Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
The next item I ordered was the pretzel brittle, which consisted of pretzel pieces coated in a decadent, sticky, sweet caramel. So often dairy-laden, it was a treat to be able to enjoy the crunchy brittle, but my enjoyment was tampered by bits of the box sticking to the brittle. I don’t want to eat paper, so I had to painstakingly cut away contaminated sections and throw out a decent […]
On my last D.C. trip of 2016, I had less than 24 hours to check out new restaurants or visit old favorites. I decided to use the time to trek up to Bethesda (via the red line Metro) to finally pay a visit to a gluten-free friendly restaurant that I have only heard good things about for years. A little off the beaten path (especially on foot), Lilit Cafe proved […]
Although this is not the case everywhere, December is certainly not prime smoothie-drinking weather here in Maryland. This time of year we tend to go for hot drinks and foods over frozen concoctions. However, upon hearing that Towson’s latest gluten-free friendly restaurant was Pure Raw Juice, a 100% organic and raw juice and smoothie bar, I did not let the season- nor freezing temperatures- deter me from checking out the newcomer […]
It’s been a really, really long time since I last sought out Thai Food. Maybe it’s because there are no good options in my neighborhood in Baltimore, maybe it’s because I’ve been sidetracked exploring other food genres. Either way, my visit to L’Thai Organic Cuisine just outside of Atlanta proved to be the perfect opportunity to reunite with one of my favorite comfort food dishes- green curry. Long overdue for a […]
Click here to read my updated review of True Food Kitchen’s Chevy Chase, MD location from January 2020. After spending some time in North Carolina over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I found myself in Atlanta a day before flying back home. With a little time to explore, I decided to check out True Food Kitchen at the Lennox Mall. The restaurant is a chain that promotes real, good food as a way […]
I’ve been to Washington D.C. enough times now that I now have to debate whether to visit beloved restaurants I have already been to or check out new ones. On my latest excursion, I decided to do the latter and check out as many new places as I could in my short time in the city. Making the list for places I wanted to check out was The Protein Bar, […]
November is a little bit past prime smoothie season here in the Mid Atlantic, but I wasn’t about to let chilly temperatures stop me from checking out a 100% organic plant-based cafe in Washington D.C. that puts juices, smoothies, and blended bowls front and center on their menu. Being 100% plant-based means that there are not animal products used (meat, eggs, milk, etc.) and that everything is vegan. Fruitive is not […]
Tamales hold a special place in my foodie heart because they are naturally gluten-free and are endlessly versatile in regards to toppings. Last month at the Natural Products Expo East, I discovered the Tucson Tamale company, whose diverse line of tamales are all gluten-free. Unfortunately, only one tamale they were sampling was both gluten and dairy-free (the blue corn and veggie) at the show. When Tucson Tamale Company reached out offering to send me a wider […]
