Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
While I started this blog as a quest to find and report the best gluten-free eats wherever I live or travel, it’s really a documentation of my endless love affair with tacos. It’s hard for me to ever turn a taco down, and I love that they are naturally gluten-free. Over the years I have found some pretty showstopping tacos, but that never deters me from the quest to keep seeking […]
When people ask me for recommendations for gluten-free friendly eateries in Washington, DC my advice is simple: you can’t go wrong with a José Andrés restaurant! As a city, we are lucky to be home to several of his inspired culinary concepts, including China Chilcano, Jaleo, Beefsteak, and Oyamel (can you tell I’m a fan?!), which present globally-inspired flavors in a fun and whimsical way. His latest concept- Butterfly- is taking a […]
Ever walk by a restaurant that looks interesting but dismiss it out of hand because you assume they don’t have gluten-free options? I did. Working in the Penn Quarter neighborhood, the brightly colored storefront of Merzi Fresh Indian Kitchen caught my eye every time I came and went from work. With no menu markings, I assumed (incorrectly as I discovered) that nothing was safe. However, when looking for a place […]
When it comes to pizza options in Washington D.C., it’s hard not to miss &Pizza, the District’s homegrown and hip fast-casual pizza chain. Self-described as the “anti-establishment establishment,” &Pizza is built around a core value of creativity, and caters each store to reflect the ethos and individuality of their surrounding neighborhood. In the same way, &Pizza’s creations are as unique as the customer ordering them, because one can choose the […]
Update 4/18/2: Since my initial review, Bibibop Asian Grill has gone 100% gluten-free. Stay tuned for an updated review coming soon! More info about the menu changes can be found here. Although I am by no means a big fan of sports, there’s something about the Olympic Games that gets me really excited every two years. This year, the Winter Games are taking place in the South Korean city of […]
Subs. Hoagies. Heros. Submarine sandwich. Whatever you call them, they’re really hard to find gluten-free options at sub shops, much less find one that knows how to prepare them safely (shared knives and counters are a cross contamination danger zone!). In my six years of going gluten-free, I have never found a place where I could walk in and order a sub and reclaim the normal experience I so enjoyed […]
Image credit: Fruitive Of all the smoothie/acai bowl places I have found in Washington DC, Fruitive holds a special place in my heart because they have a 100% plant-based menu and their smoothie bowls (my review) are always swoon-worthy. Staying overnight in Washington DC one weekend, I woke up wanting to find some place to find “breakfast” food. Usually I opt for a piece of fruit and a protein bar […]
If there’s one thing the world needs more of, it’s smoothie shops that use real ingredients. As a busy college student, smoothies are an essential part of my diet, as they enable me to consume much needed nutrients quickly and in a delicious fashion. When the New York City-based smoothie chain Juice Press announced that they were opening a store in DC’s Union Station, I jumped for joy because I […]
As a gluten-free eater, tacos are one of my favorite genres of food because they are so easily adapted to be gluten and dairy-free. When I heard a new all-veggie-centric taco joint was coming to Washington DC’s Brookland neighborhood, I immediately bumped it to the top of my never-ending list new restaurants to try. Fox Loves Taco is this decidedly hip taqueria. Open from the early hours of the morning […]
I don’t eat as much pizza as I used to when I first started this blog. I blame some stellar gluten-free pizza experiences for this because once you’ve had a good gluten-free pizza, it’s hard to settle for an often overpriced, cardboard-tasting pathetic pizza. After hearing positive reviews about Washington D.C.’s Pi Pizzeria, I decided to pay them a visit, lured by the promise of delicious pizza prepared safely. Even […]
