Noodle Charm Review

Having gone many months since my last encounter with Thai cuisine, I made a goal of seeking out my favorite dialect of Asian food this weekend as cooler temperatures called for comfort food. After considering the many Thai restaurants in and around the Baltimore area, I selected Noodle Charm as my intended destination as it is a sister restaurant to one I’ve already visited (Spice and Dice Thai) and nearby a bustling […]

ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen CLOSED

All ShopHouse locations are closed as of March 17, 2017. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought that ShopHouse Asian Kitchen was custom-designed for my quirky tastes and favorite flavors. After all, this restaurant, which is the brainchild of Chipotle founder Steve Ells, merges the brilliance of Chipotle’s commitment to accessible “food with integrity” with the rich culinary heritage of Asia all while serving up a menu that is […]

Side Trip: Anyetsang's Little Tibet Review and Anatolia Review (Bloomington, IN)

I firmly believe that colleges and good restaurants are like lightning and thunder; where one goes, the other is sure to follow. That is definitely true of Bloomington, IN, home of Indiana University and a plethora of restaurants and cafes serving up quality fare for hungry college students and locals alike. While the town is populated with restaurants of all stripes- family run establishments to national chains- I knew I […]

Side Trip: LaRosa's Pizza Review and The Green Papaya Review (Cincinnati, OH)

The People of Cincinnati are proud of their distinct culinary mainstays that have become world-renowned. Skyline’s chili, Graeter’s ice cream, Montomery Inn’s ribs and LaRosa’s pizza are just a handful of the tried and true companies that are pinnacles of the city’s taste. Having tried all of the above restaurants growing up in Ohio, I can testify to their greatness, but upon going gluten free almost three years ago, I […]

Spice and Dice Thai Review (Towson, MD)

Every good college town needs it’s restaurant staples and Towson/Baltimore is no different. From past experiences and doing some driving around, I already knew they had gluten-free friendly grocery stores (Whole Foods, Fresh Market, etc.), chain restaurants (Red Robin, Chipotle, Qdoba, etc.), and even a local pizza place that would deliver a gluten free pizza. One staple cuisine I was missing after a couple visits worth of exploring was a […]

Orchid Thai Review

As a food blogger, I keep a list of restaurants I want to visit in the future from friend’s recommendations and discovering new finds through databases and review sites such as Find Me Gluten Free. Though this has helped me break out of my mold and discover new restaurants, I’ve quickly realized that Central Florida has way more gluten-free friendly places than I first thought which has made my list […]

Evol Gluten and Dairy Free Entrees

In reading the packaging, as I often do when buying any new product, I really appreciated that Evol outlined their food philosophy right on the back. It feels good to know a company’s philosophy because it makes them stand out. Their foods are made with real ingredients which means that there are no hard-to-pronounce chemicals, antibiotics in meat, or GMOs. Also adding to their Earth-minded ethos, their products are packaged in recycled […]

Lotus Foods Rice Ramen Soup Review

As a soon-to-be “poor college student” I have come to realize that my days with little luxuries such as an elaborate home-cooked meal are now numbered. While I have high hopes that I’ll be able to work things out with the dining staff at my new school, I know that there will definitely be times when I need a quick and easy meal. For most teens, the obvious quick fix […]

Side Trip: Blue Moon Pizza, R Rice and Souper Jenny Review (Atlanta, GA)

Although I’m mainly Orlando-based, every so often, I get to travel around. Being a high school senior who has a complex medical condition, most of my recent travel has surrounded college visits or medical appointments out of town. Such is the case that brought me to Atlanta recently. This visit was of medical nature, which involved appointments and procedures- not fun. However, what softens the deal for me is finding […]

Tokyo Dining (Epcot) Review

There are very few restaurants that can create an experience that can transform an ordinary meal into an exotic escape into a foreign culture. Tokyo Dining at Walt Disney World’s Epcot park is a perfect example of this rare, but immersive experience.  Located in the Japan pavilion in the World Showcase, Tokyo dining is a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the park. To enter the restaurant, one checks […]
