Connie at The Pop Shop in Collingswood let me know that the restaurant now uses bread from Miller's Gluten Free for its grilled cheese and other sandwiches. We stopped in last Saturday night, and our older son gives it a thumbs-up. The bread is now sliced thicker so that there's one large sandwich rather than two smaller ones.

It's too bad about the gluten-free muffins and cakes from Butterfly Bakery - we really liked them. Unfortunately Wegman's did a lousy job of displaying them - they were in the "regular frozen muffins" section instead of the GF section so we had to really hunt for them. Any info on why they were discontinued so quickly?
