I was in Atlanta last week, and we actually ate there twice!!! The food was SO DELICIOUS, and I was felt like a normal person eating in a restaurant.

One word of caution: The first time we ate there I ordered the chocolate flourless cake, and they cautioned me that they would have to serve it without ice cream because their ice cream is not gluten free. That was fine, and it was wonderful! We ate there again a few days later. I ordered the chocolate flourless cake (they knew I was gluten free for medical reasons) but it came with the ice cream on top. I asked the waitress to please verify that I could have it and briefly explained why I was questioning it. She took it away, and came back with a fresh dessert (sans ice cream) and was VERY apologetic. She said that indeed their ice cream is not gluten free, and didn't understand how the mix up happened...they pride themselves in doing a superb job with allergies, intolerances, etc. etc. I think it really was a very honest mistake. I only describe my experience to say: YES, dine at Wildfire, it's AMAZING, but keep your gluten radar on high (as we should anywhere we dine away from home).

I had the steak tenderloin sandwich. Imagine that! A sandwich in a restaurant, oh was I ever in the clouds. The steak was very tender, the kinnikinnick bun was toasted, and all served with shredded lettuce and tomato. EXCELLENT! The kind of sandwich you get in a "nice" restaurant.

I would also like to throw out a caution, as with every restaurant. I went a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, however, our waiter was not familiar with gluten free and had to ask the manager about the blue cheese on the salad. I ordered the gluten-free cake and it came out looking suspicous (was 3 layers and very tall - not at all like a flourless cake would look), but since it wasn't on the "normal" menu or on the dessert tray that they took around I figured it had to be the gluten-free cake. Well, come to find out it was NOT gluten-free, so I was served (and ate) a regular cake. I will still go back there again though, as the rest of my meal was great, but I will definitely question things if there is any doubt in my mind (I'm still new to this so mistakes are bound to happen).

That's strange ... or else their gluten-free menu is ... ice cream is on the gluten-free menu. :blink:

Hahaha! I didn't have a menu in my hands at the moment, but that's what I was told at lunch one day and then confirmed at dinner a couple of days later. I thought it would be unusual that the vanilla ice cream wasn't gluten-free, but I certainly was going to argue or question? Hmmmm....wonder what the real story is???

Might be worth an e-mail inquiry to corportate.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
