Gluten Free Restaurants

Here is a short list, more to come of restaurants that offer Gluten Free menus.

PF Changs, Outback Steakhouse, Bonefish Grill, Carraba's. When in doubt, just ask, but these restaurants are knowledgeable of what it means to prepare your meal gluten free.

M & I had dinner at Carraba's this weekend, we didn't ask about the gluten free menu, he just tried to order what he thought would be gf. He ordered a salad without croutons, and when it came the croutons were mixed in. When he sent it back he explained that he was following a gf diet and the waiter advised us to ask for the gluten free menu next time. If you order from that menu, the chefs know to mix things in separate bowls, leave out the croutons, etc. So, the lesson is - always ask if food can be prepared gf when dining out.

Here's an interesting theory on breaking habits, such as overeating and smoking. I heard an interview on NPR about the people who started this. Check it out. http://www.stickk.com/.
