Ice,cream. check their website for gluten-free options. also I know that some gluten-free bloggers where in Denver recently. lots of options. might check celiac & the beast website...

    Sorry ! I have never cruised before. Just wanting to follow your topic. Good luck! Have a great, safe vacation.

    Yes the grilled nuggets are still gluten free. So is there grilled chicken. We visit our local chickfila frequently. We love their fries to! On their website you can see a list of their gluten free options. Maybe not all stores are as good as good as ours, but the one by our home in Mesa is great. They are trained from the top down on celiac or gluten...

    We bake or make a lot of items to take with us on trips prior to going. I pack things in individual baggies or hard plastic containers. Homemade muffins. Peanut butter and honey or jelly sandwiches (no fridge needed!). Trial mixes. Dried Fruit. We like the Go Picnic boxes (not all are gluten-free, so watch that ..not sure on soy for those). Apples. Jerky...

    We ate there again late last night (yes I know, Valentines day) But we went almost at close so they weren't busy. It was great food again and no cross contact. We had the caprese salad and the chicken trio (chicken marsala, chicken bryan, and rosa maria) and we shared it. We also shared the Johnny Rocco shrimp salad that is a main dish. The staff was very...

    We ate Carrabbas for the first time a few weeks ago. We are very sensitive to cross contact, and did not get sick. It was great food too! Our server was knowledgeable - which is always reassuring We will be back.

    I know this is old ... but thought I'd chime in. Silver Dollar City. We love the berries and cream (ice cream stand with strawberries) everything in the ice cream stand is gluten-free. Frozen Lemonaid is gluten-free; Kettle corn like someone else said is gluten-free; The sausage skillet medley is gluten-free; we have tried it; It is at the Tater Patch...

    Thanks for the info! We were actually thinking of maybe trying their gluten free menu. I'm happy to know they are moving in the right direction! And education is the key!

    We went to the Gluten Free Expo last weekend in Phoenix. Huge Expo. Lots of yummy samples and educated people to talk to re Celiac and Gluten free. One HUGE exception. Papa Murphy's was there, handing out "gluten free pizza samples". They had an oven there they were cooking them in. I figured since they were at the Gluten Free Expo, they would of made some...

    We have actually had to walk out of many restaurants that have a "gluten free menu". Don't be afraid to. Yes, its frustrating, and disappointing, but If I can't talk with someone who understands, or they laugh it off as in your case, we don't chance it. I am sick for 2-3 days, and so is my daughter. I am extra careful because of my daughter. Good luck with...

    We are very careful due to cross contact; But we have found a few places we love. Not sure what part of the country you live in. Here in Arizona we have a place called Zoyo yogurt. You go in and they say right on the label if it is gluten free or not. They do a great job of cleaning. We have eaten there many times (too many!! haha) and have never had a problem...

    Wow thanks for the info on Waffle House. I would of never of even thought of trying that. Thanks for the info. I will have to talk to our local one and see how they could do things safely.
  13. Darissa
    I have never seen one, but would love to know also if there is one that exist! We have to be so very careful also with gluten-free and cross contact. But I would love a restaurant that does it right! We have a local restaurant here that does pancakes, but they are not a chain.
  14. Darissa
    I would be interested in this also! I'm not good at keeping things organized! Can't wait for some helpful ideas!

    We ate at Red Robin for the first time in 4 years. They have improved so much on their gluten-free options and the way they handle it all! We were on vacation, and ate there 3 times in Utah, and now have sense eaten at our local one. The management, servers, and cooks all did a great job! The fries are fried in a seperate fryer (at least in Provo, Ut and...

    Wow I never knew Pollo Loco had a gluten free menu. I would like to try our local one, and talk with the manager. We have multiple ones here in our area. I'm sure as with anywhere, there are concerns about cross contact. But I would love to try it and talk with their manager about risks/shared fryers, and if it is a positive experience, I will take my family...

    We loved our experiences at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. at Universal Studio area in California. We ate there 3 times in one week. We are on vacation now in a different state, and we were wishing there was a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co here. Our servers were very careful, and we had no problem with cross contact (we are very sensitive, and get sick very easily). Hopefully...

    We would love to try one and we were on vacation in Flagstaff, AZ this weekend, and we went to a DD there in town. My kids were excited to try them. We were going to try the muffin and donut. The workers at this DD had never heard of a prepacked gluten free anything! They weren't sure what I was talking about! So hopefully they will start showing up in the...

    ARCHIVED Chickfila?

    Darissa replied to eblue's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    We enjoy ChickFilA as a fast food restaurant once in a while. When we travel, and need a quick meal, we also eat there. Our local ChickFilA does a great job. We just explain Celiac and can not have gluten (our Local ChickFilA knows about Celiac - I guess their employees have been trained) and ask them to be extra careful and change their gloves. We enjoy...

    Gourmet Girls Gluten Free Bakery and Café sounds great! We will try it! And thanks for the info on El Charro. I appreciate everyones feedback!
  21. Darissa
    Thanks for the Hotrods info. I'll check it out online. Thanks for the info on Mexican. Maybe we will stick with the tamales! We can get Mexican up here in the Valley, so we will venture out to new things!
  22. Darissa
    I have used so many flours out there - Our favorite for almost everything baking wise is Jules Gluten Free Flour (online only ...so worth trying a bag) and her bread mix is like heaven! So good. I also do like Better Batter and King Arthurs, but I like Jules the best. I have a freezer full of it (I like to bake!). Good luck! It does get easier!
  23. Darissa
    Thanks so much! That is a great list of places to try. The only other place my kiddos would like is Mexican (I see Tamale Co - we love tamales so we will try that) but chips/salsa and other Mexican choices. Thanks again for the list. We will try Feast! I already checked out their menu online. Looks great! And Lotus Garden - we really like Chinese. I like...

    Thanks so much! Appreciate the post! We aren't traveling for a while, so if you hear from your Aunt, you might ask her their favorite restaurants! We live in Phoenix, so we will be driving with a cooler. We are staying a hotel with a kitchen to fix simple meals, but when we are traveling, its nice to be able to eat out a few times (vacation for Mom without...

    We are going to be visiting Tucson, AZ Kartchners Caverns and Tombstone AZ soon. We are looking for ideas for gluten free restaurants in those areas? Maybe some local places? Thanks in advance!! Darissa
