2 New Choices In Macomb County, Michigan

I have just found two new dine-out possibilities. The Uno's Chicago Grill on M-59 & Mound has a gluten free menu (including pizza). I called to verify--they said they just implemented this a week and a half ago.

A new restaurant just opened in Sterling Heights, MI at 17 Mile & Mound that specializes in Gluten free foods--it is called "gluten-free Cucinas". Open Original Shared Link

We haven't tried them yet, but will post an update later :ph34r:

We really enjoyed gluten-free Cucinas! We live further north and it's not that easy to get to, but we loved it.

Hi there, fellow Michigander! Keep me posted as to any other gluten-free choices around here!

You are really close to Lifemart on M-59. They have a lot of gluten free food choices and a small fresh deli. Find some of your favorites and look on line for in bulk ordering (think large book seller - web sites that sell items get flagged and show up as lame advertisement). It saves me time and money.

You can take the drive out to Celiac Specialties at 23 and Jefferson. They have the best gluten free doughnuts! :D

Did you know that Outback Steakhouse, Carrabarra's, Cheeseburger in Paradise, P.F. Chang's, (I think the restaurant chain) Bonefish Grill and Pei Wei all have gluten free menus. All on M-59 by Lakeside and in Partridge Creek shopping centers so that area is a gluten free mecca. B)

Went to GFCucinas last weekend, GREAT food. Had a big plate of Chicken Wings with home made fries, for 10 bucks. Took home Pizza and Lasagna which were great too. I'm about 2 hours north of Sterling Heights, but it was well worth the trip and I will be going back. Anybody within a 2 hour Radius of the Detroit area should make the trip, you won't regret it.

A+++

I also want to mention that I was there at about 2:30 on a Saturday, and there were a good 8 people that came and went as I was there. I figured at such a restaurant it was very possible I would be the only one there at the time I went. Sooooo Happy to see them doing good business, hopefully they keep it up!

We just took the family to G F Cucina's for dinner for the first time...two thumbs up!! Two adults and one celiac child had an excellent gluten-free meal for about $30, including entrees, breadstix, beverages, and dessert. I have to say, the pizza was top notch--fresh cheese, great sauce, thin crust. Like a gourmet pizza! The "Cucina sticks" were very good, light and well seasoned--the perfect side to pizza. We also tried the chicken tenders w/homemade fries--my husband and daughter loved these. We finished off with two shared desserts, just for research and experimentation,of course ;) The coffee cake was tasty and moist, and the blueberry cheesecake was like a forkful of heaven. The meal we were served definitely stands on it's own as an excellent gourmet dining option.

When we arrived we were welcomed with friendly smiles and open arms by the owners. "Mary" is a fellow gluten-free and went way out of her way to please our little girl. "Chef" (sorry, didn't catch his name) was a real pro and had a big smile for every customer (and there were quite few when we went.) He took the time to give informational brochures form the Celiac Disease Foundation (which they keep in a display near the door) and went over the menu with us and the other customers as they came in. He also gave us a very in-depth press release stating that "Cucina's" has joined the CSA Recognition Seal Program, which means that they have provided proof of all ingredients and procedures certifying them as gluten free, so no cc worries.

All in all,an excellent worry free dining experience was enjoyed there tonight and we will definitely be back for more tempting treats--especially since they gave us a "buy 10 meals, get 1 free" card. I'm a busy mom and just having an option was nice, but added to it the gourmet food and worry free prep and we got ourselves a winner!

I am lucky I live close to gluten-free Cucina's. Everything that I have tried has been wonderful. The best part is not worrying about CC when you eat there. It has become my favorite restaurant.

UPDATE! gluten-free Cucina's sells some of their entrees frozen/uncooked to take home from the restaurant but for those in mid-Michigan they are now selling them in the freezer section at Hiller's Market in East Lansing. He is also trying to get Vince & Joe's Market to carry them.

      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...

      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.

      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...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

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.
