DINING OUT WITH CELIAC
This
compilation of restaurants is offered by members of the Gluten Free Gang in good
faith. Please keep in mind that restaurant staff and suppliers frequently change
and that the individual restaurants on this list have not been evaluated by the
Gluten-Free Gang but by individuals whose concerns may vary; you are
encouraged to discuss your dietary needs with the servers, kitchen staff and/or
management.
For your
convenience we have divided the list into two sections. The first section
lists restaurants that provide a gluten free menu suggesting experience in
cooking and serving gluten free meals and that accommodating a gluten free diet
is a matter of formal policy as well as practice. The second section
contains restaurants that have provided gluten free meals to individuals in the
past. Their experience and knowledge of gluten free cooking may reflect
working with only a few patrons with Celiac and may be influenced by their level
of understanding or by other dietary concerns unrelated to Celiac.
Restaurants with a Gluten Free Menu available either on-line or those marked
with * are only available at the restaurants upon request:

Here is a
sample dining card text:
I have been medically diagnosed
with Celiac Disease.
I have
severe reactions to foods which contain wheat,
rye, barley, oats or their derivatives.
These may be contained in:
Tenderizers; Marinades;
Additives; Caramel Color; Dextrins; Emulsifiers; Flavorings; Hydrolyzed
Vegetable Protein; Modified Food Starch; Soy Sauce; Beer.
Food Preparation:
I must also be concerned with food preparation.
If my food contacts offending grains, it is
contaminated. Food cooked in the same fryer as breaded foods; meats
cooked on the same grill as buns, pancakes, etc. will cause a reaction.
Please use non-porous cookware (non-stick, stainless steel, or cast aluminum) or
place aluminum foil on the grill.
Among the many things that I
can eat are: corn, rice, potato, soy,
tapioca, arrowroot; nuts; most unprocessed fruits and vegetables; fresh chicken,
pork and fish; dairy products; seasonings such as salt, pepper, and pure spices
and herbs.
Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions regarding
the ingredients and/or preparation of my meal.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of my dietary
needs.
