"old Tavern" In Philadelphia

My Hubby Richie and I took a day trip to Philly yesterday and like usual I packed a gluten-free lunch since it was a last minute trip and I hadn't done any research.

We had a great time looking around the historic district, doing a tour of the area, and just seeing all the sites.

For lunch Richie went to the "Old Tavern" where the very first 4th of July was celebrated. It is a historic site and on all the maps (if you go to Independance Visiters Center you can get a 2 for one meal coupon since it is a little pricy). Any way when we got there I had plans to just sit there and look at the scenery while Richie had lunch; but like always I thought I'd ask the greeter if their chef knew anything about "Gluten Free" and as I was doing my speach about Gluten and older man who worked there interupted saying "Oh you have Celiac?" He informed me that his name was Simon and he had Celiac too. He told me that the chef was well aware of Gluten Free cooking and then Simon went over the whole menue with me of what I could and couldn't have. I ended up having the prime rib but there was about a dozen other choices I could have. Even though Simon wasn't our waiter he still came and checked on me during the meal and was a God Send.

While there is no desert there that is Gluten Free, I highly reccomend the "Old Tavern" on 2nd Street in the Historic District of Philly. You'll not only get a gluten-free meal but the resteraunt and everyone who works there still looks like it did 200 years ago when Ben Franklin would come by for a bite. Make sure you ask for Simon!

Hugs

Hi Bridget :D I'm glad you had such a nice lunch! I've been by that place many times, but never eaten there. It's such a charming old building. Good to know they do gluten-free ;)

Hey my friend. Maybe we will do lunch there one day. It was my first visit to Philly and I want to go back ( I even rode the ducks...lol).

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
