Pearl #55: 15 Healthy-ish Gluten-free Chicago Restaurants

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I’ve just finished a 12-day road trip traveling down California’s Highway 1, eating out for almost every meal and tasting delicious things BUT after so.much.food all I want is green and healthy things. I got glutened a couple of times, too, so as I type this on the airplane I’m already thinking…

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

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…

Pearl #50: Gluten-free at RPM Italian (Chicago)

I swoon over pasta. Thank GOD there are gluten-free substitutes. I really don’t know what I would do. So naturally I’d been dying to try RPM Italian, AKA Bill and Giuliana Rancic’s modern Italian restaurant, in River North. RPM, in the Lettuce Entertain You group, has a gluten-free menu. Like, an actual one, not just oh…

Pearl #49: Gluten-free at Japonais by Morimoto (Chicago)

Pearl #49: Gluten-free at Japonais by Morimoto (Chicago)

Officially crossed Japonais by Morimoto off the bucket list when Ken and I went for our anniversary a couple months back. My first impression of the atmosphere was a little off-putting…but the food was great. When we checked in for our reservation at 8:30, they asked us to head down to the “lounge” downstairs for…

Pearl #48: Gluten-free at Derby (Chicago)

In light of the end of the 2014 college football season…and Mizzou’s clenching of the SEC East Division Title…and the win by Mizzou Tigers against University of Minnesota Gophers in the Citrus Bowl, I thought a blog post on gluten-free options at Derby, the official Mizzou bar, would be fitting. Sports bars + gluten-free can…

Pearl #47: Gluten-free at Mercadito (Chicago)

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve put out a new blog post. Work has been insane…I had been trying to soak up Chicago before polar vortex sunk in…it was the holidays…insert excuses here. But 2015 is a new year, so I’m back at it! Luckily, I’ve still been doing my fair share of eating 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)

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…
