Help
We are staying tonight at Homewood Suites outside Albany NY; a Hilton property. I made the reservation online and in the comment box asked if their famed breakfast buffet ever included gluten-free items (we once stayed at a hotel that did, so now I ask) . This morning, the kitchen manager called and asked did my celiacs have any preference as to flavor of pastry or donuts, they were making a trip to the local health food store to pick up some gluten free items for us! How cool is that! I will let you all know how it goes...

Well, that was wonderful! We went down to breakfast and I asked at the desk, who sent me to the manager (turned out he helps with the breakfast every day). They had plated and covered a set of blueberry muffins and cinnamon scones (which were HUGE), offered a take-out box for what wasn't eaten. It was great -- I only wished they had saved the wrapper so I could assure my son they were really gluten-free! They went out the night before to a gluten-free bakery in a nearby town off Rt. 7. Yay!! Success!!
