Stopping by the Three Broomsticks on my way from London’s Diagon Alley to Hogsmeade village and Hogwarts, I knew I had to stop by the Three Broomsticks for a bit of refreshment after the long train ride. For those of you you who have no clue what I’m talking about, stick with me. The Three Broomsticks is a restaurant/pub featured in Harry Potter’s Wizarding World that was brought to life […]
Having previously stopped for lunch at Diagon Alley’s Leaky Cauldron, I knew that one of the top spots on my “to-do” list for future visits was a meal at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, the little village nearby Hogwarts that (in the muggle world) is located in Universal’s Islands of Adventure park. I have eaten a meal at the Three Broomsticks once before as a gluten/dairy eater and have stopped […]
When it (magically) appeared at our table, the runner announced my meal as the “allergy” chicken sandwich. I liked that they did this as double confirmation that my meal was prepared separately. I initially thought I had received salmon on my sandwich due to the dining room’s diminished lighting, but realized that the chicken was just thinly sliced and grilled. The bun appeared to be an Udi’s bun, but I cannot say […]
On the coldest day of 2015 (so far) in the sunshine state, there’s only one way to remedy the chill in the air: a nice steaming bowl of Vietnamese pho. After discovering the magic of pho in Orlando’s heavily Asian Mills 50 District, I was determined to make a return visit to scope out more gluten-free options. With my mom and a neighborhood friend in tow, we set our sights […]
After finishing my list of my top 10 picks of gluten-free friendly restaurants, cafes, and bakeries in Baltimore, I knew the next task at hand would be to construct a parallel list for Orlando. A much taller order due to the sheer variety and number of establishments I’ve reviewed in my nine months of blogging, I now present this list of my personal picks for 2014 with pride. The restaurants, […]
Coming off of a finals week buoyed by Thai food and pho, my taste for Asian cuisine was not extinguished upon returning home. After the wave of energy and emotion that is Christmas crashed after a whirlwind day, my mom and wanted to get out of the house on Boxing Day but were not ready to battle the madness of big shopping centers or the more tourist-y areas of town. After […]
9. Phillips Seafood When in Maryland, there are two local tastes that cannot be avoided- Old Bay seasoning and crab. While not a big seafood person, my first night as a Marylander called for a celebratory dinner at one of the Inner Harbor’s flagship restaurants- Phillips Seafood. I was treated to a true Chesapeake Bay feast starring gluten and dairy free crab cakes. This is definitely a good stop to […]
Whether its the cold weather, holiday spirit, or single digit day countdown to winter break, it’s getting downright difficult to face the monotony of the dining hall. Don’t get me wrong- my college has been pretty accommodating, but after my Thanksgiving break allowed me to rediscover the deliciousness of home cooking, it’s hard to face the less-than-homemade quality of buffet lines. Taking advantage of a lighter day due to a […]
After three months away from the sunshine state, I have long awaited my Thanksgiving return for a chance to enjoy home cooked meals and taste a new restaurant or two. It’s amazing how refreshing a break from dining hall fare can be for this foodie freshman. Although I’ve been able to sneak of campus here and there, a recent string of papers, essays, and exams- in addition to cold weather- […]
When it comes to collegiate dining, the name of the game is quick and easy eats. One only has to look at my main dining hall to see that one of the most popular stations are the ones with comforting classics such as pizza, grilled cheese, chicken tenders, hamburgers and hot dogs. Not normally a fan of these greasy, gluten-laden offerings, there are some days when I wish I could […]
