Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
As much as I love turning grocery runs into scavenger hunts, I deeply dislike that I there’s no store where I can get everything I need all in one place. Multiple grocery runs a week is super time consuming, so I decided to give Relay Foods a try. Relay Foods is a regional online grocer that enables customers to virtually shop for food then have it delivered to their doorstep or […]
After a day of Washington D.C. sightseeing while battling chilly, rainy weather, I was not too keen to trek across town for dinner after settling in to my hotel near Dupont Circle. After doing some quick research, I decided to check out Zorba’s Cafe, a neighborhood establishment that I have walked by many times before when visiting D.C. Greek food is comfort food for me, and the close proximity to […]
HipCityVeg is a relatively new arrival on the Washington D.C. restaurant scene, and is notable for its 100% vegan and plant-based menu. Located in the bustling Chinatown neighborhood, HipCityVeg has plenty to offer for gluten-free diners as well as meat-free ones, so don’t let the abundance of tofu scare you away from this health-conscious eatery. Started in Philadelphia, this location is HipCityVeg’s first outside of the Keystone State. It would be easy to toss […]
When I discovered that a new dedicated gluten-free restaurant popped up in the Washington D.C. restaurant scene, it was enough for me to make last minute Labor Day weekend plans to check out the latest addition to the growing number of totally gluten-free foodie destinations in the Nation’s Capitol. Seoul Spice, located mere steps from the NOMA/Gallaudet stop on the Metro red line is the restaurant in question, and goes […]
For anyone who has followed my blog for any length of time, it’s clear that I totally have a soft spot for tacos, and Mexican cuisine in general. While in D.C. before heading back to school in Baltimore, I pinpointed Rosa Mexicano on my must-see list, right up there with the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Air and Space Annex (both must see destinations in the city). Rosa Mexicano is an upscale […]
I’ll start right off the bat and say this review is almost two years overdue. How could I not have visited Washington D.C.’s only dedicated gluten-free bakery before now? Quite honestly I’m still asking myself this question. Rise Bakery opened in November 2014 and has quickly made their name as the go-to gluten-free bakery in the region. While 100% free from gluten, this bakery stocks the delicacies not often seen even […]
As a gluten-free blogger, I am always seeking delicious fare that’s safe, which has brought me from time to time to some pretty funkiest food joints that are as much about good food as they are about establishing a unique vibe and character. Of all the restaurants with character I’ve eaten at, most pale in comparison to Washington D.C.’s Busboys and Poets, an innovative, vibrant multi-location combination bookstore and restaurant that is […]
Since I live only an hour’s train ride away from Washington D.C., I have made it a goal to increase my trips to the District. There’s so much to explore in this quirky city, and the density of gluten-free friendly eateries is fairly unmatched to any other city I have been to (except for maybe New York City). On my latest visit, I stopped for lunch at the Plan B Burger Bar […]
As a gluten and dairy-free blogger, I think of gluten-free expos as fun holidays where I can mingle with brands and fellow gluten-free foodies alike. While industry shows have a lot more going on, local expos are consumer-focused and showcase gluten-free resources in the area. Last week, I attended the Washington, D.C. Gluten-Free Expo, hosted at the DoubleTree in Bethesda, Maryland. The event, now in its sixth year, is sponsored by the […]
After the DC Gluten-Free Expo (recap coming soon), I knew I needed a hearty helping of healthy food to balance the sugary, carb-laded samples I tried at the event. With some time on my hands before catching the train back to Baltimore, I decided to catch the red line to Dupont Circle to pay a visit to Sweetgreen, a restaurant definitely topping my to-try list. Sweetgreen regionally has several locations […]
