Orlando Gluten-free Food Truck Adventures (Featuring Wako Taco and Sweet City Gelato)

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 […]

Saffron Road Lemongrass Basil Chicken Review

Though I’m making the most of my time left here in Central Florida, I’m all too aware that pretty soon I’ll be in a new locale with new food options and limited opportunities to eat out. I’ve already been working with dining services at my new school regarding my dietary needs, but know that sometimes a trip to the dining hall will not be in the cards. This summer, I’ve […]

Sanaa Review

What’s so great and frustrating about food blogging is that the more I venture out and try new restaurants and cuisine styles, the more restaurants I put on my “to-do list” to review. As they stack up, it’s hard to sort out which ones to go to first and which ones to put on the waiting list. After all, I am on a budget and can’t eat out each and […]

Sanaa Gluten-free and Dairy-free Menus

Note: Since my last visit to Sanaa, new top eight allergen free menus have been released at Sanaa, and these menus have replaced the menus shown here. Please consult those for the most up-to-date allergen information. This post is dedicated to my pictures of Sanaa’s dedicated gluten and dairy free menus. While I wanted to include them with my full review in the spirit of sharing information, I didn’t want […]

Namaste Gluten Free Pizza Crust Review

When it comes to pizza, I’m pretty picky. While it would take a lot for me to ever turn down a gluten-free pizza (except cross-contamination), I’ve had more than one disappointing subpar pie during my tenure as a gluten free diner. Though I would love to be able to go to my favorite pizza chains whenever I’m craving this all-American fare, the inconvenient truth about gluten-free pizza is that it’s […]

The Tap Room at Dubsdread Review

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 […]

Toasted Restaurant Review and Gluten-free Meetup Recap

Toasted, as its name might suggest, specializes in grilled cheese and burgers prepared perfectly and are easily adapted to accommodate special diets. While their duel menu categories are deceptively simple, their offerings are far from the traditional grilled cheese or hamburger you’re used to or have grown up with. Though Toasted has been on my “to-do” list for a while now, I finally had the opportunity to check them out thanks to […]

Magnolia Square Market Review

While in town for lunch at Hollerbach’s Willow Tree Cafe, Jennifer and I knew we had to stop by their sister shop Hollerbach’s Magnolia Square Market when our waitress mentioned their supply of gluten-free goods. Located literally right around the corner, Magnolia Square Market stocks imported German products, specialty items, deli specialties and a range of freshly baked goods. Upon first entering, the small market can be hard to navigate […]

Hollerbach's Willow Tree Cafe Review

German food is a culinary landscape I must admit that I know little about. While other ethnic foods and I have become acquainted over the years, Germany’s hearty cuisine has remained somewhat of a mystery to me. My only frame of reference on the culture and cuisine comes from my family’s annual attendance of Cincinnati’s Oktoberfest, one of the biggest celebrations in the country which I fondly remember for huge soft pretzels, […]

Trader Joe's Gluten Free French Rolls and English Muffins Review

There’s a brand new attraction here in town, but it’s not a roller-coaster or theme park ride. No, the latest attention-grabber to pop up is Trader Joe’s- the wildly popular and quirky grocery chain that has a cult-like following among it’s many fans. Though I have yet to brave the crowds to visit Winter Park’s newest resident, I was able to hit their Towson store while I was in Maryland […]
