Dallas Or Plano Texas Great Restaurant

:rolleyes: A new ALL GLUTEN-FREE restaurant opened ten minutes from my house! It is located at Central Expressway and Parker Road in Plano, Texas. (Plano is in the north-east corner of the Dallas area.) The restaurant is called Laura's Bistro. I had the California club sandwich and chips. The gluten-free bread was awesome. I went back with the kids. We had fried shrimp, French fries, and fettuccini. Everything was wonderful. Check out the website at www.delicious-n-fit.com. She has baked things too -- cake, pie, cupcakes. We didn't try any because we were stuffed, but we will be back weekly!

Sounds good! The website link didn't work but when I googled it the site came up just fine. Open Original Shared Link

It was Delicious n Fit when it was on Parker road. Laura just moved locations next to the Pancake house on 75 the name changed to Laura's Bistro. I haven't been to the new location yet, but we went to the old location on a regular basis. She always bakes my birthday cakes every year and I buy graham crackers in bulk during the holidays for pie crusts. The entire staff is also good with additional intolerances.

I love to encourage all Celiacs in DFW to support her business. She is also very kind on top of a great cook.

It is so sad, Laura's has closed....I never got to go. I think it is really messed up that in the DFW metroplex there was really only Laura's that was completely gluten free. I have found Sublime Bakery in Fort Worth that does make some gluten free items daily, but you have to either call ahead or get there early to get anything.

I am sad, as well, that Laura's has closed. But I don't believe she's down for the count.

She's still offering baked goods on a special order basis, and I truly believe if she can find a way to come back, she will.

A case of very bad timing. I recently bought a $50 coupon for Laura's Bistro for $25 through an offering linked to our local gluten-free group. Was so excited Saturday before last on the way there, only to find it closed.

Damn the bad luck!

best regards, lm

Larry, email Laura and see if she'll honor that coupon in some way. She's still doing 'special order' type baking, just not running the actual bistro anymore.

That is such a bummer they closed down!!!! I went there once with both my daughters - we loved our meal!!! It was a good hour drive though - so not somewhere I could go frequently. I was just telling my co-worker that I wanted to go back.

:(

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
