Great Experience

[PicturePerfect]

Hey everyone!

I just got back from Cour d'Alene, Idaho. I had the best experience! My mom had e-mailed the head chef at the hotel and he said they would be able to prepare foods for me at 3 of their restaurants! As we were driving to the hotel, my dad spotted a "GLUTEN-FREE" sign off of the side of the road. We pulled over and there was store that was filled with gluten-free food! We got a bunch of stuff like snacks and Kinnikinick chocolate covered doughnuts (they were sooo good)! Anyway, when we got to the hotel, in our room was a fruit basket with Namaste brownie packages! That was a good sign. The first night we went to one of the three restaurants called Bonsai Bistro. No problems at all- they knew what to do (although I asked a bunch of questions). The food was so good that we went again! For lunches, we brought a griller and had Whole Foods bread, so I had grilled cheese. It was a great experience!!!

Wow! That's very exciting! It's getting easier for us. Someday hopefully everywhere will be that way.

Oh wow, we only live about 4 hours north of Cor d'Alene. Next time we are down that way, we'll have to check it all out! Good for them, hope they spread the idea all over

Glad you had such a wonderful time.

Cor d'Alene is amazing. I am from New York but was through there less then 3 months ago. There is a steak and oyster bar that is on the main drag. I recomend it highly. Let the waiter or waitress know that you are gluten free and they will surely take care of you.

My girlfriend, Krysta, and I went there when we went through and they did more then expected. The cook that was there at the time came out and asked specifics on what she could and could not have. Each thing was carefully prepaired and the meal was great. Most of the soups were gluten-free. I do not suffer with this disorder but was so amaized to how the delt and took such good care of the customers. I would deffinately recoment that anybody try this place. I am going to go back in the next month.

Do you travail in Idaho much. I am looking for a support group around Moscow for her. Any ideas?

[Guest Viola]

No, unfortunately we don't get down there much. There must be many Celiacs around there though, that's a fairly good size city. Perhaps she should ask at the hospital or a medical clinic. There may already be a support group there.
