York Beach Maine

[NicoleAJ]

I just thought I'd post about my trip to York Beach, Maine, as it was the first trip in quite some time that I did not get ill. First of all, the Hannaford's on Rte 1 has a decent gluten free selection, with plenty of Amy's organics, Pamela's cookies, Larabars, etc. This was helpful since I was staying in a cottage where I could cook food. There aren't a lot of places in downtown York Beach where you can actually get food--the Goldenrod had never really heard of gluten. But if you do have a car, then you'll easily be able to get a good meal. At Fox's at Nubble Light, they were extremely accomodating with all of my requests--I had lobster, and they said that they weren't sure if their margarine mix had gluten, so they melted fresh butter for me instead. They also checked the ingredients on the sour cream before bringing it out (for my baked potato). They took cc issues very seriously--and their prices were very reasonable $19 for a 1 1/8 lb lobster, baked potato and a salad. I also had luck eating lobster at the Weathervane in Kittery Maine and getting halibut at Robert's in Kittery (though that was a bit pricier). Allison's in Kennebunkport, Maine was also accomodating--they were able to make prime rib without flour. I didn't get a chance to go to the York Harbor Inn, but they also seemed really accomodating and I used to love going there before going gluten free. If any of you travel to southern Maine, you should have no problem finding food (especially if you like lobster). I was there for a week and didn't get sick a single time.

Yeah! That's great! York maine is about 10 minutes from my house so that's good to know.

It was just nice not to have to worry. I hope everyone gets the chance to go to that area because it's so beautiful--and now celiac-friendly as well.
