    I ate there in Durham, NC 2 years ago and didn't like it. I don't like bean flours at all, and they use bean flours in their crust. I felt safe eating there in terms of knowledgeable servers and cross-contamination issues, but I just can't past that bean flour taste.

    That's too bad. I went to this location when I was in town this past February. I had the coconut shrimp and the chicken entree. Honestly, the only reason I would go back is for the coconut shrimp because the chicken was blah, but if they've discontinued the gluten-free menu, then I have no need to ever go back. No more menus at the stand? Come on!

    I visited the Happy Tart the same day of my last post. I guess you could say I was desperate for a cupcake! I combined this trip with a visit to the Homemade Pizza Company, and I was able to park in the lot behind the pizza place. The Happy Tart owner was very nice! I asked if they used any chickpea or garbanzo bean flour (which I can't stand) in the...

    Thanks for the recommendation! Whenever I go to Del Ray, I go to the Homemade Pizza Company. It will be nice to stop by the bakery on the way home to pick up some desserts.

    I eat a salad at Subway at least once a week, and I never had any problems. I guess I was lucky! Now that I think about it though, CC could really be a problem.

    I'll definitely give Wolfgang Puck's and Babycakes a try! All gluten-free eaters seem to rave about the Earl of Sandwich, but I don't think they have gluten-free bread yet.

    Birch and Barley (birchandbarley.com) on 14th Street used to have a gluten-free menu, but I don't see it on their menu anymore. You might try giving them a call. Cafe Atlantico (www.cafeatlantico.com) accommodates gluten-free diners. They have great mojitos and guacamole if you're just looking for something to eat at the bar. Firefly (www.firefly...

    I used to eat at CFA at least once a week. (Shame on me!) I don't eat there as often anymore because its not as convenient to my job as it used to be. I wonder if the employees at your local restaurant weren't being careful. The only problem I had was that I asked for a grilled chicken breast and the cashier gave me fried instead, and of course I didn...

    Yes, the usual chain restaurants are in Miami. I used to go to Pollo Tropical a lot when I lived in Miami a long time ago. They list their allergy info their website (www.pollotropical.com). I'm guessing that a lot of Cuban and other Caribbean food would be gluten free as long as you're not getting the breaded stuff. You'll find lots of chicken, rice...

    I just read that PF Chang's expanded their gluten-free menu. New additions include Mongolian beef, shrimp with lobster sauce, and fried rice. I'm happy about this because there was such little variety before, but now it seems like they have everything covered. Open Original Shared Link and click on Gluten Free

    I went to a destination wedding this past July at the Rock House Hotel in Negril. I did well the entire weekend - no reactions at all. I didn't speak with the hotel staff before my arrival, but I'm not sure why I didn't! I could have but instead I just took a chance. It worked out well for me anyway, but it probably would have been good for me to get...

    During the week, one of my friends at the conference rented a car which is how we got to the Cliff House. My friend came into town (with a car!) at the end of the week so we were able to eat at places all around town. That was definitely helpful. Good luck and let us know where you go!

    I think you can still do the dining plan even if you are gluten-free. The key with the dining plan is being prepared. You have to have a plan so that you don

    Hi there, Where will you be staying? I went in October of 2008 and 2009. I don't think you can lose with the service at the table service restaurants. In 2008, we ate at California Grill and Jiko. This past year, we ate at California Grill, Kona Cafe, Narcoosee's, and Whispering Canyon Cafe. The service was best at Whispering Canyon Cafe, but the...

    Disney really is the best! I went in October and I'm headed back this May. I can't wait to try new restaurants and my new favorite - Narcoosee's. I'd really like to try the Wave as well. Chell, do you post on Disboards on the gluten-free threads? Your name sounds familiar!

    I had good luck with the 2 Mexican restaurants that I tried this April. One was Colibri at 438 Geary Street. The first time I ate there, I had the Pechuga Rellena de Huitlacoche, which is chicken breast stuffed with a mix of huitlacoche , zucchini and fresh corn, served over a roasted garlic sauce. The second time, I had margaritas, tortillas with guacamole...

    I know what you mean! It's always scary taking that first bite! On Friday, I had the half salad and half soup combo: Signature Salad with sherry shallot dressing and the tomato basil soup. The other salads on my rotation were the Greek Salad with Chicken and the Cosi Cobb. Pre-gluten-free, I would always get the create your own salad: chicken,...

    I've eaten there a few times since going gluten-free and I've gotten the same thing each time. They're not really helpful about their items online and the staff hasn't been that helpful at my local restaurant (Arlington, VA). I went to the one at Old Orchard in Skokie, IL, and they were very helpful, but the options were still very limited. They offered...

    Cosi now has an allergen list on their site! I've e-mailed them a few times in the past and never heard back from them so I was taking a chance every time I went there. Now, I realize that I was OK because the salads that I get don't contain gluten! You can find the list at Open Original Shared Link I'm headed there now!

    Awesome! Thanks for posting this!
  21. ChickensDon'tClap
    Awesome! I see there's one that's not too far away from my house. I'll take a look at their menu! Thanks!
  22. ChickensDon'tClap
    Great and thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to give it a try!

    While Papa John's definitely isn't the greatest pizza, I would definitely give their gluten-free pizza a try! There's one right by my house Van Dorn in Alexandria, VA, but I'd drive to Stafford just to give it a try. I'm tired of eating zPizza - their sauce and crust are so blah to me. I'm ready for something new!

    I ate at Hard Times recently and got glutened. I knew that the chili was gluten-free, but I didn't think to ask if the tortilla chips were. Guess I was just that hungry! I also had the chicken breast entree that comes with bacon and BBQ sauce on it so that could have been the culprit too. Either way, it was all my fault for assuming I would be OK without...

    I got glutened the very first time I ate there. I had the sweet and sour chicken and the spicy chicken that time. Since then, I have only eaten the Vietnamese salad rolls, and I've been fine. I don't know which one of the original menu items it was that got me sick.
