La Scala Review

Few people associate Baltimore with Italian food, after all, our city is synonymous with Old Bay seasoning and crabs. However, Baltimore has a small, yet historic Little Italy neighborhood just a few blocks from the Inner Harbor that is home to many authentic Italian restaurants that strive to recreate Old World flavors for modern audiences.  Italian food (well, the American-ized form) is typically not gluten and dairy-free friendly. However, when prepared using fresh […]

Mamak Asian Street Food Review

By far my favorite area of Orlando is the Mills 50 neighborhood, where the restaurants are abundant and tourists are rarely found. The area is a gold mine for top quality (and affordable) eats, and has a wonderful concentration of Asian restaurants representing the diversity of Asian countries.  Ironically, Asian food is really hit or miss for gluten-free eaters. Soy sauce, breadings, and noodles must be navigated around, but as far […]

Encantada Review (American Visionary Art Museum)

For my small plate, I chose the Nashville cauliflower, which was an unexpected hit out of the park for me. The bas were large spicy cauliflower florets that were crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside. Adding a dash of cool creaminess, vegan ranch dressing was drizzled on top, and sweet bread and butter pickles turned this seriously amazing dish into a real showstopper.  Continuing on the cauliflower theme, […]

Snap Kitchen Review (Part 2)

Discovering Snap Kitchen in Philadelphia was definitely the highlight of my trip to the historic city. Snap Kitchen is an Austin, TX export whose first foray into the east cost is Philly, with (hopefully) more locations coming soon to the mid-Atlantic (namely D.C. and/or Baltimore). The concept is simple and truly genius, because Snap Kitchen is a perfect merging of a supermarket and and a restaurant, promising top quality fare […]

Snap Kitchen Review (Part 1)

As a busier than ever college student tackling classwork, internship, and working this summer, my free time has been dramatically reduced, leaving little time to eat out or cook from scratch. Most days, I rely on microwave-friendly fare, which rightly has not earned a reputation for health or taste value.  However, while in Philadelphia, I stumbled across Snap Kitchen, an Austin, TX export that recently set up their first East Coast locale […]

Alexander's Tavern Review

Alexander’s Tavern in Baltimore’s Fell’s Point neighborhood is a restaurant that has been on my radar for awhile for their quite extensive gluten-free menu. After returning from Philadelphia, I suggested the Tavern as an ideal place to grab dinner to enjoy the historic setting and wonderfully pleasant Baltimore summer weather. Fell’s Point is a historic waterfront neighborhood just east of upscale and tourist-ridden Harbor East. It has historic nautical roots and has been a lively Baltimore […]

Alexander's Tavern Gluten-Free Menu

Alexander’s Tavern in Baltimore’s historic Fell’s Point neighborhood is the rare restaurant whose gluten-free menu is as impressive as the non-gluten one. Spanning two pages, and packed with options, it’s easy to find something the whole family will love to eat at  this all-American restaurant.  My full review of Alexander’s Tavern is coming soon (link will be added here when published) but I could not wait to share the amazing menu the […]

Farmer's Keep Review

When I knew I’d be Philadelphia bound this summer, I knew I wanted to make the most of the short time that I would be in the city. For help navigating where I wanted to eat, I turned to my trusty travel companion, Find Me Gluten-Free. From all the options the site had, I narrowed my focus to dedicated gluten-free businesses because there is no beating the peace of mind […]

Jaleo Review

In my last post- I shared the allergen menu from Jaleo, a Jose Andres restaurant with locations in and around Washington D.C. Now, here is my full recap of dinner at this upscale restaurant that takes Spanish tapas to the next level.  Arriving to Bethesda around late afternoon, I dropped my bags at my hotel and ventured right back out a couple blocks to Bethesda Row, a shopping center with […]

Jaleo Gluten-Free and Allergen Menu

After a day in DC, I took the red line Metro to Bethesda to stay overnight for the DC Gluten-Free Expo the following day. There, I stopped at Jaleo in the Bethesda Row shopping complex for a nice dinner. This Jose Andres restaurant (also of Beefsteak and Oyamel fame) like others in the group is really allergen-friendly, and brought out a fully marked menu identifying multiple allergens in every dish. Because […]
