Rodizio Grill

Bless these people, because they mean well. And I am quite the carnivore so I love these types of steakhouses when they keep bringing meats to the table.

But, I just received a direct mail piece that says:

"Rodizio Grill is America's First Brazilian Steakhouse and the only Brazilian Steakhouse 90% Gluten Free"

Again, they mean well, but I almost see a comedy skit when the waiter/waitress comes up to us Celiacs and says:

"Try our soup, it's okay, it's 90% gluten free"

"Want one of our beers on tap? It's okay, it's 90% gluten free"

I'll send them a note.

They might actually be referring to their menu. I've had several restaurants locally who said they were "mostly" gluten-free, and then proceeded to explain it in reference to their menu. :)

I absolutely agree with you. I just think they need some coaching in terms of how WE Celiacs read things.

It's almost like saying "At ValueJet, our planes don't crash 99.98% of the time"

I'll call their Marketing Director.

LOL! Isn't that the truth? We have a local pizzeria that is really great, but their ad said, Gluten Free Pizza, and directly beneath it, Whole Wheat Crusts. What they meant was, we now offer Gluten free pizza AND whole wheat crusts. ;) Oops! I avoided them for a year until I was referred by someone else who had asked the pertinent question and discovered their advertising boo-boo.

Since we are on the roll of misinterpretations in advertising, I thought you would like this TRUE story.

I actually worked on the advertising team that created the tagline "Pork. The Other White Meat". NO, I'm not the guy who came up with it, but I do know who it was.

Anyway, "The Other White Meat" was the national campaign. Every once in awhile a state association or a province in Canada would run outdoor campaigns that played off of the national campaign.

They ran a bunch of billboards that said "Pork the one you want".

I really wanted to enjoy these Brazilian places, but I found that the training and the ability to communicate with some employees was a problem.

If I'm paying $50-60 per person to eat, I want to be SURE that I'm not going to pay for it again later.

Tried Rodizio and another chain here in Denver. Didn't have an issue at either, but I avoided most everything after I got mixed signals at both. Hard to enjoy a meal that way....

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.
