What I love about Orlando is that the city is constantly changing and growing. Especially in the food scene, which has taken great strides in the ten years I’ve lived here, the change is welcome as new restaurants pop up and old favorites expand and grow. Winter Park’s Black Bean Deli is one such restaurant that has benefited from the emerging “foodie” culture as it has expanded from it’s original location to […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Although I am based in Orlando nowadays, I like to spotlight my gluten free finds when I travel out of the Central Florida area. Although they may seem out of the way at times, I believe the more that is written and shared about gluten free restaurants and travel, the more we all benefit. While most of my out-of-town posts are compilations of multiple reviews at once, Giorgio on Pine in […]
When it comes to eating out on a special diet, Dandelion Communitea Cafe is an Orlando gem. Able to accommodate a variety of allergies to wheat, soy, egg, dairy, etc as well as vegetarians, vegans and “flexitarians” alike, I’m hard pressed to think of anyone who couldn’t get a meal here. What I love about this unique cafe is their totally unique setting and attitude and their emphasis on fresh, […]
I’ve been familiar with Larry’s Giant Subs long before gluten intolerance entered my life. Half of my extended family lives up in North Carolina, and no childhood road trip to the “tar heel state” was ever complete without a stop at the Larry’s Giant Subs in Brunswick, GA. As goofy as it sounds, our whole family eagerly awaited and relished every bite. Little did I know that the restaurant would […]
