That Deli Review
Yes, you read my title correctly- the restaurant I’m about to review is really called “That Deli.” As confusing as it may sound for a name, it’s one that’s hard to forget, which is probably a good thing. That Deli tops the list of Central Florida’s best kept secrets in my opinion. A little off the beaten track, it’s totally worth the drive for the real, fresh food you just […]
Side Trip: Taffets Bakery and Bread Review (Philadelphia)
Located in Philadelphia’s Italian market, Taffets Bakery is quite simply heaven on Earth for those seeking gluten-free bread. Even for those who can eat wheat without trouble, I highly recommend this wonderful treat of a bakery whose breads are hands down the best I’ve ever had since going gluten-free. What’s so great about Taffets is that they are 100% dedicated to the gluten-free community and their handcrafted baked goods are rarities in […]
Uno Chicago Grill Review
Uno Chicago Grill is widely-renowned for their legendary role as the creators of deep dish (Chicago-style) pizza. Founded in 1943 in Chicago, Uno’s has since expanded into 140 locations in 24 states, DC, and around the world. While they haven’t quite figured out how to bring deep dish pies to a gluten-free audience, they earn points in my book for offering an expansive gluten free menu that encompasses a wide […]
Lotus Foods Rice Ramen Soup Review
As a soon-to-be “poor college student” I have come to realize that my days with little luxuries such as an elaborate home-cooked meal are now numbered. While I have high hopes that I’ll be able to work things out with the dining staff at my new school, I know that there will definitely be times when I need a quick and easy meal. For most teens, the obvious quick fix […]

Seasons 52 Review
Founded in Orlando, Seasons 52 is a restaurant that delivers fresh fare in a great setting. It has been a longtime favorite of my family’s for any special occasion- birthdays, graduations, or when company is in town. A dinner or lunch at Seasons 52 means we are celebrating something, which makes eating here such a treat. However, what makes eating here such a treat is that they really take the […]
Sweet Note Bakery Bagels Review
Like most who are gluten-free, we look upon the glutenous foods we once ate as poison to our bodies now. We know better than to sneak the smallest crumb, but there come occasions when the fantasy of “how it used to be” creep back in. For me, one weakness I have always had in the bread department is bagels. While trying many different flavors and brands of gluten-free bagels, I […]
Tuscan Pizza Review
Tuscan Pizza (formerly Red Brick Pizza) in Altamonte Springs is home to a very special milestone in my gluten-free journey. They were the first restaurant where I was able to order and eat a gluten-free pizza alongside my family. For most newcomers to the diet, building up the confidence to visit a restaurant and trust that the food is safe to eat is a big hurdle, but one that I’m […]
Side Trip: Sweet Freedom Bakery, Schmear It, and Reading Terminal Market (Philadelphia)
Although I was in Philadelphia all of about 48 hours, I made a point of maximizing my time in the “city of brotherly love.” Which, as became quite evident though my adventures, really should be called the “city of gluten free love.” The sheer abundance and availability of gluten free options was overwhelming at first. Although there are a plethora of gluten free friendly restaurants in Orlando, its a little […]
