    The more authentic the Mexican food the safer it is. Most of the food is corn-masa based -no flour.

    I had a gluten-free burger with bun and veggies. I think here in Texas, they use the same gluten-free buns they have at Saltgrass. They are delicious. I'm not sure about elsewhere.

    It would be depressing walking into a Dunkin Donuts and walking out with oatmeal, even if it was certified gluten free lol.

    I live in Houston and travel around Texas frequently. I have family in Austin and I would agree Austin is the top spot for Gluten-free dining. There are options in more place than not! Its a bit surreal at first since we are always second class citizens everywhere else. Everyone in Austin is so accommodating and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions...

    Probably because the bun is wrapped in plastic, KarenG.

    I had the gluten free bun this weekend in North Houston and I was pleasantly surprised. Its surely not the BEST gluten-free bun I've ever had but it emulated the original Chick-fil-A bun fairly well. The bun is the biggest gluten-free I've ever had, however. I know they do prepare the meal separately and bring you the buns in a plastic bag and I...

    Yeah most of their locations offer gluten free buns and will grill on a dedicated grill. Their gluten-free hamburger bread is really good overall, although they don't offer the hotdog buns as they did for a while, which is a bummer.

    I had really good gluten-free Mickey Mouse waffles at one of the imexpensive Disney non-resort hotels on the property . I believe it was the Doubletree.

    Denny's has a gluten free English Muffins now. It's no pancake, but it's great to have an additional option on the plate from a national chain.

    gluten-free for 5 years now and I still get the Niacin flush if I take Niacin. First time I took the supplement I thought my head was going to explode and felt like I was turning into the Red Hulk.

    ARCHIVED Mexican?

    mateo2099 replied to cwnhokie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Good point. I've found a few places that add Soy Sauce to their beef marinade. Same with adding flour to their corn masa. The more Americanized the Mexican restaurant, the worse off you probably will be. Conversely, the more traditional, the better off you'll be (wouldn't be caught dead putting flour tortilla in a taco, or using cheese in a taco, either...

    ARCHIVED Mexican?

    mateo2099 replied to cwnhokie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Resident Tex-mexican here! Depending on the severity of his allergy, if cross contamination is an issue, you are going to have to find a Mexican restaurant that actually has a gluten free menu. Depending on your location, that may be near impossible or very easy to do. That being said, if cross contamination is not an issue, most real Mexican food is corn...

    Mine would be Saltgrass Steakhouse. They even have gluten-free bread for free before your meal comes out. Second choice would be Johnny Carino's - There menu is huge. Much better variety than Carrabas and they have really good gluten-free pasta.
  14. mateo2099
    Still no gluten free pasta. I don't understand the concept of Italian food restaurants with a gluten free menu that don't offer gluten-free pasta. Its insane. I like their Chicken Bryan entree, but with so many other gluten-free Italian options out there, I rarely frequent Carrabbas anymore.

    ARCHIVED Pizza Hut

    mateo2099 replied to kittty's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Gluten free pizza is coming to the US from Pizza Hut but I still do not believe it is 100% for Celiac sufferers, although it is supposed to be a better grade than Dominos (bread is made by Udi's and the ingredients are kept separate from their main stock). I don't know why any Celiac sufferer would even be surprised they ended up sick off a Dominos...

    I'll have to get that cookbook. I've actually just recently started baking my own biscuits and have finally gotten a really decent mix. I use Pioneer brand country gravy instead of mixing it myself but its not bad at all. As for pancakes and french toast and waffles and the like, I mastered those long ago lol. But sometimes I am lazy and would love to...
  17. mateo2099
    I prefer Saltgrass Steakhouse - they even have gluten free bread before your meal comes out.
  18. mateo2099
    Just to second what everyone else has said - I think we all loathe hearing we have to omit sauces or bread or whatever makes the item that item. I for one, don't believe a burger without bread is a burger. It's a slab of meat. Also, if there is a Mexican dish or Mexican styled dish, have options for corn tortillas. Another big pet peeve is restaurants...
  19. mateo2099
    This MexiCAN just eats corn tortillas. Much easier than trying to replicate flour tortillas.
  20. mateo2099
    Nearly forgot Russos New York Pizzaria and most of the Landrys branded restaurants have a separate menu or will accommodate (Saltgrass has a good menu). Hate to be a troll but I don't care for gluten-free Nation's products. A few stores carries Sami's breads and products but I think they are shipped in from FL. They have a better bread than even Udis.
  21. mateo2099
    I'd recommend Fuddrucker, Pei Wei, Ruggles Green, Spaghetti Warehouse downtown, Katz Deli (New menu), El Tiempo Cantina, Glazed the Donut Cafe and Johnny Carinos to name a few.
  22. mateo2099
    Fuddruckers and Saltgrass has a much better gluten-free burger.I don't go to Red Robin anymore.
  23. mateo2099
    I ate at Pepper mill A LOT. Had no issues but I'm sure cross contamination risks are high there.
  24. mateo2099
    Spaghetti Warehouse just unrolled a gluten free menu that includes gluten-free Pasta. I have to say Johnny Carino's is my favorite Italian because there is some many gluten-free options - even pizza!
  25. mateo2099
    Johnny Carino's gluten-free menu is so much better. They have several pasta options with a variety of plates, and even gluten-free pizza for the kids. They are light-years ahead of the abysmal taste and selection of Olive Garden.
