Bonefish Grill / G/f Bread Basket

I went to Bonefish Grill last night in Secaucus, NJ. It was a pretty good experience. They had a good selection of gluten-free meals and the waitress didn't look at me like I had three heads when I told her my meal needed to be gluten-free. She offered to bring me the gluten-free menu and was upset I had a print out. I had printed out my own from the website.

She went on to say how everything was prepared from scratch so I felt confident the chefs knew what they were doing to prepare my meal gluten-free. I had the Saucy Shrimp appetizer and the Mahi Mahi meal in the lemon butter sauce. Both were good although the sauce on the Mahi mahi was a little bland. They have other gluten-free sauces so when I go back I will try a different one.

The only two problems were small. The waitress offered up my shrimp app. as a good sauce to dip bread in. Which no one did until I was done with the shrimp. I know, a very small error on her part but it goes to show how others don't totally get it.

Also, the Creme Brulee was listed on the website as gluten-free and it wasn't. This was actually a plus on the waitress' part as she went in to check to see if it was gluten-free. She suspected it wasn't. Something to do with the vanilla extract they use made it not gluten-free.

Well, I did get a dessert as my friend who's son has celiac disease brought me a gluten-free black & white cookie from the gluten-free bread basket in Chester, NY. She didn't even know it was one of my favorite cookies - just a coincidence. My wife didn't even know. Anyway it was very good as I thought I would never have one of those suckers again. She also brought me a snickerdoodle cheese cake from the same place and that was good as well. My non celiac wife even agreed. It was my very unhealthy breakfast this morning. I know but we had to indulge when we get these treats - right?

And I concur, their food is amazing... my mom just came out to visit me at college this weekend for my gymnastics meet and brought a cooler full of food for me. Talk about spoiling me:-). I'm not typically a person that likes chocolate, but lately I've been craving it-- the chocolate bundt cake is to die for. It's quite rich though, it's going to last me quite a while (in the freezer of course). I'm savoring my peanut butter cookies, it was all I could do not to eat all of them in one sitting. The bagels of course are great, and I'm really excited to eat my muffins (chocolate chip, pumpkin, and banana this time), and speaking of those black and white cookies... when my mom went to buy all the food, the owner of the bakery said she simply couldn't go to visit me without a black and white cookie... and she didn't even know that those were probably my favorite cookie as a kid!

I'm going to be on a sugar high for the next week...... and enjoying every minute of it!

I also have nejoyed Bonefish Grill. They are owned by the same company that owns Outback and Carrabas.

I did not like Carrabas as well - thought the menu was too limited. Claire

I love Bonefish too, I've never had a problem them but I go over everything when I order and when the food is delivered. I agree that the staff there has been briefed on gluten issues, every time I've ever been in a Bonefish they have always known about gluten-free.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
