I love burgers. I could write haikus about burgers, I could write sonnets about burgers. I go in phases with the little devils, where all I can think about is eating one 24/7. My first serious burger binge occurred in summer 2011 (potentially due to low iron, who knows…?) As we close out 2013, I’m…

Pearl #30: Gluten-free at Katie’s Pizza and Pasta
Have you ever been to Katie’s Pizza in Richmond Heights? Awesome atmosphere, adorable decor. But it was a tough spot for the gluten-free gal or gent, with limited gluten-free options. You had to eat a salad (albeit, a delicious one) while the rest of your party nommed on some really awesome-looking pizza. But Katie’s new…
Pearl #29: Gluten-free at Hotpot Smoothie Shop
Have you heard of Hotpot Smoothie Shop? I hadn’t until a week ago, and I’m so sad that it took me this long. It opened about a year ago, allegedly. For the paleo, gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian St. Louisan, this is a walk in the park. Located in Kirkwood near Geyer and Manchester, they are…
Pearl #26: Gluten-free at Mission Taco Joint (St. Louis)
(Update, April 2015: Reader Layne commented that the chips are NOT gluten-free as they are no longer fried in a dedicated fryer. I separately called the restaurant and confirmed this to be the case. Always a good reminder to check with your servers/managers, as cooking practices change!) If you haven’t tried Mission Taco Joint in the…
Pearl #25: Gluten-free at Burger Up in Nashville
Behold, this is the last post about my gluten-free Nashville adventure. So we were totally stuffed from that gluten-free grilled provolone at Holland House in Nashville (link), but somehow we made room and ventured on to eat more food. (Fat kids at heart). For dinner, we went to Burger Up in the 12 South Neighborhood….
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 #19: Gluten-free at Home Wine Kitchen in Maplewood
Let’s just get it out there and say…Home Wine Kitchen in Maplewood is adorable. One of the neat little restaurants that is making Maplewood oh-so-chic, Home Wine Kitchen is simply a must try. Specifically, you must try their No Menu Monday. I saw an Instagram photo from Sauce Magazine of their veal meatballs over polenta with…
Pearl #9: Gluten-free at Dressel’s Public House
So, gang. It’s possible that I may turn into a burger. It seems that my time off work and away from my usual routine has converted me into a full-blown carnivore. Aside from the burger-domination phase of life in early college that I blame on low iron, I have never eaten so many burgers in…
