Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
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 […]
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 […]
There’s so many great places to grab an affordable gluten-free lunch in Washington D.C. that it’s totally an embarrassment of riches. The only downside is that most lunch places open up around the lunch hour. While this makes logical sense, I like being able to pick something up on my way into work so that I can have food on hand if my coworkers want to go out to a non-gluten-friendly place […]
If there’s one restaurant trend I can wholeheartedly get behind, it’s the proliferation of fast casual “make your own bowl” restaurants that have popped up in and around Washington D.C. They make grabbing an affordable, healthy lunch easy, and coming many culinary varieties- Mediterranean, Indian, Korean, and more. The latest of these type of restaurants I visited is SKWR Kabobline in downtown D.C. Offering a gourmet take on a street vendor staple- […]
As I wrap up my time in Baltimore (for now) I made one final foodie stop before heading out of town at BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse in Towson. I have heard for awhile that BJ’s has lots of gluten-free options so I decided it was finally time to check them out. This BJ’s is part of the new Towson Square development, which features restaurants, a huge movie theater, and tons of shopping nearby at […]
One of the truly great things about Washington D.C. is that you can find just about any type of food from around the world here. I love any type of non-American food (and it’s usually more gluten-free friendly), but until recently have not sought out Thai food in the District. Thai food is my favorite of the Asian cuisines because it is just so flavorful and comforting. I love curries […]
As a busy college student, time for cooking elaborate, healthy meals is hard to find sometimes. Between school, work, and interning, sometimes I need a quick meal to fill me up and fuel several hours’ worth of activity. To do this, I often turn to frozen meals, which often have less than stellar nutritional and taste profiles. They’re quick and easy, but less than satisfying. However, when shopping at Mom’s Organic Market, […]
As a gluten-free eater, I am always in search of better sandwich breads, because gluten-free breads in general tend to have a lot to improve on. Whether it’s a tiny size, crumbly consistency, or holes that take up a good part of the slice, gluten-free bread has gotten a bad rap for being subpar in every aspect to gluten-full breads. When La Brea Bakery reached out to me with an offer to […]
R. House in Baltimore’s Remington neighborhood is quickly becoming my favorite place in the city. There’s so many gluten-free options and the vibe is absolutely perfect and foodie-centric. Especially on weekends, it’s nice to be around the hustle and bustle of the diverse crowd and take advantage of dining al fresco. Although I have visited R. House a couple of times, I have totally walked by Amano Taco without realizing that it’s […]
One of my favorite restaurant trends in recent years has been the abundance of fast-casual lunch places that offer affordable, healthy food that can be customized to dietary restrictions and preferences. The latest of these type of restaurants on my radar is Chopt, a salad-focused eatery that promises “farm-to-fast food” eats that are anything but boring. Chopt utilizes farm-fresh ingredients that are locally sourced, which means that their food packs a nutritional punch. […]
