I haven't been posting as much these last few months. Truth is, being gluten free has become so much a part of routine life that it's hardly noteworthy anymore. I feel very fortunate to live in New York where there are so many stores, restaurants, and bakeries that cater to my needs.
However, I'm back on the road again for work and didn't have as much time to research restaurants this time. I've eaten at quite a few chains over the last week and have been surprisingly successful (I hate most chains). Some of the more mainstream chains I've been to are Applebee's, Chili's, and Longhorn Steakhouse. Abblebee's and Chili's were just ok, but I actually really enjoyed my meal at Longhorn - so much that I went back the next day. The waitstaff were really helpful at all three.
A chain I had never tried until this trip was Bonefish Grill. This chain is a bit on the nicer side and I really enjoyed it. They have a lot seafood (obviously), but since my company was paying I went with the Lily's Chicken (it's a nonprofit, ok?). They have several locations all over the country.
Tonight I went to J.B. Dawson's. They only have four locations, all in Pennsylvania, but I really liked it. I had a pulled pork sandwich on a gluten free bun with coleslaw and green beans. I also had a gluten free brownie with ice cream. Don't tell. I didn't finish it all, I swear. I would definitely go back.
You know who's not gluten free friendly? Panera. I walked in just wanting a salad and the lady behind the counter told me I couldn't have anything. It was really sad and I walked back out. Friendly's is also not gluten free friendly. Ironic, no? They tried, but my salad came with croutons and my bunless turkey burger was disgusting.
I hope to go home soon. Believe it or not, I'm sick of going out to eat.
