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 #44: Gluten-free at Chicago’s Pizza

Pearl #44: Gluten-free at Chicago’s Pizza

My heart skips a beat thinking about Chicago’s Pizza. Seriously, this place is a refuge for the gluten-free Chicago population. In a town filled with deep dish pizza, a gluten-free gal tends to get a little jealous. I mean, when folks are chowing down on deep dish at Pequod’s…or Lou Malnati’s…or Giordano’s…jealousy is inevitable. Even…

Pearl #43: Gluten-free at Wildfire Restaurant (Chicago)

Pearl #43: Gluten-free at Wildfire Restaurant (Chicago)

Wildfire Restaurant in Chicago, located in River North, was the first Chicago restaurant I ever went to that had gluten-free options. (Insert, ooh, ahh, here). That was back in November 2011, shortly after my Celiac diagnosis and after Ken moved up to Chicago. When my family was in town visiting a couple weeks ago, I…

Pearl #42: Gluten-free at Scooter’s Frozen Custard (Chicago)

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 #41: Gluten-free at Mia Sorella (St. Louis)

Pearl #41: Gluten-free at Mia Sorella (St. Louis)

When I got the Chicago job offer back in February, my family offered to venture beyond their usual haunts and head out to Town & Country to try out the newish Mia Sorella for a celebration. This sister restaurant of Trattoria Marcella has GREAT gluten-free options, and I had been eagerly waiting to cross this…

Pearl #39: Gluten-free at Favazza’s, St. Louis

Pearl #39: Gluten-free at Favazza’s, St. Louis

Ok, wow, so I heart Favazza’s on The Hill. I had no idea they had a dedicated gluten-free menu, but stumbled across them at the bottom of a very buried Yelp list a while back, gave them a call and knew I had to get there ASAP. They have gluten-free pasta, gluten-free pizza, and gluten-free salads….

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

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 #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

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…
