Resturants- Dining Out

[Robie]

hi, i'm new to this whole celiac thing and i was wondering about eating out. has anyone gone to the Golden Corral? What did you think of it and did you notice many gluten-free foods. Also, is smoked hams gluten-free? Thanks for the help, I'm sure I'll have many more questions.

We used to have a Golden Corral here where I live. I usually prefer buffets because of celiac disease. I can't tell you for sure on the smoked ham - if it is truly hickory smoked and not flavor "smoked" it should be fine. On the buffet side, for the meats I will ask a server if the broth is just meat juice or something else added. There's always veggies and salads too, but of course the dessert bar is out . I stick to the ice cream or go back to the salad bar for pudding, jello or fruits.

I am the opposite.

I am petrified of Buffets.

I live in VEgas and the only one I will go to is the Bellagio because they can tell you all of the ingredients (though it is a giant pain in the butt).

Way too much cross-contamination -- too much people using the same ladels for the same food , same knives for different meats ---- I used to get sick there all the time.

Even their mashed potaotes are instant and contain flour/dry mix/powders.....

I advise against it...strongly...
