About two weeks ago I found out that I have to move to a gluten-free diet.  After my wife pulled my head out of the toilet (I was trying to drown myself and it was the closest body of water) and told me that life WAS worth living without wheat, spelt…More »

What a fantastic place for excellent gluten free food!  Went there on Monday night for our anniversary.  First time there and the first thing we noticed was the great ambience.  Classy and comfortable.  Quiet.  Nice.

When we were greeted by the host I…More »

I am amazed at all of the 'Dim Sum experts' that have been dissing Get Sum.  In most of them I sense a snobby 'not as good as (fill in where you lived on the west coast before) where we had the BEST' approach to these reviews.

Let me give the facts -…More »

Not only is this a comfortable, casual little hang out spot, but it also has a really good selection of gluten-free items.  The pasta and pizza offerings can all be made gluten-free.  My favorites are the cheese, mushroom, and carmelized onion pizza…More »

GREAT place for satisfying the Italian cravings when you are gluten-free!  Heard that BO had a gluten-free menu and made the mistake of going with my family to the Brick Oven on Red River - big problem - it's not the same as this one and they don't…More »

People's carries a great selection of food and snacks for Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free diets.  They also carry a broad selection of complete dinners for up to four people of gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free entrees.  I saw enchilada platters,…More »

Great place for lunch or dinner.  The Pad Thai is fantastic.  It's got a nice decor for a family dinner but is casual enough that I am writing this review while I'm finishing my meal.

They have several dishes that are gluten-free but my favorite is…More »

It's bad to be ADHD when you come to a restaurant like Thai Tara because you REALLY need to read the detail on the menu.  Two Stars means spicy.  Like, really spicy.  I got the Num Tok and didn't realize that it had two stars.  Three bites in the…More »

Went to Red Robin this week for dinner and was concerned when I sat down and saw that it was mostly burgers - although they were pretty clear that the patties could be beef, vegan, chicken, or soy.  I still didn't know if I was going to be able to…More »

I wanna work here.  You get to yell when customers order stuff.  You get to yell when an order's ready.  You get to yell when a virgin visitor says they've never been there.  Sometimes you get to yell just to yell.

I love Waterloo's food.  Their breakfasts are really well done and they have a great selection.  The Migas - with or without jalapenos - are terrific.   They make great omelettes and I'm a big fan of their burgers.  When I'm really hungry this is a…More »
