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 #27: Gluten-free at The Original Pancake House, Ladue
Before a hot, grueling and awesome day at LouFest in August, a big group of us went to The Original Pancake House in Ladue for brunch. I’d been dying to check it out, as the St. Louis locations of Original Pancake House serve gluten-free pancakes made from Andrea’s gluten-free pancake mix. If you love pancakes,…
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 #21: Gluten-free at Cyrano’s Cafe in Webster Groves
My very own mother turned 50** last week. That kind of birthday just doesn’t come around all too often, so we wanted to throw her a little soireé with our family and some of her closest friends. The venue? Cyrano’s Cafe in Webster Groves. Have you been? If not, you really must. It’s such a cute…
Pearl #18: Gluten-free at Fitz’s American Grill & Bottleworks
Nothing says “summer time” better than root beer floats. And burgers and fries. So I convinced Ken to join me on an adventure to Fitz’s American Grill & Bottleworks in the Delmar Loop. I happened to stumble across their website and learned they had introduced a gluten-free menu since the last time I had eaten…
Pearl #16: Gluten-free at Wild Flower St. Louis
There’s a new sheriff [boss] in town at work, so we’ve been doing our fair share of dining out. For his first day, we headed down to Wild Flower in Central West End. It was a gorgeous day out, so we dined outside. They have a great patio – it would definitely be a nice…
Pearl #14: Gluten-free at Herbie’s Vintage 72
I love the idea of brunch. I really do. But I have such a routine in the mornings that I get HANGRY if my feeding times get upset. (Generally, I’ve already eaten two meals by noon). And sometimes, brunch has the potential to make me hangry. You roll up to the restaurant. You put your…
