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 #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 #37: Gluten-free at New Day Gluten Free, Ellisville
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 Holy Grail. All of their food is made from scratch in a dedicated…
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 #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 #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 #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 #12: Gluten-Free at Corner Pub & Grill
I’m not going to lie. Corner Pub & Grill in St. Louis has probably my favorite gluten-free menu in St. Louis. Why, you ask? Well, my friend…lots of nice restaurants in St. Louis make delicious, upscale gluten-free items – filet mignon, scallops, twice-baked mashed potatoes, you know the drill. But the things I miss most…
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…
