Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
As a gluten and dairy-free blogger, one of the perks of my job is having the opportunity to sample new-to-me products and discover new companies. Recently, Simple Kneads extended an offer for me to try their gluten-free breads, and given the opportunity to taste test sourdough-type breads I couldn’t say no. Simple Kneads was founded in one father’s pursuit of delicious gluten-free bread for his son. Finding only subpar options at […]
When traveling through the Virginia Peninsula last week, I knew that my mom and I would be passing through the city of Newport News around dinnertime so I did some research to see what would be out best bet for gluten-free eats. Second Street, an American bistro jumped out because they not only had good reviews on Find Me Gluten Free but had a separate gluten-free menu too. After a day of […]
When people ask me for restaurant recommendations in Washington D.C., Busboys and Poets is usually my first suggestion because it has a perfect trifecta of great food, friendly staff, and an great line up of programs that inspire conversation and connection. Although I have frequented Busboys and Poets several times for lunch and dinner, I have yet to visit for brunch, so I was sure to put it at the top […]
After a successful visit to Veloce, a fast casual pizza place in Farragut Square neighborhood (see my review), I knew a visit to Pizzeria Paradiso was in order to try out their original pizzeria concept. One unique thing about Pizzeria Paradiso is that they place the emphasis on perfecting their pizza crust. As a gluten-free diner, I’m used to soggy, sad, and altogether subpar crusts, so I definitely had some […]

When I knew I would be traveling from Washington D.C. to Norfolk, Virginia this summer, I was excited to be passing by the historic Revolutionary War-era cities of Williamsburg and Yorktown. Although I couldn’t stop and explore for too long, I did seek out a restaurant to stop for lunch when passing through. Food for […]
Barbecue can be difficult to navigate for people with food allergies. With sauces, rubs, spices, and meats that are all at risk for hidden gluten (or other allergens), I have had limited luck in finding safe BBQ. When walking around Penn Quarter, Hill Country Barbecue Market caught my eye because they always seem to be busy. I did some research, which suggested that they were pretty gluten-free friendly, so decided to […]
This post features menus for Hill Country Barbecue Market. To check out my full review, click here. This post features th Barbecue can be hit or miss for those of us with dietary restrictions. With hidden ingredients in meats and sauces, plus an emphasis on cornbread and other glutenous sides, I’ve had limited success in finding safe BBQ to try. When walking up the restaurant-dense 7th St corridor in D.C. one […]
Although I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, there are times when I don’t always eat as many nutrient-rich foods as I could. That’s why I am a big fan of smoothie/acai bowls, which pack nutrition into every spoonful. Jrink is a juice shop here in Washington D.C. that has several locations around the city. I’ve passed by their locations before but for one reason or another did not stop in […]
For a city with such a rich and diverse array of culinary options, there’s are surprisingly few dedicated gluten-free bakeries here in Washington D.C. I know several popular bakeries around town offer gluten-free options, but cross contamination concerns and finding gluten and dairy-free options has made me steer clear of those popular places. While enjoying brunch on the busy 7th St restaurant-dense corridor last weekend though, I decided to pop […]
Although I consider myself to be pretty adventurous food-wise, I am ashamed to admit that I have a limited experience with Korean fare. In doing research to find new foodie spots to try, I stumbled across Mandu, a homestyle Korean restaurant that promised many gluten-free options. With many positive reviews and online menus indicating gluten-free awareness, Mandu has been on my list of places to try soon. Located in the […]
