I love SanJ--it's what they use at my local PF Changs. At one visit there, the chef came out and gave me a brand new bottle of it to take home
Glad you were able to find it, David.
Ken--my bottle says "brewed in Richmond, Virginia".
PF Changs? Are ALL PF Changs using gluten free soy sauce? I haven't been able to enjoy chinese food since I was diagnosed and I miss it sooooo much!

I'm so glad to hear that Hershey Chocolate Syrup is Gluten Free! I've been staying away from it because it says 'artificial flavor' on the label and I thought I had to stay away from anything that said that. I've just recently been diagnosed with Coeliac and have found out a lot of info today.
Do any of you know whether the Mocha drinks at Starbuck's are gluten free? I asked one of the managers and we looked on the ingredients of the syrup and it said that there are 'artificial flavors' in it so I've been abstaining from my Mocha's. They told me I could bring my own syrup if I wanted to.
Elevation Burger Not Gluten-Free
in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Posted
I had been told that Elevation Burger was gluten-free as long as you ordered your burger with a lettuce wrap instead of a bun and that the fries are gluten-free just as they are.
I went to a new Elevation Burger in Tysons Corner Mall in Virginia and observed the preparation of the burgers. I was horrified at what I saw! They were warming the buns on top of the iron plates that they were cooking the burgers on! Then they would use the same spatula to take the bun off the plate that they used to take the burgers off the plates. Cross contamination all over the place! When I asked if they had a separate area where they could prepare burgers for folks who needed to stay gluten-free they told me that they did not and that it would probably be best not to eat there if I was that sensitive.
So -- I tried the Elevation Burger in Falls Church today. They have a separate grill for the burgers then they do for the buns ... or so I thought. I don't know where the gluten came from but within 25 minutes of leaving the restaurant I was racing for a bathroom!
These two Elevation Burger places should be avoided at all costs by Celiacs! I am so disappointed. I have worked so hard to stay gluten-free for 3 years now and all the work I've done has now been completely undone in one sitting. :-( So, so, so sad.
