"who's Wedding Is It Anyway / The Knot"
Posted by Teri Kiefer, Oct 22 2009, 04:23 PMI was watching "Who's Wedding is it…surprise wedding" and was very surprised and disappointed at the adice given from Carley, from The Knot. Her thoughts were you would be a “bad guest” if you requested a Gluten Free meal. She recommended to just order "fish or chicken and RSVP." I feel I have to share this, and I understand that "just ordering chicken or fish" is not always an option. There are spices and cross-contamination that needs to be considered. I agree that it is hard to accommodate all of your guests when getting married. But, the advice could have been to can contact the venue itself...and there are usually no problems or extra cost. Don't let yourself not attend a special event due to our diet. I know from experience.
Steve's Pizza

I just have to share; Steve's Pizza is now making Gluten Free PIZZA!!!! I had it last night for dinner, from the El Dorado Restaurant, and it was the BEST pizza I have ever had!!! Even my hubby (who does not have Celiac) ate it and he said it tasted like "normal" pizza!
Right now they only offer a Medium ( 12" ) size Gluten Free Pizza. But they are hoping to expand their sizes into the 8", 10", and 16" in the future. AND in the coming months they will be adding additional Gluten Free products, such as Desserts and Beer to their units!!! Can you even imagine? PIZZA AND BEER!!!! I am SO excited!
My favorite part of my experience; it was nice to not have to worry about cross contamination. They have their Gluten Free dough shipped in from Connecticut and they are produced with their own pans.
Everyone there was so nice and understanding. I had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be making Steve’s Pizza my favorite place to eat!
