News & Notes: May 21, 2010

It was a slow news week for a change here at Gluten Free Philly, but I still have a few items to share with you. Earlier in the week, I featured Tesori's Gluten Free Treats, a made-to-order bakery in Medford that offers all kinds of baked goods.

Medford also has a restaurant with gluten-free pizza and pasta. You can order those items at La Bella Pizza (199 Medford-Mt. Holly Road, 609-953-9148).

Legal Sea Foods is now open at the Philadelphia International Airport at the Terminal B/C Connector (267-295-9300). At the moment, this location doesn't have a gluten-free menu, but you can ask your server to identify the safe items.

Reader Mark wrote to tell me that the ShopRite in Brooklawn now has an expanded gluten-free section.

On Wednesday, June 2 at 6 p.m., the Whole Foods Market on Callowhill Street in Philadelphia is hosting a one-hour lecture and gluten-free food tasting with Lois Quigley, a holistic health counselor and food demonstrator. Each attendee will walk away with a special goody bag filled with gluten-free products. To register, e-mail Laura Enoch by Monday, May 31.

I'm planning a short break away from the blog through Memorial Day, but will return in June with lots of product reviews, a recap of our recent trip to New York City and more. Go Flyers!
