Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Despite the abundance of gluten-free breads out there lining grocery store freezers, most are barely palatable imitations of the breads we all knew and loved before gluten decided to break up with our bodies. Some are holey, some are tiny, and some are just too darn expensive to try. I’m thankful I’ve found several brands I can get behind both for their amazing products and their guiding philosophies. Canyon Bakehouse is […]

When it comes to chain restaurants, the big fast food joints are completely inaccessible for people with food allergies or celiac. However, an exception to this rule can be made for Chipotle Mexican Grill, who deftly proved that grab-n-go fare can and should be held to a higher standard. Revolutionizing the concept of fast-food, Chipotle has enjoyed unprecedented growth and has managed to uphold their commitment to quality, fresh food at a […]
Expecting a fifteen hour road trip door-to-door from Maryland to Florida to head home for the summer, my dad and I set off not planning to make many stops. After all, there’s not an abundance of gluten-free friendly options along I-95. After starting out strong, I requested a stop in Richmond, VA after several hours of traffic coming out of Washington, D.C. put us back, forcing us to skip lunch […]
PF Chang’s is one of the few major chain restaurants with a great gluten-free reputation that I have not been to. With no time like the present, I maximized my next to last day in Maryland until next August by paying my local PF Chang’s a visit for lunch with mom to break up a long, hard day of sorting, packing, and final exams. Described as a “China bistro,” the […]

The wonderful thing about emerging from a difficult winter is that spring brings stunning renewal of nature, wonderful weather, and farmers’ markets. In search of a fun outing during my last weekend on campus, I decided to venture to the 32nd St. Farmer’s Market, which is near Baltimore’s Charles Village. Arriving shortly after the market opened for the day, I found the self-contained parking lot laden with vendors of all […]
Despite the abundance of gluten-free breads out there from large companies, I love the feeling of discovery when I find a locally made bread from a small company. These small bakeries are often supported by other small businesses, which creates an awesome chain of supporting the community by the simple act of buying a loaf of bread. One such small business ripple effect starts here in Baltimore with Eddie’s Market. […]
Please note that Good Life Smoothie Bar has now closed. While in Annapolis, in between duel visits to Amsterdam Falafelshop, the summer-like heat of the day lead me to crave something cold and sweet. Knowing the risk of cross contamination of both gluten and dairy at several chain smoothie and coffee shops, I decided to indulge in a freshly made smoothie at Good Life Smoothie Bar, a neighbor to the falafel […]
Amsterdam Falafelshop has closed their Annapolis location. They still operate restaurants in DC. Annapolis is a beautiful, quaint bayside city that is the seat of Maryland’s government and the perfect distance away from Baltimore for a nice weekend trip. In town for a special event, I made sure to take advantage of a whole day in town to check out the sights and tastes of the city. What’s cool about […]
