Barbecue can be difficult to navigate for people with food allergies. With sauces, rubs, spices, and meats that are all at risk for hidden gluten (or other allergens), I have had limited luck in finding safe BBQ. When walking around Penn Quarter, Hill Country Barbecue Market caught my eye because they always seem to be busy. I did some research, which suggested that they were pretty gluten-free friendly, so decided to […]
This post features menus for Hill Country Barbecue Market. To check out my full review, click here. This post features th Barbecue can be hit or miss for those of us with dietary restrictions. With hidden ingredients in meats and sauces, plus an emphasis on cornbread and other glutenous sides, I’ve had limited success in finding safe BBQ to try. When walking up the restaurant-dense 7th St corridor in D.C. one […]
Although I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, there are times when I don’t always eat as many nutrient-rich foods as I could. That’s why I am a big fan of smoothie/acai bowls, which pack nutrition into every spoonful. Jrink is a juice shop here in Washington D.C. that has several locations around the city. I’ve passed by their locations before but for one reason or another did not stop in […]
For a city with such a rich and diverse array of culinary options, there’s are surprisingly few dedicated gluten-free bakeries here in Washington D.C. I know several popular bakeries around town offer gluten-free options, but cross contamination concerns and finding gluten and dairy-free options has made me steer clear of those popular places. While enjoying brunch on the busy 7th St restaurant-dense corridor last weekend though, I decided to pop […]
Although I consider myself to be pretty adventurous food-wise, I am ashamed to admit that I have a limited experience with Korean fare. In doing research to find new foodie spots to try, I stumbled across Mandu, a homestyle Korean restaurant that promised many gluten-free options. With many positive reviews and online menus indicating gluten-free awareness, Mandu has been on my list of places to try soon. Located in the […]
When I think of the Washington D.C. foodie scene, there are two things I know for sure: Washingtonians love to go brunching on the weekends; and Chef Jose Andres and his menagerie of restaurants are a hometown favorite. As a foodie with dietary restrictions, I have even more reason to love Andres’ restaurants beyond their creative menus and consistently delicious food because they across the board know how to accommodate food […]
This is a post featuring the allergen menus of China Chilcano. To read my full review, click here. As a Washington D.C.-based foodie, I am a huge fan of our hometown super chef Jose Andres. His restaurants are innovative, creative, and are consistently stellar when dealing with food allergies. With restaurants ranging from fast casual to high end, there’s a Jose Andres restaurant for any budget. Recently I decided to check out China Chilcano, Andres’ restaurant […]
Summer is in full swing, which means that I’m trying to seek out as much fun in the sun as I can before I have to go back to school. As a fan of the performing arts, I started the summer with a list of performances and venues around the Washington D.C. area I wanted to check out and Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts topped that list. Located in […]
Since purchasing a high-powered smoothie blender several months ago, I have cut down on ordering smoothies when dining out. Most store-made ones have sky-high sugar levels, and I like to control what goes into my custom blends. I have had South Block on my list of places to try for months now, and when I was in the neighborhood of Union Market, I decided to stop in and give them a try. […]
If there is one down side to working on the National Mall, it’s that gluten-free food options are pretty scarce or quite a few blocks away. Because of the heat and humidity of summer in Washington D.C., I find the idea of a long walk for lunch rather unappetizing. After talking with colleagues, I have heard some pretty amazing things about Mitsitam, the museum cafe at the National Museum of […]
