Bertucci’s Gluten Free Menu

19th January, 2010 - Posted by Scott - No Comments

Can you tell I’ve been looking for as many chain restaurant’s as possible that offer gluten free menus, not just individual items?  As I find more I’ll get them posted for you.

Bertucci’s Italian Restaurant, with locations in 10 states and Washington D.C., offers a very nice GF menu offering everything from appetizers through desserts.  There isn’t one close enough that I’ve been able to make a trip out, but the food sounds great and I want to plan a trip to try it.

If you have eaten there, please let us know about your experience.

Carrabba’s Has a Gluten Free Menu, But…

17th January, 2010 - Posted by Scott - No Comments

If you have a problem with cross contamination you will probably want to avoid anything off the grill.  The GF menu bears a note that many of the items come from the same grill and there is not a gluten free grill.  I am thankful however to see that more chains are working on offering gluten free menus.  It provides more options for enjoying a meal out.

Outback Steakhouse Gluten Free Menu

11th January, 2010 - Posted by Scott - No Comments

My wife and I were remarking on how long it has been since we went out to dinner when I decided to go looking for local places that have a gluten free options.  Much to my surprise, Outback Steakhouse provides a clear and detailed menu.  Helpful hints abound for how to modify your order to make it gluten free.  One thing that surprised me, and was a bit upsetting, was to find out that Aussie fries are not gluten free.  There are consolation prizes though: Chocolate Thunder From Down Under is a decadent gluten free dessert!
