Seoul Spice Review

In light of the ongoing devastation of the coronavirus epidemic, it’s more important than ever to support restaurants and companies that cater to gluten-free diners. Covid-19 considerations or not, being a gluten-free diner can be challenging, so any eatery or product that makes life more navigable to those of us with dietary restrictions are the MVPs of every community.  One stalwart in my community of Washington, DC is Seoul Spice, the 100% gluten-free […]

Bangkok Joe's Review

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 […]

ROLLN Review

After all these years of being gluten-free, it still amazes me when I discover new restaurants where I can (safely) experience a cuisine for the first. Such is the case with ROLLN, a New York City sushi restaurant that recently made the bold and brave decision to go completely gluten-free.   Other than a few one-off occasions of trying sushi (I’m looking at you Wegmans), I have largely avoided seeking […]

Pho Review (UK)

On my final night in London, I knew I wanted to lay low and have a low-key night after nonstop sightseeing for a full week. With an late afternoon flight back home to DC the next day, I wanted to use the evening to pack and get situated to make sure my travel to London Heathrow Airport went as smoothly and stress-free as possible. In looking for soothing, safe places to […]

Friedmans Review (Dinner)

Knowing that a work trip would bring me to New York City for several days, I decided to make the most of the opportunity and built in time for exploring the city a day before my official duties started.  Of course if I can make it happen, seeing a Broadway or off-Broadway show is a must do for any New York City visit, and this trip was no different. With tickets […]

Bibibop Asian Grill Review

Update 4/18/2: Since my initial review, Bibibop Asian Grill has gone 100% gluten-free. Stay tuned for an updated review coming soon! More info about the menu changes can be found here. Although I am by no means a big fan of sports, there’s something about the Olympic Games that gets me really excited every two years. This year, the Winter Games are taking place in the South Korean city of […]

PekoPeko Ramen Review

In Baltimore’s Charles Village/Homewood neighborhood near Johns Hopkins University, there have been many welcome additions on the foodie scene in the recent year: Honeygrow, Bird in Hand (coffeeshop), and now PekoPeko Ramen. As a college student who’s also a foodie, I totally appreciate that these eateries serve great food, have a welcoming vibe, and are affordable for dining out when I want something that’s  On a recent blustery, chilly Sunday, […]

Mandu Review

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 […]

China Chilcano Review

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 […]

China Chilcano Allergy Menus

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 […]
