    We are good with fall weather and chilly I am sick of hot here in Louisville! I found out about that restaurant, mommida -- I'm just hoping since they says it's seasonal that it's still open when we are there. I love the idea of vegan soup in a gluten-free bread bowl! I also hate being in a panic over something to eat. I'm planning to pack a few...

    Mommida or anyone else who has been there recently - Did it look like there was an intersection of vegetarian and gluten free dishes on the gluten-free menus at Mackinac Island? We are planning a trip to Charlevoix and wanting to do a day trip to Mackinac Island, but it will make me sad if there's nothing I can eat. We've found a couple of places with...

    Bionaturae is, I think.

    I haven't had to have my Target pharmacy check for gluten yet, but I have been very pleased with their service. The pharmacist knows her customers by name, and they are always very nice and helpful. I'll have to get them to add that note to my file. When I asked about it the last time I got something filled at Walgreens they looked at me like I was crazy...

    Annie May's Sweet Cafe is a bakery that will ship gluten-free bread and buns. Their bread is delicious. Never had a bad thing from there. You can get doughnuts and cookies, mixes to make bread/pancakes/waffles/pizza at home, all homemade.

    Yes, it won't be the same as gluteny bread, no matter what. When I first went gluten-free, I bought brown rice bread and thought it was just okay, not the best, so I froze the rest of the loaf. Now, coming back to it after 5 months, it actually tastes pretty good and I like it. So I think it's just a matter of tastes changing and letting go of the "want"...

    Meijer carries them in MI/OH/IN/IL/KY

    When we had my mother-in-law's birthday party, my husband and I volunteered to bring the cake. We got a gluten-free & vegan cake from an awesome bakery (the same one who made my bday cake last year) and took it, and everyone loved it. This could be a good strategy for family events.

    You're very welcome -- I've been struggling with this myself and was just sharing what I have found so far. I forgot to mention Franklin Farms -- no crumbles, but good burgers and veggieballs for spaghetti or subs. I LOVE the veggieballs with some marinara on a Schar sub roll topped with mozzarella (vegan Daiya in my case).

    This also makes it difficult for those who are intolerant or not formally diaganosed and choose to eat as if they were celiac -- no cheating, avoiding CC, etc. It becomes an issue of "Well, so-and-so eats just a little bit on occasion, so surely it'll be okay for your too." I know my body well enough now to know that it is not okay for me. I don't understand...

    Sol Cuisine makes a lot of gluten-free meatless products, and one of them is crumbles, though none of the stores around here have that particular variety. The sausage patties and tofu ribs are good though. Beyond Meat is fairly new and is a gluten free chickenless strip that comes in 3 flavors. Sunshine Burgers are gluten free. Earth Fare has a store...

    I totally don't understand people asking for a bite of someone else's food. I mean, it's one thing if you are offering someone a bite, but to actually ask someone else if you can sample something they are already eating? I feel like that's rude. I can't say it's something that has ever crossed my mind to ask someone. I haven't really had this exact situation...

    I have the best luck when I find local places with gluten free menus or menu items. They're the ones that get it better than the chains. I think it's probably because it's hard for a chain with a few thousand locations to maintain a consistent level of quality and service, especially when it comes to something like a gluten free menu. One location might do...

    I don't think you stabbed anyone in the back by choosing Applebee's...you are learning and you learned something there, no? That's what matters.

    Right, the cornmeal can still be milled or packaged on the same equipment that wheat or a mix containing wheat was previously packaged on, which would be the reason for the allergy statement. But as I understand it, a statement for a shared line is not required, so it's possible it could be made on a shared line and not stated on the package. Bob's Red...

    My main concern with a cornmeal not labeled gluten-free would be the possibility of it being made on a shared line, which I don't think the manufacturer is required to disclose. That's probably why the others had allergy statements involving wheat.

    I broke up with Applebee's a long time ago when I went vegan...long before going gluten-free. Not much on their menu for a vegan to eat, much less gluten-free too.

    I would definitely put a lid on my tea if there is flour being used. You could also have it on your hands and be getting it in your mouth by touching your face.

    ARCHIVED Five Guys

    karichelle replied to Jewels50's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Five Guys gets mystery shopped quite often, and they pay a firm to do this because they care about quality and certain procedures being followed in ALL of their restaurants. Corporate is legitimately concerned about the customer experience at their restaurants.

    Thank you so much for this tip! I enjoyed the Light Peach Mango Daiquiri last night.
  21. karichelle
    Maybe corn?

    No restaurant that is serving gluten containing products can TRULY be gluten free -- there will always be a chance for cross contamination.

    I'm almost afraid to go to Starbucks anymore because they don't want to give a straight answer on what drinks contain gluten and which ones don't -- they always give this canned response about not being able to state their drinks are gluten-free because of the pastry case. I get that there is a pastry case, but I'm not asking if CC can be 100% avoided, I...

    What are you eating differently when you are eating gluten free? Are you eating lots of empty-caloried gluten-free processed products? Or are you continuing to eat whole grains, just of the gluten free variety, along with a balanced diet?

    I haven't tried the Canyon Bakehouse bread but the hamburger buns were REALLY good. The best gluten-free one I've had. Our Walmart has recently started carrying the CB breads on a wire rack next to the gluten-free section in the baking aisle.
