Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
On my final night in London, I knew I wanted to lay low and have a low-key night after nonstop sightseeing for a full week. With an late afternoon flight back home to DC the next day, I wanted to use the evening to pack and get situated to make sure my travel to London Heathrow Airport went as smoothly and stress-free as possible. In looking for soothing, safe places to […]
For gluten-free diners, dedicated gluten-free Italian restaurants are the closest thing we have to the iconic “candy room” scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You mean everything on the menu is safe? Even the pasta and bread? Absolutely. Therefore, any opportunity to visit such a restaurant makes me want to burst out in spontaneous song. In doing my pre-trip homework on eateries I wanted to dine at in […]
Flying back to Orlando briefly for my sister’s graduation, I was looking forward to celebrating after the ceremony at Brio Tuscan Grill. Although I have reviewed many gluten-free friendly Italian restaurants in my years as a food blogger, I have not yet had a chance to dine at this chain. In taking a preliminary glance of Brio’s gluten-free menu, I was excited to see several entree options (including gluten-free pasta). As […]
In Baltimore’s Charles Village/Homewood neighborhood near Johns Hopkins University, there have been many welcome additions on the foodie scene in the recent year: Honeygrow, Bird in Hand (coffeeshop), and now PekoPeko Ramen. As a college student who’s also a foodie, I totally appreciate that these eateries serve great food, have a welcoming vibe, and are affordable for dining out when I want something that’s On a recent blustery, chilly Sunday, […]
This post features menus for Not Your Average Joe’s. To check out my full review, click here. In following other gluten-free bloggers, I have heard incredible things about the restaurant chain Not Your Average Joe’s. In a world where gluten-free dinners are lucky to get a menu with symbols indicating gluten-free fare, Not Your Average Joe’s set out to change the paradigm around gluten-free eating- starting with creating a lengthy […]
There’s so many great places to grab an affordable gluten-free lunch in Washington D.C. that it’s totally an embarrassment of riches. The only downside is that most lunch places open up around the lunch hour. While this makes logical sense, I like being able to pick something up on my way into work so that I can have food on hand if my coworkers want to go out to a non-gluten-friendly place […]
Because I had a large salad for lunch, I decided I was only ordering a pasta because I didn’t want to carry a whole other meal on the train back to Baltimore with me if I had ordered a side dish as well. Although Carmine’s serves family-style, I was dining solo, so I ordered a “lunch” portion of my pasta of choice, which could have easily served 2 people. The full-size […]
Image Source When it comes to family-style Italian dining, Carmine’s has certainly made a name for itself as a foodie destination. With locations in New York City, DC, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas, the chain is located at tourist hot spots around the country. What’s great about Carmine’s is that they have something for everyone- including people with restricted diets and food allergies. Everyone can find something to eat, and the whole party can partake […]
As a gluten-free eater, I am used to constant vigilance. I play 20 questions at every restaurant I visit and often feel more skeptical than comfortable with the answers kitchen staff provide. I am used to navigating around typical gluten-free problem zones: shared pasta water, utensils, and free-flying flour. Italian food is the arch-nemesis of any gluten-free eater because it’s basics- pasta, bread, and pizza- are all traditionally flour-based. As a dairy-free diner, I find it […]
In passing through Norfolk, Virginia last week, I sought out a restaurant that had lots of gluten and dairy-free options and high recommendations on Find Me Gluten Free. After searching through the results, Baker’s Crust stood out with both rave reviews and many options. Baker’s Crust seems to be a counterintuitive name for a gluten-free friendly restaurant, but if you look beyond the name, their options for gluten-free dining are pretty […]
