Pearl #53: Gluten-free at Wheat’s End (Chicago)

Peeps! Let’s talk about Wheat’s End, in Lakeview! It’s fab. It’s 100% gluten-free. Go there! My friend Liz and I had brunch there a couple weeks back on a beautiful sunny Sunday. I’ve popped in a couple times over the past couple years to pick up goodies to go, but hadn’t physically sat down in…

NOW CLOSED – Pearl #46: Gluten-free at Bountiful Eatery (Chicago)

Bountiful Eatery. East Lakeview in Chicago. 100% gluten-free cafe. Now I can get down with that. And they have a ton of vegan options, too! Seriously, you should check this place out. The first time I stumbled across Bountiful Eatery, I legit could not decide what to get. I mean, they have wraps, soups, salads,…

Pearl #45: Gluten-free at Blue Door Farm Stand (Chicago)

September 14, 2014 by Kate 2 Comments

Pearl #45: Gluten-free at Blue Door Farm Stand (Chicago)

Adorbs. Blue Door Farm Stand, in Lincoln Park, is adorable and rustic and chic. If I had a quaint country farm home rather than a teeny tiny Chicago junior-one bedroom…that’s what it would ideally look like. In a perfect world, right? So Blue Door Farm Stand doesn’t have that many gluten-free options as compared to…

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 #38: Gluten-free at The Nest, St. Louis

Update, 7/27/14: The Nest has CLOSED permanently. — So The Nest. I just have to preface this post by saying…Ken is a very patient human in dealing with my GF quests and adventures. I had stumbled across the website of The Nest, in Frontenac, a couple months ago. After looking at their menu (which is…

Pearl #37: Gluten-free at New Day Gluten Free, Ellisville

Update as of 2020 – New Day Gluten Free is now closed 🙁 For the past couple years, I’ve bought New Day Gluten Free products from the grocery store, but a couple months back, I decided to take the plunge and eat at the Cafe, which is located in Ellisville. It was like finding the Gluten-Free…

Pearl #36: Gluten-free at Niche, St. Louis

Pearl #36: Gluten-free at Niche, St. Louis

After months and months of DYING to go to Niche, I made it there. It was basically everything I hoped it to be. A true foodie meal, and such a memorable experience. Incredibly unique and impeccable service. Gorgeous presentation and plating and excellent craft cocktails. But it was definitely bittersweet. Why? Well, originally, Ken and…

Pearl #35: Gluten-free at Bailey’s Chocolate Bar

Bailey’s Chocolate Bar has long been one of my faves for a date night or a girls’ night. I went there over the holidays with my good friend Molly who was visiting from NYC, her cousin Kelly and their two friends. It was a crowded night, but we apparently had that perfect party size, because…

Pearl #33: Gluten-free at Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium

January 19, 2014 by Kate Leave a Comment

Pearl #33: Gluten-free at Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium

My friends have been obsessed with Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium, in Richmond Heights, forever. But note the heavily bread-influenced name – Sandwich Emporium – that composes 2/3 of that name. Sadly, for a long time, they only had normal people bread (AKA not gluten-free). But lo and behold, someone told me last summer that they had recently…

Pearl #32: Gluten-free at Half & Half in Clayton

For a couple years now, I’ve heard nothing but good things about Half & Half, in downtown Clayton. My non-gluten-free roommate Katherine LOVES it. And raves about it. I went in there once for dinner when it was the upscale Mexican restaurant Medianoche (aka, before it was Little Country Gentleman), but had never been in…
