Eating Out In Hilton Head Sc

[corbswinks]

My wife & I are going on vacation to Hilton Head, SC in October, and we were wondering if anyone knows of any Gluten Free freindly restaurants there?

Most restaurants are very accommodating to the special dietary needs out there. You need to ask for your food to be prepared separately, perhaps wrapped in tinfoil and unseasoned, and nicely stress the importance of your request. I enjoy going out to eat and use the opportunities to spread the word about Celiac Disease. I like to ask if they have a gluten free menu...most don't....and tell them that Outback Steakhouse does....but not in an unfriendly way.

I firmly believe people with Celiac Disease should go out into the community, order food in restaurants, smile a LOT and tell everyone they can in the food industry about the needs of Celiacs. That's the easiest way to spread the word and keep a happy face on the disease. People will usually do more if they feel they can do SOMETHING for you. Celiac awareness begins with US!
