    The difference is the use of a single family versus a mass-serving restaurant chain. I would imagine they have found that the average worker has less of a chance to screw the product up when they have a "crisp-enhancer" like flour in use. Remember, these are 16 year old kids doing the frying -- you have to make it easy for the product to be consistent...

    Its also important to realize that a number of Celiacs also have "nightshade intolerance", which prohibits another genre of food, including potatoes. I had a friend in San Diego with Celiac and Nightshade Intolerance. Poor girl had even less options than we do... She couldn't do french fries ( although I do think she made sweet potato fries)...

    Ironically, I think Outback has one of the larger Gluten Free Menus - they have like 20 things for us!! Rache, Do you live West of Pittsburgh? These restarants all have gluten-free menus: Wendy's Arby's Carrabas PF changs In Pittsburgh, you can go to Mitchell's Fish Market and ask the chef for gluten free options. How far from Pittsburgh...

    Vyder, Note the phrases in my earlier post "at least the ones I have been to in Vegas" "The decision is up to each individual Celiac" "In my opinion" these terms are based on my observations and experience and not definitive or all-encompassing. Sorry to hear about your boy's experience, but my comments should not be read to influence...

    Richard, I suppose my issue (along with dedicated fryers) is the manner in which the cooked product is stored. Frequently (if not all the time), the fries at BK are stored "with" the onion rings. Furthermore, BK employees always use the same "Scooper" to scoop the fries and the onion rings. This is why I do not eat the fries there. At Mc D's (except...

    Luv, check out BW3's sauces Open Original Shared Link I buy the Spicy Garlic, the Mild, the Medium and the Sweet BBQ all the time. The Teriaki is not gluten-free and one other one (I can't remember)

    Nad, Hebrew National Hot Dogs are gluten-free. I think Ball Park and Oscar Meyer are also gluten-free....

    Richard, I normally agree with everything you say, but I have not yet found a BK that has dedicated fryers -- everyone that I have been too mixes the onion rings and their gluten-filled hash browns in the same fryer... Did you get a response from the corporate office on that one? Bronco

    "Can't believe I forgot to mention my *all-time* favorite. McDonald's BIG-MAC. I used to order 2 + chicken nuggets." Rachel, you look like a petite girl......2 Big Macs and Chicken Nuggets???? I wish I had your metabolism...WOW!!

    Well, From a culinary perspective, the dusting of flour accomplishes a few things -- it enhances presentation, it enables the product to hold seasoning in the flour crust, it also enables the chef to pinpoint when an item may be cooked thorughally (look at the breading) and it assists texture. Chciken wings are almost never safe in a restaurant if they...

    A Grilled Cheese sandwich that tastes like a grilled cheese sandwich KFC Fried Chicken (I know, its stupid, but I miss it) Southern Buttermilk Biscuits and Gravy Garlic Bread Cheesy Garlic Bread Chex Mix Buttery Rolls Krisy Kreme Donuts Burritos Pizza (Papa Johns) or Marions/Cassano's in Dayton, Ohio (SIGH.....

    I have never encountered an actual orange juice that had gluten in it (besides the rumors of Tropicana's regular concentrated OJ) I drink Tropicana Pur Premium or Simply Orange, or Kroger's brand (Hey, I will sacrifice quality when they are like $1.00 a bottle) Simply Orange is the greatest (and one of the most expensive) Florida's Natural tastes...

    Sweetiegirl, Try this link... www.csaceliacs.org/forms/CafeteriaStaff.pdf If it makes you feel better, life with Celiac gets better in College (I know that is a ways away, but take comfort that our "challenge" gets easier as life goes on). People are more mature in college (and life in general as you get older). Furthermore, the...

    Its so hard for these companies to make soft, moist bread and good, tasty crackers without gluten Darn you gluten!!!!!!!!! Ok, I feel better.... I actually liked the "Crunch toons" -- used to put them in my soups and salads...

    Spitzer, Could it have been the tortilla chips? Were they fried in the same fryer as wheat tortillas or other wheat products?

    As bad as it sounds, I did not think some items had gluten in them until a year after diagnosis: Corn Muffins Corn Bread Oatmeal I think what the company did is good (legal and in general) It doesn't offend me when folks are trying to look out for my well-being. Remember, many people have horrible doctors, nutritionists, and get bad advice...

    Here is what you should avoid: 1. Soy Sauce 2. Anything fried or "Tempura" 3. Anything with Eel or Mackerel (unless you can be convinced they have not put soy sauce on it) 4. Anything with crab (unless you can be assured it ir real crab -- this normally happenes at really expenisive places -- 90% of sushi places have fake or gluten-filled imitation...

    I lost 20-30 pounds after I was diagnosed. It is possible to be gluten intolerant and not have celiac disease -- some of us think it is actually more common than celiac disease, but not diagnosed... Two-cents...

    The veined cheese arguments is another one of those "trial and error" things. Here are the arguments: YES -- The yes people state that the bacteria used to make bleu cheese comes from moldy bread (which is accurate) -- the issue then becomes does the mnoldy bread infect the cheese? The yes people say it has to -- it is on the cheese and it did contain...

    LaurenJ, I just had the Whole Foods Butternilk Biscuits -- they were good (especially with butter!!) 1. Amy's Frozen Man N Cheese 2. Hebrew National Hot Dogs (Yum) 3. Tostitos and Melted Cheese Nachos 4. Applegate Farms Roast Beef 5. Real Mashed Potatoes (I make my own)

    I, like Richard, have never seen a balsamic vinegar that contained gluten (7 years). It is normally derived from grapes. The cheap stuff will have additives - the more expensive (normally the better) will not. Soy sauce is used commonly in salad dressing (even in non-asian restaurants). It is best to ask anyway (or bring your own)
