Great Job To Roy's Hawaiian Fusion


Lostfalls

I traveled to Las Vegas, NV a couple of weeks ago for a trade show I worked for my company. As is part of my job I am in charge of setting up team and client dinners, after much research and calling around I picked out several places where my fellow co-workers AND I could enjoy a meal. One of those places was Roy's Hawaiian Fusion - not only did they provide me with a nice Gluten Free menu, since I had called ahead they identified me as the "gluten free customer" as soon as we checked in - our server and host noticeably made a visual identification. This used to make me feel embarrassed, now it makes me feel safe - they were going to make darn sure I got the right food.

They had a dedicated cooking area with dedicated equipment for their gluten free food (which I expect but still appreciate). The meal was amazing, the plates they gave me were a different color and shape than everyone else's, so neither they nor I would mix up the food - they even informed I couldn't have one of the drinks I ordered because "it may contain gluten." I even inquired about their sushi which wasn't on the "gluten free menu" even though they had gluten free soy sauce. They sent the head chief out to our table who said if he left the "butter sauce" (most of the sushi in that establishment that day had one form of sauce on it or another ) off the sushi rolls and served it with the gluten free soy sauce, that it would be safe for me. So I got to have my sushi too!

They were so careful and attentive I felt very safe in eating there. I just had to let everyone know - I have no idea if they have shown up here on the forum before or not, but I had a great experience and did not get sick / had no gluten reaction what so ever. It was worth the extra money to dine there! :)

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
