I know there are PF Changs and Outbacks in Chicago - but I was hoping to try some other places that I cannot have at home in PA.

Can anyone recommend gluten-free lunch/dinner places to check out - I'll be traveling with 2 non-celiac folk.

Thanks in advance.

Are you staying in the City? There are quite a few options for you that offer gluten-free food and/or menus.

Wildfire

Adobo Grill (yum!)

Vinci ($$)

Carrabba's

Da Luciano's

Ben Pao

Chicago Diner (vegetarian)

Flat Top Grill

Fogo de Chao

Rezas

The Weber Grill has a good size gluten-free menu. I ate there last week and it was great. Their dessert menu is just a milkshake, but their dinner menu is large. All the food is cooked on Weber charcoal grills.

I believe they have an online menu. Good luck.

you gotta try vinci! sooooo good. in the city. Carnivale doesnt have a gluten-free menu, but they do work with you and they were so nice and helpful. Awesome food. Chips are made in a dedicated fryer and their guac is the best thing in the world.

I totally agree, Vinci is the place to go for sure. Excellent food and great waitstaff. They picked up on my declining bread and asked if I'd like a gluten free menu. It's expensive but well worth it.

Your non-celiac friends will definitely like Adobo. My gluten-free son had a 30th birthday party there and his friends raved about the food. The CSA had their annual lunch at Ben Pao this year, so they should have a gluten-free menu now. They select a different restaurant each year and work with the staff. Then after the luncheon, the restaurant usually keeps the gluten-free menu. That is what happened at Wildfire and Weber Grill. Have a good time.

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions!

I ate out for lunch and dinner every day of the trip with NO CC problems or even hesitations. All of the restaurants in Chicago were so accommodating.

We tried out:

Lou Malanati's pizza - gluten free deep dish --- well, it's a sausage "crust" with cheese and sauce on top. Yummy, but very heavy.

Carnivale - YUM!

Hit PF Changs while we shopped the Magnificent Mile

AND ate a Weber Grill.

Plus - Howl at the Moon - great "dueling" piano bar - served Woodchuck!

It was SO nice to be able to feel so comfortable about eating out for three days straight!

Again, thanks for your suggestions!

I vote Da Luciano's the guy has 4 kids with gluten-free and they all work there. Try the VEAL !!

P.S.- Us real Chicagoans know the Italians are in River Grove area.

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
