On occasion we all like to eat out. When you have a mix of allergies, intolerances and preferences how do you find a restaurant that will fit all these needs? I like to use an app on my iPhone called “find me gluten free”. It’s a free app and it’s available on iPhone and Android and they also have a website you can use if you haven’t upgraded to a smart phone yet. We have used this app whenever we travel all over the United States. On their website I noticed that there is a foreign country option too. It’s so easy to use. It gives you menus, phone numbers, directions and reviews. We recently used this when we visited Disney World in Orlando, Fl.. My grandson loves ribs and of course most places that provide gluten free options give you a potato, steamed vegetables and grilled chicken. Well there’s only so much of that a 7 year old can take so my daughter consulted the app and in seconds we found Flame Tree Barbecue in Animal Kingdom. He had BBQ ribs, coleslaw and grapes and he enjoyed every last bit of it. This app also gives vegan and vegetarian options so if you travel this app is invaluable.
Enjoying BBQ
Recently I was talking with one of the Technicians I work with and he told me that his sister-in-law has celiac and they are always concerned when she comes over because they are unsure of what to feed her and they especially find it hard if they want to meet them out for dinner because they just don’t know where to go that she can eat and have a good time. I mentioned the app to him and I also mentioned a restaurant in the city that is actually GiG trained (Gluten Free training certified). This is also posted in the app. So whether you have a preference to vegan foods or have an allergy or intolerance to foods containing gluten this app can really help in finding the right place for you, your family and friends. One thing my vegan daughter dislikes is when we are going out to eat and someone says,” oh, you can have a salad”. Just as my gluten free grandson gets tired of grilled chicken she gets tired of just a salad. Using this helpful tool can give everyone an enjoyable dining experience. Love, Grammie Deb
