For gluten-free foodies, The Little Beet is a gluten-free haven in Washington DC. This New York City export is 100% gluten-free, and promises seasonal fare, farm-to-table ingredients, and peace of mind when dining out. Since my first review of The Little Beet, their menu and options have changed enough to warrant an updated blog post. The menu has been reorientated around design-your-own bowls, with a rice, grains, or salad as […]
One of my favorite places to visit in Washington D.C. is the Washington National Cathedral. The grounds around the nation’s spiritual home are incredibly serene and the interior of the cathedral is magnificent featuring intricate carvings, beautiful stained glass, and an incredible history that is entwined with some of the most notable events and people of the 20th and 21st centuries. The National Cathedral tops the list of places I take out-of-town visitors, […]
One of my favorite places to go in Washington DC is the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Whether I go for a quick visit or spend the whole day there, I love the thrill of seeing animals from around the world up close and personal. The best thing about the National Zoo is that it is completely free to enter 364 days a year (they are closed on Christmas Day). Located in the […]
When people ask me for restaurant recommendations in Washington D.C., Busboys and Poets is usually my first suggestion because it has a perfect trifecta of great food, friendly staff, and an great line up of programs that inspire conversation and connection. Although I have frequented Busboys and Poets several times for lunch and dinner, I have yet to visit for brunch, so I was sure to put it at the top […]
After a successful visit to Veloce, a fast casual pizza place in Farragut Square neighborhood (see my review), I knew a visit to Pizzeria Paradiso was in order to try out their original pizzeria concept. One unique thing about Pizzeria Paradiso is that they place the emphasis on perfecting their pizza crust. As a gluten-free diner, I’m used to soggy, sad, and altogether subpar crusts, so I definitely had some […]
Barbecue can be difficult to navigate for people with food allergies. With sauces, rubs, spices, and meats that are all at risk for hidden gluten (or other allergens), I have had limited luck in finding safe BBQ. When walking around Penn Quarter, Hill Country Barbecue Market caught my eye because they always seem to be busy. I did some research, which suggested that they were pretty gluten-free friendly, so decided to […]
This post features menus for Hill Country Barbecue Market. To check out my full review, click here. This post features th Barbecue can be hit or miss for those of us with dietary restrictions. With hidden ingredients in meats and sauces, plus an emphasis on cornbread and other glutenous sides, I’ve had limited success in finding safe BBQ to try. When walking up the restaurant-dense 7th St corridor in D.C. one […]
Although I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, there are times when I don’t always eat as many nutrient-rich foods as I could. That’s why I am a big fan of smoothie/acai bowls, which pack nutrition into every spoonful. Jrink is a juice shop here in Washington D.C. that has several locations around the city. I’ve passed by their locations before but for one reason or another did not stop in […]
For a city with such a rich and diverse array of culinary options, there’s are surprisingly few dedicated gluten-free bakeries here in Washington D.C. I know several popular bakeries around town offer gluten-free options, but cross contamination concerns and finding gluten and dairy-free options has made me steer clear of those popular places. While enjoying brunch on the busy 7th St restaurant-dense corridor last weekend though, I decided to pop […]
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 […]
