    Thank you! I will put Steak and Shake on our list...I'll report back if we end up trying it!

    Can anyone provide any thoughts on whether Steak and Shake's gluten free menu is something that is a wise choice? I am on a cross-country roadtrip; I am non-Celiac gluten insensitive, and am pretty sensitive. I am worried about error rate and cross-contamination, but can't find many reviews online of the gluten free menu. It would be nice to add Steak...

    My husband and I used the cards from this site when we traveled to Italy. They have A LOT of languages, and they're free (although a donation is requested). We printed off 15 or so for our 15 day trip (which was good, because they kept disappearing or getting lost in our various bags). Open Original Shared Link

    My husband and I are in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and perhaps Luxembourg in early summer (late May or early June). Our initial plan is to start in Vienna and generally work our way west to Zurich or Bern. We would definitely hit Vienna, Saltzburg, Munich, and the Black Forest, someplace in Switzerland off...

    You're in GREAT shape - lots of options. Pizza - best pizza in the area is Marcello's Father and Sons. I've eaten gluten-free pizza all over the country, and that is HANDS DOWN my favorite. My husband isn't gluten free and he says this is the best of pizza crust he's ever had. Lots of toppings options. They are not downtown, but they'll deliver to...

    I purchased chia seeds from Bob's Red Mill, not noticing that these are not labeled gluten free and are not made in Bob's gluten free facility. (I was in a hurry and at a new store) The website admits that they are made in the normal facility. I am generally fine with items packaged in a facility shared with wheat products, but almost always react to shared...

    My husband and I are traveling to Lexington, KY for a weekend getaway in a week and a half. Can anyone recommend any restaurants? I found the local gluten-free support group's website, which has some suggestions, but I'd love to hear any personal recommendations. We are staying out by the airport / university at a Starwood property, and will be spending...

    I was looking through the rest of the site, and there is a huge post about chain restaurants called "what chains serve gluten free meals nowadays" with lots more info - including some I didn't know about.

    I just got back from Disney, and had a great experience. Honestly, Disney does gluten free so well that it makes me wonder why so many others can't get it right. There is information on their website with what places (sit down and fast service) have which gluten-free foods. However, I would highly recommend talking to a manager at each place you eat. ...

    Katie, Thanks very much for your help. I have had an excellent week here in New Haven. I had good luck with Claire's (which I now wish was also in Chicago), Bell Amici in Guilford (tortellini!!!), and the Omni hotel, which marked up a room service menu for me.

    I will be traveling to August, GA in mid-March for business; I would appreciate restaurant recommendations. Thank you very much. I travel extensively for business, and the suggestions I receive from the users of this forum have made my recent trips much more enjoyable.

    I will be taking a half pleasure, half business trip to Orlando (pleasure, including Walt Disney World, but not staying in a Disney hotel) and Deland Florida. Can anyone make any non-Disney suggestions for places to eat? It seems that Disney has been extensively covered on this site and I'm not particularly worried about that. Thank you very much. I...

    I am headed to North Haven in two weeks for business, which is apparently very close to New Haven. Does anyone have any restaurant suggestions for New Haven, North Haven, or anywhere close? The only success I've had online is an Outback in North Haven.

    I am traveling to North Haven, CT for work in two weeks. I would appreciate any suggestions for gluten-free friendly restaurants (I eat anything and everything, and would appreicate recommendations to both fancy places - for biz meals - and faster alternatives or places with take-out). Also, I would be open to local prepared gluten-free entree providers...

    I ended up going back to Boulder this week, and made it to Turley's and Laudisio. Laudisio was frankly amazing - I had the baked polenta dish and I have GOT to figure out how to make that at home. The gluten-free menu is huge. My non-gluten-free colleagues were also highly impressed. Turley's was great too - fast and cheap. I was very excited to have...

    GREAT! Thanks!

    I am going to be traveling to Ireland in March. Can anyone make any recommendations for restaurants in Galway, Dublin, Athlone, and/or Tullamore?

    In case anyone else has to travel to St. Louis any time soon, I thought I'd loop back and share my experience. Because of where I stayed (Westport) and where I was working (Hazelwood) and my insane hours, I didn't eat out at all. Instead, I ordered ahead a week's worth of entrees and snacks from Beck's, a local gluten free bakery. It turned out to be reasonably...

    I thought I'd loop back and report on the food from my trip: Great meal at Jax - no dedicated menu, but the staff was pretty knowledgable and the kitchen seemed to understand. I was in a situation where I wasn't comfortable playing 20 questions with the waitress, and I was fine. I was surprised, however, that she told me that chocolate malt flavored...

    I will be traveling to St. Louis next month for business. I would appreciate any and all suggestions for gluten-free eating in the area...and tips on places where people haven't had the best experiences. I'm usually in a hurry, but otherwise, I'm open to trying almost anything. Thanks!

    I will be traveling to Boulder, CO next month on business, and would appreciate any and all information on restaurants to visit or to avoid. I am not a picky or sophisticated eater - ie I'll eat almost anything, but it need not be facny - but I'm usually in a hurry. Thanks!

    I was on United and was on the corridor next to the one with Caterina's - gates 70-77. I think in the corridor with gates 60-69, I saw Continental and United, but I also wasn't really paying attention.

    I was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions on how they handle family holidays with non-gluten-free family? I had a rough christmas with my husband's extended family. The family is receptive to my food issues, but we asked them to not try to make a gluten free meal. (I have bad anxiety about food -unless I can read all the labels, I freak out...

    Just a head's up after an awesome discovery I made yesterday at LAX when trying to find something safe to eat for lunch. Caterina's (I might have that slightly misspelled) at LAX (what appears to be a candy store from the outside, in the corridor for Gates 60-69) carries a large number of allergy-friendly products, including gluten free cookies, Allergaroos...

    Susie, Sorry it took me a few days to loop back. Would you mind giving me two or three places that you like going to the best and have had good experiences at? I am still pretty new to this and have had some bad experiences at restaurants, so places that have been test driven and have reasonably knowledgable staff (or where I have one or two dishes that...
