Mimi's Cafe

Hi everyone!

I went to Mimi's earlier tonight and they had a great gluten free menu/information page. The hostess printed it out for me before we were seated, and in reading it, they give great suggestions to avoid CC and are willing to cut fruit or saute things in a separate pan.

I would post it on here, but it's a 4 or 5 page PDF file. You can however, email them and ask for them to email it to you. I got a quesadilla with corn tortillas instead of flour and so far I have had no side effects (usually get a nasty headache within 30 minutes of being glutened)

Hope this helps if there is a Mimi's in your area!!!

Liz

Liz-

Thanks for that tip.

I trust nobody about food, except my wife and just a few restaurants.

I think I can trust the chili and french fries at Wendys.

Also trust the In-N-Out Burger hamburger (w/o bun) and french fries.

I now trust Mimi's and Outback as it seems they understand the definition of gluten-free.

I have rant though. It seems almost all restaurant workers I've run across (aside from the above) are clueless about gluten. I tell them I can't have any gluten and they do crap like bring me a salad with croutons :angry:

Regards Mark

I've never heard of Mimi's Cafe before so I went on their website. They are opening one near my house!! I'm so excited! They will be near Cheeseburger in Paradise and Biaggi's - both are very gluten friendly. Oh now I'll have a greater choice of restaurants to go to :D !

Thanks for letting us know this Liz!

I think Wendy's took their french fries off their gluten-free list. There was a post on here a few weeks back about it. You might want to double check.

Hey Mark- I am not sure the fries at Wendy's are safe, sometimes in the past I would get nuggets mixed in with fries and vice versa (pre-celiac) Something to look into.

I think that some Wendy's have dedicated fryers, while others don't. You need to ask at each location.

Hi Liz,

I live in the Raleigh-Durham area too, where is the Mimi's? I've never been there. Have you been to Carraba's, they have a great gluten-free menu too. Boy I wish I knew within 30 minutes of being "contaminated", as I like to call it... it hits me about a day and a half to 2 days later! Then I suffer for almost a week.

Thanks for the info!

I live in California...there is a Mimi's Cafe about 10 minutes from me. They have been very accomodating and we eat there once or twice a month. I have never gotten sick after eating there....I wish we had some of the other restaurants you mentioned though

Well, the good news is that Mimi's opened up near my house. The bad news is they're not offering a gluten-free menu :angry: ! With Cheeseburger in Paradise and Biaggios in the same shopping center and both offering gluten-free menus, you'd think they'd follow suit <_< ! Well, I'm going to write a letter to the manager to complain!!

Do that for sure, because I initially went to their website and inquired through there. They replied to me with a pretty big pdf file about what to avoid and not. Maybe the manager is uninformed :(

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
