Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
The cruel thing about being gluten-free is not only that forever alters your sense of “normal” for baked goods and other wheat-based products, but it turns every dining experience into a research project, with serious sleuthing skills required before crossing a restaurant or cafe’s threshold. Gone are the days where stopping by for a sandwich or sitting down for a dinner can be done on a whim. However at one […]
Although I see an abundance of food trucks all over DC, very few are gluten-free friendly. Cooking in such close corners is certainly not conducive to avoiding cross-contact with wheat, barley, and rye, so the only food trucks I trust are ones that are 100% free from gluten. While attending the opening festival of the Kennedy Center’s new expansion, I was thrilled to discover a new-to-me food truck that fit the bill with […]
One of the greatest things about summer in DC is the abundance of street markets and farmers markets that pop up throughout the city. We’re truly spoiled for choice, and every weekend presents a new opportunity to explore each of DC’s eight wards. Although it opened this spring to much fanfare, until now I haven’t stopped by one of DC’s newest food-centered markets: Smorgasburg. Setting up every Saturday in the Navy Yard’s […]
This summer, most of my blogging bandwidth has been taken up by playing catch up to recap all the wonderful eats I found in London and Paris this summer. With that adventure in the books and September already upon us (already?), I’m looking forward to getting back to my mission to find the best gluten-free eats in and around Washington, DC. Topping the list of places I wanted to check out […]
In exploring around London, I marvel at the sheer variety and abundance of gluten-free options on offer. I don’t think I could ever run out of restaurants and cafes to try, and it’s truly the most gluten-free friendly city I’ve visited in all my travels. On my last night on holiday, I made reservations at Indigo at One Aldwych, a completely gluten and dairy-free restaurant that serves up fare inspired by […]
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Especially during a summer heatwave, there’s no better way to cool off than with ice cream or a milkshake. Unfortunately, the fact that it is traditionally dairy-based and chock full of other allergens means that too often those of us with dietary restrictions are left out from enjoying this simple treat. Luckily, there’s a little shop in London that is […]
If I’m being honest (pun intended), my standards for dining out at a burger restaurant are pretty high. Not only do I look for gluten-free and allergen-awareness, my decision to dine out at such a restaurant is contingent on two important factors: do they have gluten-free buns (as assessed from others’ reviews) and do they have a dedicated fryer? After all, what fun is it to go out and eat burgers […]
As I was researching gluten and dairy-free eats to make a list of not-to-be-missed places in London, the majority of my leads came from Instagram, where over the course of planning two holidays I’ve followed quite a few London and UK-based bloggers and companies. One such small business is Borough 22, whose eye-catching array of gluten-free and vegan doughnuts had me dreaming of them from across the pond. I definitely […]
One of the most amazing things about visiting London is that not only is the city jam-packed with extraordinary things to do, see, and eat, but it’s a day tripper’s dream, with so many cool towns and cities only a few hours away by road or rail. Inspired by binge watching the Anglo-French television drama The Tunnel and buoyed by a couple years of high school French (aided by Duolingo), I […]
When I decided to book a second holiday to London this year and locked in my end-of-July timeframe, one of the top points on my itinerary was a tour of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace. Only open during the summer and select dates throughout the year, I was excited to get a glimpse behind the elaborate gates to see a palace steeped in history, but is also a modern, working […]
