I wh...Mark - your comments are welcome, as always.<br /><br />I wholeheartedly agree with you that restaurants that have gluten-free bread, pasta, pizza, etc. and take it seriously should be applauded (and patronized).<br /><br />I list restaurants that can otherwise accommodate (Five Guys, for example) and/or have generic gluten-free menus because sometimes that's all that's around in a particular neighborhood or in one's travels. All things being equal, I'd rather go to that place knowing that there's something my son can eat rather than another place I'm not familiar with.<br /><br />- MichaelGFPhillyhttp://glutenfreephilly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434432016668973077.post-70536151626178212142012-07-20T08:36:11.649-04:002012-07-20T08:36:11.649-04:00As always, thanks for all of your excellent posts ...As always, thanks for all of your excellent posts and information... i've tried many of your restaurant suggestions. Many of our favorite places to eat have come from info in your blog.<br /><br />I had never heard of Burger 21, and it sounds awesome. Margaritaville with GF buns in AC... Amazing!<br /><br />What really drove me to comment today, is I get excited by restaurants that really make an effort to support Gluten Free dining. Having gluten free buns (like Burger 21), pizza crusts or pasta is making an effort.<br /><br />But a restaurant offering a gluten free menu which simply consists of highlighting their salads and steaks, or hamburgers without buns... eh.<br /><br />Bobby Flay Burger place, Five Guys, and there was another new one that I cant remember the name of, that got a lot of attention on the blog... well, if their "thing" is burgers and we have to bring a bun from home to enjoy, I don't think they should even get a mention in a Gluten free blog.<br /><br />Related... Pizzeria Uno is now my family's #1 "chain" restaurant. The carry Red Bridge beer, offer a GF pizza that they take care to prepare separately, and in talking to our waiter last night he said their digital registers which they put orders into has a separate GF section which warns them about mixing non-gf items and will present messages like "No croutons on the Caesar salad" (probably worthy of a blog post on its own)<br /><br />Now THAT is really making an effort to support the Gluten Free community.<br /><br />But getting a burger without a bun? eh. I'm not driving out of my way for that.<br /><br />Love what ya do, just wanted to share a thought.<br /><br />MarkCrescentMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146618339648651793noreply@blogger.com
