Pearl #54: Gluten-free at Wrigley Field (Chicago) – UPDATED
UPDATE, SUMMER 2018: Big news!! All of the stars have aligned. Gluten-free hot dogs are BAAACK at Wrigley Field in Chicago! You can find GF hot dogs and GF buns at Marquee Classics, near Aisle 120. I’ve never been happier. I ate two last night. The GF hot dog is not listed on the menu…
Pearl #52: The Definitive Ranking of Gluten-Free Cheese Crackers
Pre-Celiac days, there’s nothing I loved more in the world than Cheez-Its. (Except Wheat Thins…but their name alone, by definition, rules out any possibility of finding acceptable GF substitutes, being they are literal Gluten Thins.) So I set off to find the next gluten-free Cheez-It. Having traveled the far corners of my grocery store, I…
Pearl #42: Gluten-free at Scooter’s Frozen Custard (Chicago)
Who doesn’t love frozen custard? If you hail from St. Louis, you’re all too familiar with Ted Drewes, the most delightful frozen custard on the planet (that’s actually a fact). One of the top 5 things since going gluten-free that I miss: the “Big Apple” from Ted Drewes – basically, a delicious slice of apple…
Pearl #24: Gluten-free at Holland House in Nashville
By now it’s no secret that I love food. So, as I mentioned in my gluten-free Nashville post, I researched the heck out of gluten-free restaurants in Nashville before our trip. Yes, even mapping out a gluten-free itinerary for the trip. Sorry, Ken…Did I work in tourist attractions to that itinerary? Not really. But hey,…
Pearl #22: Gluten-free in Nashville
So. It’s been a while since my last post, my apologies. I have been traveling like a mad-woman, and eating my way through it all. Which means lots of delicious blog posts coming up! Anyways, I went to Nashville a few weeks back on vacation, and totally loved it. How great is it that you…
Pearl #6: Gluten-free at Taste of St. Louis
It’s that time of the year again. A time when all food lovers get to stuff their face with delectable treats: Taste of St. Louis! Hooray. Last year’s Taste of St. Louis seemed to offer limited gluten-free options, but this year Taste and the vendors participating really stepped up their game. Kudos to those who…
Pearl #5: Gluten-free at Margaritaville Orlando
Margaritaville on the Orlando CityWalk was recommended to me by a friend as a great spot for gluten-free. After a long day of Harry Potter-ing at Islands of Adventure, the only question was: Margaritas? Yes, please. Lost shaker of salt? Duh. Margaritaville has a dedicated gluten-free menu, available on their website. Our server was wonderful…
Pearl #4: Gluten-free at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure
UPDATE: 11/17/13: I’ve had a few questions from people who have received information from employees at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that the butterbeer may not be gluten-free. To be safe, I emailed Food Services at Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, to confirm that the butterbeer AND butterbeer foam is gluten-free. Chef Bob Burdick…
Pearl #3: Gluten-free at Disney World
Ok. Let’s flash back to the last time I was at Disney of any sort (Disneyland). I was in 5th grade, rocking an awesome tie-dye shirt that matched the rest of my Girl Scout Troop and lookin’ pretty hot. Now flash forward a decade or so…the fam and I decided to take an impromptu trip…
