I have found a good list of restaurants in the Madison area but can anyone tell me if any of them are off Interstate 90? We will just be passing through on our way to Illinois and it seems like this is a good place to stop for lunch.

Here are some of the suggestions:

My Triumph dining guide lists:

Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano

Bunky's Cafe

Chautara

Chin's Asia Fresh

Firefly

FlatTop Frill

Fleming's Steakhouse

Fyfe's Corner Bistro

Great Dane

Hong Kong Cafe West

L'Etoile Restaurant

Nitty Gritty

Noodles & Company

Otto's Restaurant & Bar

Outback Steakhouse

Restaurant Magnus

Rice Cafe

Silly Yak Bakery and Bread Barn (OK -- not a restaurant, but I would try to get there!)

Uno Chicago Grill

Boy, I'm on the west side so can't help too much off 90, which runs N/S down the east side. Most of these I know to be on the west side or downtown, so not so easy on/off venture. I'd keep your eye out for, or research ahead, the chains like Outback for that stretch. Maybe someone closer will know more. Maybe a Noodles or an Uno, but I think lots of these restaurants are pretty far off your path. Possibly a Great Dane. Might find a P.F. Chang's over there? L'Etoille is very $$$$. Famous. I'd love to go some day, but it's really for taking your time at, downtown on the square. A special occasion type place. I'm curious where you're coming from?

We are coming from Minneapolis and travel to Illinois and Indiana fairly regularly so I'd love to get some regular places to stop. This is our first trip since dx in March.

I think your best bet would be Bunky's. It is a cute and fun place and they are so nice there.

From I-90:

exit Rt12/18 west then,

exit onto Monoma Dr.

then just keep going on Monona... it turns into Atwood(?), I think. You'll pass the bontanic gardens on your right then the road will bend off to the left and you'll be in an older part of town. Look for Bunky's on the left. They have a little parking lot there, too.

Here is the Bunky's wesite that includes a map:

Have Fun,

That is perfect, thanks. It looks likes it not too far out of our way and could be a fun tradition.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications.

No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).
