Chuy's

A new Chuy's opened in my town last week. I have not eaten at one since being diagnosed, but I couldn't wait to go! The chips are flour, not corn and there is no specific gluten free menu. HOWEVER the manager came to my table 3 times to discuss my allergy and helped me order fajitas with a non marinated chicken breast, and corn tortillas. He then had a conversation with my waitress to inform her how to help me. After that she brought out more corn toritllas for me to eat with the salsa. He could not confirm if the rice had gluten or not so I chose not to indulge. And he did say things might be cross contaminated but they try their best to work on clean surfaces. Because this is a brand new restaurant, I knew he was doing his best to accommodate me and learn more about how to serve those with gluten allergies. I will definitely be going back for 2 reasons: (1) the only pain I had from eating was being stuffed because it was all so great and (2) the service and care for me was impeccable! Way to go Chuy's! I hope other people find the same help when they eat there.

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      yes i understand that pectin is gluten free ty.  i want to know if any cigars are gluten free its a simple question

      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
