Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
When it comes to dining out, I disproportionately go for lunches and dinners rather than breakfasts, especially in DC. It’s not that I’m not an early riser (which I am), it’s that too often gluten and dairy-free options on a breakfast menu are so limited I’m stuck with very few options that don’t exactly translate to something I can’t make at home (such as omelets). In looking for brunch options […]
Whether you are a city person or prefer wide, open spaces, living in or around DC offers the best of all worlds because there are so many places and geographies to explore within a reasonable distance of the Distract’s boundaries. In light of the almost-spring-like temperatures we’ve had of late, my dad and I decided to take a short trek up to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to take in the historic battlefields […]
While I wait in eager anticipation for Sweet Crimes’ 100% gluten-free bakery to open in the Capitol Hill neighborhood this year, the next best thing is their ongoing popup at Ice Cream Jubilee’s storefront on bustling 14th Street in Washington, DC. I fell in love with their irresistible, fresh-fried donut holes at the Navy Yard foodie-emporium Smorgasburg last year (read my review). In this popup iteration, they’ve expanded the amount of […]
My absolute favorite place to eat in Baltimore is R House, the Remington food hall that has loads of gluten-free options and is a short walk away from my favorite museum in the city: the Baltimore Museum of Art. While R House is home to several stands that have been there for years, what’s cool is that every time you visit odds are there’s something new to try at the dedicated pop […]
Cementing January as a food-lover’s wonderland in this area, Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week was conveniently timed right on the heels of the Bethesda’s iteration. With so many great restaurants and tempting menus to choose from, I look forward to a perfect excuse to try restaurants that have been on my radar awhile but I just haven’t stopped by yet. Karma Modern Indian certainly falls into this category. Located in the Chinatown area […]
At last year’s Washington DC Gluten-Free Expo, the most exciting piece of news to emerge from the event was that the DC area was getting its first dedicated gluten-free full service restaurant: Little Beet Table. A New York City export, Little Beet Table serves up seasonally inspired fare in the rare restaurant environment that is completely free from gluten. Not only can they cater to celiacs and other gluten-intolerant diners, they have […]
One of the best times of the year for DC-area foodies are local restaurant weeks, where DMV eateries roll out the red carpet and offer prix fixe menus that showcase seasonal flavors for a special price. I always keep a close eye to what’s on offer for restaurant weeks in Bethesda and DC, and when I spotted True Food Kitchen’s menus, I immediately made reservations. I’ve encountered True Food Kitchen once before, […]
As I mentioned in my last post, the dawning of a new year (and a new decade!) has prompted me to catch up with blog posts and reviews that have fallen to the wayside amidst the many December festivities I was juggling. As such, I’m happy to have finished this review so I can share one of the gluten-free gems I discovered in Philly last November. Though I’ve mentioned it in […]
I love the period of transition between one year to the next. There’s nothing more exciting than looking ahead to all the possibilities that await in the next 365 days and I relish the opportunity to reflect on the year that was and set goals for the coming year. As the new year has turned, I can’t quite begin with a clean slate yet because I have to wrap up a […]
It’s been three years since I last visited Philadelphia, which is honestly three years too long. Living in DC, it’s effortlessly easy to visit cities up and down the northeast via Amtrak, and after passing through Philly’s 30th Street Station so often on my way en route to New York City, I figured I was long overdue to alight at the city of brotherly love for a long weekend of exploration.
