Petition For Improved Triumph Restaurant Guide

[GFinSB]

Hi all,

I've seen pretty good reviews for the Triumph Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide, and I was thinking about getting one. However, their sample pages show that all the restaurants are organized by state and sometimes by big cities within states. For example, California restaurants are grouped into San Diego, San Francisco and Other. I happen to be exactly half way between SD and SF, so I basically don't know if any of the restaurants listed are within 20 minutes or within 8 hours driving distance.

The internet is likely the best source for finding restaurants and up-to-date information, but I have found myself spending hours on the internet before every trip, and it is exhausting. I'd love to have a paper alternative, at least as a starting point. But, you cannot Google search the contents of a book in your hand, so thorough indexing is a must. With that in mind, I exchanged emails with Triumph in which I recommended that they add indexes by city and/or county. They said they were considering it for the next edition, but a decision will not be made until January.

Finally, I realized that my emails alone likely won't make a difference, but I bet an email from all the celiac.com forum readers could convince them to go the extra mile. So, I hope you agree this cause is worthy of a minute of your time. You can email them at: custserv@triumphdining.com. Please let me know what you think and if this should go in a different forum.

Thanks!

Shawn
