Boston Market

Hi,

I know that someone has asked this before, but I can't seem to find the thread. I am going there after work. What can I eat there that is gluten-free? I know the dill potatoes are ok, but the apples are not. I can't remember what else is safe.

Thanks,

Traci

Laura, we just moved from that area you mention.... (I'm going to pretend that I'm right and you're living exactly near where I lived in Va.Beach) there's a health food store called, "The Heritage" down near the ocean....Just keep going east on Laskin *It's confusing because Laskin and Va. Beach Blvd do a merging thing as you head towards the oceanfront*...anyway, The Heritage is all the way east, as you approach the ocean. It's awesome and even better is Michael. He'll order you any gluten free product you want. He got me everything and then some. He ordered me foods by George before anyone had ever heard of George. He had Tinkyadas before anyone else. He got me gluten free pie crusts. The store looks junky from the outside, but it's great as far as supply. There's also an Outback out that way. We ate out there all the time and when we didn't eat out, we did the curbside take away. They were great with the gluten free menu. Never had a problem. If the Boston Mk you're referring to is the one I'm thinking of *it's on vabeachblvd, or laskin??? There's a grocery store right in back and there's a party city there as well???? (sorry if I'm totally wrong about where you are) But if I'm correct about where you're talking about, that food store has a health food section that has Tinkyadas, cereal, etc and the prices are great. Good luck!

Laura,

Here is the website for the Heritage. The great thing about Va. Beach was that the food stores generally carried Tinkyadas, Envirokidz cereals, Pacific Brands broths and more. I LOVED that about Va beach. There's NO WholeFoods, though. I have a young son who has Celiac and I needed food NOW when we arrived. I'd researched the area before moving from California and was really worried. I'd found The Heritage store prior to our move and called them from Ca. The person on the phone was not very reassuring about the quantity or variety of gluten free foods they had available, but I went straight to there when we arrived and was bowled over by the gluten free foods. Then the guy in charge of the freezer section, Michael, well, he got me anything I wanted. If he saw me in the store, he'd drag me over to the freezer section and show me what else he'd ordered for us. He was the best. When I moved in March, they had Glutano cereal bars and breadsticks and told me they were going to make a "gluten free section". I found NO good support groups in the area, like a R.O.C.K. group or something... You might have a lot of success beginning something like that in that area.

Oh, I saw a picture of Michael on the web site! Look/ask for him at the store. He really will help you out. And remember, it's a funky, weird store. Don't be afraid.

Looking forward to checking it out.
