Burrito Brothers Review

After a disastrous turn of events that would have stranded me at the Atlanta airport for hours on end, I decided to jump in the car and drive back to Orlando with my mom and fly out of MCO the next morning.  During our six hour drive, we made plans to stop in Gainesville, which is a town I have not checked out yet as a blogger.  As I searched for […]

Tucson Tamale Company Review

Tamales hold a special place in my foodie heart because they are naturally gluten-free and are endlessly versatile in regards to toppings.  Last month at the Natural Products Expo East, I discovered the Tucson Tamale company, whose diverse line of tamales are all gluten-free. Unfortunately, only one tamale they were sampling was both gluten and dairy-free (the blue corn and veggie) at the show. When Tucson Tamale Company reached out offering to send me a wider […]

Bartaco Review

Living in Baltimore, I get to jump over to Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia pretty regularly. However, I recently had the opportunity to travel south to Atlanta, which meant a return to a city I visited two years ago. Because of the change in scenery, I definitely did not want to eat at familiar chains I’ve seen in Baltimore. To find restaurants to try, I try to stick to cuisines that are gluten-free friendly.  Bartaco caught […]

2016 Expo East: Meals & Beverages

After recapping the sweets that topped the charts for me, let’s switch gears a bit and focus on more savory, sustaining options.  This review focuses on the meals (or substantial meal components) and beverages that stood out from the pack. As someone who is always on the go, I really appreciate […]

Rosa Mexicano Review

For anyone who has followed my blog for any length of time, it’s clear that I totally have a soft spot for tacos, and Mexican cuisine in general. While in D.C. before heading back to school in Baltimore, I pinpointed Rosa Mexicano on my must-see list, right up there with the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Air and Space Annex (both must see destinations in the city). Rosa Mexicano is an upscale […]

Black Rooster Taqueria Review

With a little over a week and a half to spend in Orlando, I had the horrible dilemma of choosing between returning to my favorite restaurants in the city or scoping out new eats, which made each meal I ate out higher stakes than usual.  Topping the restaurants on my to-try list was Black Rooster Taqueria, a newcomer to the Mills district that promises contemporary tacos and an easy-to-navigate menu for […]

Toloache Review

My first day in in New York City promised to start with a bang because the time had finally come for my mom and I to see Hamilton, a show we’ve anticipated for months since buying tickets last year. After dropping our bags at our hotel, we headed to the theater for the impromptu ticket lottery pre-show (dubbed Ham4Ham).  Having a little over an hour between Ham4Ham and the matinee, […]

Mazunte Review

After a busy morning attending the Gluten-Free for Cincinnati Expo and visiting grocery wonderland Jungle Jim’s (see that recap here), my mom and I were hungry, but could not really articulate what we were hungry for. After all the carb and sugar-heavy fare at the expo l knew I wanted real food, so I turned to my Find Me Gluten-Free app to see what peaked my interest. From the list […]

Nada Review

After a week of foodie adventures and fun in North Carolina for the first part of my spring break, I now begin the second leg of my journey- Ohio. Flying from Charlotte to Cincinnati to visit my grandparents, I couldn’t wait to get my second chance to explore around the city and see what delicious eats I could find (see past reviews from Cincinnati here). Arriving mid-day, I searched for […]
