Has anyone ever been to the restaurant in NYC, Tropica? I just read at www.glutenfreerestaurants.org that they have a gluten free menu. I'm thinking of trying it out this weekend. Can anyone give me an idea of some of the items on the menu?

Thanks.

I havent tried it yet but i have eaten at several of the restaurants owned by the same company-- i really like their restaurants and have found all of them to be very accomodating. I have been meaning to try Tropica but the hours arent great (i generally only eat out on the weekends so i havent made it there yet). Let me know how it is!!

I ate there once pre-dx and didn't find anything special about it. I think it was for a business thing otherwise I probably wouldn't have gone there in the 1st place. I've never thought to go there again.

Ok, so I ate at Tropica restaurant tonight and I would not recommend it. They had a very small gluten free menu but the items were just things that are naturally gluten free (they didn't have like gluten free bread, pasta, etc.). I believe the choices were steak, chicken, halibut, branzino, and lobster. I decided on the branzino which was stuffed with spinach and tomatoes and drizzled in a butter sauce. I thought the butter sauce was a bit too creamy (I don't really eat much dairy so it may have just been me) and the tomatoes looked like raw meat (I have no idea why...they tasted fine but just looked really strange).

For appetizers they basically had tossed salad, shrimp cocktail, etc. and for dessert they said that they "assumed" the sorbet and ice cream were gluten free but didn't know...so I avoided having dessert. I really don't think I would go back there again.

      @shadycharacter, did you mean to reply to another post about sourdough bread? The present thread isn't about that.

      Thanks for your response. It seems to be only with gluten, illness, or vaccination.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.
