Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Although I am celebrating my one year anniversary of becoming an official Washingtonian, I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t been as adventurous lately with exploring my city’s food scene. Wanting to break out of my usual routine and comfort zone, I was excited when my mom came to visit recently, because it provided an opportunity to get out and explore. For a year now, I’ve heard absolutely glowing reviews for […]
For my gluten-free, dairy-free review of Leon in the United Kingdom, click here. Eating gluten-free has definitely gotten easier over the years, especially as I live in Washington DC with lots of fast casual and full service restaurant options for gluten-free dining. If there’s one category of restaurant I miss though, it’s fast food. Yeah, it has a bad rap for not being healthy in the least (and very gluten-heavy), but […]
Cooper’s Hawk Restaurant is a chain that I have heard quite a buzz about in the gluten-free world. I’ve read other bloggers’ glowing reviews and have seen positive reports on Find Me Gluten Free, a website and app I use religiously. That being said, I approached this dining experience at Cooper’s Hawk with dread, because I have eaten there once before (years ago) and it was one of the worst dining experiences […]
While visiting Cincinnati over the President’s Day weekend, my grandparents wanted to go out for dinner with my dad and me. After some searching, we decided that Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant in Kenwood would be a good place to go out because they had an expansive gluten-free menu and lots of choices for the gluten, and non-gluten eaters in our party. When I arrived our waiter brought out the restaurant’s […]
As a gluten and dairy-free diner, I meticulously research restaurant options whenever I know I will be dining out. Most of the restaurants I visit are selected from this process, but in the case of Viva Chicken in Charlotte, NC, my decision to dine there was based purely on a whim. I was visiting North Carolina for the holidays, and my mom and I were out running errands after Christmas. We had already […]
From one location in Dartmouth, Massachusetts to over 20 locations today, Not Your Average Joe’s has made a name for itself by focusing on from-scratch cooking and unparalleled service. I’ve heard for awhile that Not Your Average Joe’s had a great gluten-free menu- and even better- a can-do attitude when it comes to dietary restrictions. The restaurant has been on my to-try list for awhile, but their Virginia and Maryland […]

When traveling through the Virginia Peninsula last week, I knew that my mom and I would be passing through the city of Newport News around dinnertime so I did some research to see what would be out best bet for gluten-free eats. Second Street, an American bistro jumped out because they not only had good reviews on Find Me Gluten Free but had a separate gluten-free menu too. After a day of […]
When people ask me for restaurant recommendations in Washington D.C., Busboys and Poets is usually my first suggestion because it has a perfect trifecta of great food, friendly staff, and an great line up of programs that inspire conversation and connection. Although I have frequented Busboys and Poets several times for lunch and dinner, I have yet to visit for brunch, so I was sure to put it at the top […]
This post features menus for Food For Thought. To check out my full review, click here. When I knew I would be traveling from Washington D.C. to Norfolk, Virginia this summer, I was excited to be passing by the historic Revolutionary War-era cities of Williamsburg and Yorktown. Although I couldn’t stop and explore for too long, I did seek out a restaurant to stop for lunch when passing through. Food for […]
