Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Ever since Raphsodic Bakery closed, Orlando has been lacking a local (non-chain) bakery. I’m always on the hunt for gluten and dairy-free fare, so when I began to hear buzz about Sweet Utopian, a gluten-free and vegan nut “mylk” purveyor and bakery, I knew I had to check them out. Sweet Utopian was founded with a simple mission- producing quality goods with real ingredients. In the words of A.B., the owner, […]
Image Source In the final stretch of my winter break from college, I traded the warm weather of Florida for the more seasonably appropriate weather of North Carolina so I could visit my aunt and uncle. In driving the distance between the two localities, Savannah, Georgia proved to be the best place to find many gluten-free options for lunch. After comparing several options, I decided upon Goose Feathers Cafe because they offered something […]
Before diving into the gluten and dairy-free options to be had at Wahlburgers, a newcomer to the Orlando “premium burger scene,” I’ll admit that I have very minimal knowledge about who the Wahlburgs are and what they’ve done in the entertainment world. With the help of my good friend Google, here’s some context: Wahlburgers was founded by Paul Walhberg, the chef among the Wahlburg brothers (Mark and Donnie). The creation of […]
I have been on a smoothie kick of late, as I have visited many new-to-me smoothie shops in recent weeks. Although it’s currently winter, I don’t really let cold temperatures deter me from seeking these nutrient-dense blended beverages. While in visiting Orlando I made a point to check out The Smoothie Room because unlike major chains, they do not add sweeteners, syrups, or sugars to their smoothies. While smoothies are […]
When people ask me about the east place to find gluten-free and dairy-free eats in Orlando, I always send them first to Dandelion Communitea Cafe. Located in quirky and small-business-rich Mills 50 district, Dandelion has been purveying allergen-friendly fare long before it was “cool.” With plenty of plant-based eats, a dazzling array of teas on tap, and a great vibe derived from their friendly staff and art-filled interior, it’s impossible to not […]
I am a frequent traveller, and pass through the Orlando airport several times a year, as my family lives in Central Florida. Although I rarely stop to take stock of dining options in the airport and bring my own stash of food instead, it is helpful to know what’s at the airport so in the event of flight delays or other circumstances (forgetting your safe food- I’ve done that several […]
The last of my reviews from my recent visit to Cincinnati is Dewey’s Pizza, a regional chain pizza company that has gluten-free offerings. Pizza is among the trickiest of foods to navigate when dining out gluten-free because there are so many moving parts. From the oven, to the utensils (pizza cutter, sauce ladle), to the free-flying flour in the kitchen, so few restaurants understand the nuance and importance of doing […]
While in Cincinnati next week, my parents wanted to meet up with former friends who lived in our old hometown near Dayton. As a good halfway point, we decided to meet in West Chester, Ohio, and I went to work researching places to eat at. After considering chain restaurants I have been to before, I decided to try Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern after seeing their many gluten-free options. Bagger Dave’s is a […]
The dawning of a new year is a time when most people take stock of their health habits and refocus on how to make the new year happier and healthier. As 2016 was coming to a close, Tropical Smoothie Cafe reached out to me and offered to team up for a fun giveaway to kick off 2017. I needed no persuasion to accept the offer, as Tropical Smoothie Cafe is my favorite of […]
In the holiday week between Christmas and New Year, I was able to return to Cincinnati, Ohio to celebrate the end of the year with my family. I visited Cincinnati earlier this year and really enjoyed exploring their foodie offerings. On this return visit, I couldn’t wait to continue exploring. On the recommendation of my cousin and sister, we decided to go out for breakfast one morning at Sleepy Bee […]
