Gluten Free In Clayton, Georgia?

[Coolclimates]

I will be staying in this town for several days soon and was wondering if there were any gluten free restaurants and/or cafes in the Clayton, Georgia area. Unfortunately, I seem quite sensitive to cross contamination, so places that have gluten-free food but don't really understand the diet or have staff who are not educated about the gluten-free diet probably won't do.

I will also be in Asheville, NC and Sylva, NC.

Asheville will be no problem. I haven't been to Clayton in several years but seem to remember it's a very small town and unfortunately I wouldn't expect to find much...I'm sure there are a few restaurants in Highlands.

We were in Clayton some years ago before going gluten-free and all I remember was country fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, veggies with corn bread, grits and gravy, etc. I wasn't looking for gluten-free food at the time so it's possible it's there.

We were in Hendersonville, NC about a year ago and I had a wonderful lunch at a little bistro-type place. You may have to look for the more touristy places rather than the diners and family-style places. This was a little place near all the art shops.

Asheville shouldn't be a problem at all.

I'm sure Asheville will be easy. I heard that there is a Dairy Queen in Clayton. Not that that is much, but can get a safe ice cream as far as I know. I love Southern food but I can't seem to find any gluten-free Southern food! Bummer.

A lot of fast-food places in Clayton have gluten-free menus. Don't know if that's your cup of tea or not. And yes, the Dairy Queen is an option there too.
