Gluten-Free Friendly Black-Owned Businesses in the DC Area

At a national, regional, and local level, the last two weeks have unleashed a swirling storm of emotions: outrage, exhaustion, heartbreak, but also renewed hope the “more perfect union” generations of Americans have dreamed of can be realized. That can’t happen however, without the clear and unequivocal acknowledgement that Black Lives Matter. By typing, saying, or shouting those words in protest, millions across the country are uniting to reject the national paradigm that […]

North Market Pop Shop Review

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 […]

Stone's Throw Hash Review

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 […]

Little Beet Table Review

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 […]

True Food Kitchen Review

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, […]

Prima Review

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 […]

Carrol's Creek Cafe Review

Only a 45 minute drive from DC, Annapolis may be close in proximity but is a nice getaway from the city. I’ve only been to Annapolis once before back in 2015, so when my dad came to visit last month, I suggested the short drive over to this bayside city for a Saturday excursion. Of course anytime I visit another city, whether new-to-me or a familiar locale, a big part of any […]

The Red Bandana Bakery Review

If there’s one thing the world needs, it’s more dedicated gluten-free bakeries. These magical cafes are places where sweet and savory treats are in abundance and fear can be left at the doorstep. The latest gluten-free bakery to pop up in the DC region is The Red Bandana Bakery in Bethesda, MD. While not a newcomer by any means (they have been a Bethesda farmer’s market staple for years), their brick and mortar location […]

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, […]

El Gringo Baltimore Food Truck Review

One of my favorite things about living in Orlando a few years ago was enjoying the thriving food truck culture. It was fun to follow my favorite trucks to neighborhoods all around the city and I managed to find a handful of trucks that served up reliably gluten-free fare. Now that I live in Baltimore, my food truck wanderings are more limited, as I have struggled to find gluten-free safe […]
