How Do I Go About Searching For Restaraunts In L.a.?

[Anonymousgurl]

I'm hoping that in 4 or 5 months I'll be doing better, so I want to start planning a trip now for the summer...because I want to be NORMAL. haha. I have a ton of food allergies but I'm hoping some will clear up by then, but I'm going to be realistic and say that I'll probably still have to be EXTREMELY careful. How do I go about looking restaraunts online for L.A.? Does anyone know any good websites? The websites probably don't have to be for L.A., im sure they have SOME kind of restaurant search engine or menu search engine out there. I just want to take a look at some menus and see if this is even possible for me....

I have a book "The Essential Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide", by Triumph Dining.

It has celiac friendly restaurants listed by cities. And it also lists gluten free items from many well known dining places.

I have used it several time and it has been quite helpful.

Do some on-line searches and contact support group leaders there.

I live about 40 miles south of LA in Orange County. There are lots of Wendy's in the LA/Orange County area. Outback also has a good number of resturants in the area. There are some Chick-fil-a's and Pei Wei's.

Please be aware LA/Orange County is a big place with lots of traffic, the heavist being Mon - Fri in the morning and evening. If someone from out of town asks how far is it from point A to point B, there answer is "when are you going?". After "when" is deteremined the answer is how long it will take you to get there not how far. I would suggest that once you have set determined your lodging and site seeing schedule you call the restuarants for approximate travel times.

Have a super trip.
