon entering into Raphsodic Bakery was one of incredulity. How could I have lived in Central Florida for so long and never paid them a visit? After all, this cozy bakery serves up a dizzying array of gluten free options ranging from cupcakes and cookies to more hard-to-find creations such as scones and cinnamon buns. What’s great about Raphsodic is that all of their treats are 100% vegan which means that I […]
Located in the Universal Orlando’s Royal Pacific Resort, Emeril’s Tchoup Chop is a perfect restaurant to explore a varied menu of Polynesian-style food and escape from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. I have been looking forward to trying the restaurant for a while and could not wait when my mom selected it for Mother’s Day lunch. Having never before eaten at one of Universal’s resorts, I must admit […]
What I love about Orlando is that the city is constantly changing and growing. Especially in the food scene, which has taken great strides in the ten years I’ve lived here, the change is welcome as new restaurants pop up and old favorites expand and grow. Winter Park’s Black Bean Deli is one such restaurant that has benefited from the emerging “foodie” culture as it has expanded from it’s original location to […]
When it comes to eating out on a special diet, Dandelion Communitea Cafe is an Orlando gem. Able to accommodate a variety of allergies to wheat, soy, egg, dairy, etc as well as vegetarians, vegans and “flexitarians” alike, I’m hard pressed to think of anyone who couldn’t get a meal here. What I love about this unique cafe is their totally unique setting and attitude and their emphasis on fresh, […]
After a fantastic Blogger U session at the Gluten-Free Living Conference (you can read my recap here), I couldn’t wait to come the following day to explore more of what the conference had to offer. The weekend kicked the conference into full gear with guest speakers, special events, and a vendor expo. I ended up spending the entire day Saturday at the expo. Although I had every intention to drop into […]
