From Bette:

What did you order?: grilled chicken breast

Was the server GF knowledgeable?: reasonably knowledgeable

Comments: I went to Zanzibar on a Monday evening, when it was not at all crowded. It’s a lovely setting and the server was as helpful as she know how to be.
Unfortunately, there were very few gluten-free options, and it did not appear that the chef was able/willing to make changes to other options to make them safe.
My food was acceptable, but not really good. On the plus side, it really was gluten free.
I would not recommend this as a good choice for gluten free dining.

Kelly’s Kakes

Tonia shares:

I also met a woman at the Brunswick Farmer’s Market who makes gluten free bakery (she is gluten intolerant). I had the pumpkin cupcake—it was sooooo good! She bakes out of her home, and her business name is Kelly’s Kakes.

She makes cupcakes in many different flavors-vanilla with chocolate, chocolate on chocolate, vanilla on vanilla, chocolate with vanilla, red velvet, carrot cake, chocolate peanut butter, s’mores, snickerdoodle.

She also makes 9″x13″ cakes.

Lagerhead’s Smokehouse

Medina

From Tonia:

. . . tried a new restaurant in Medina (it’s in the middle of no where-there is a cornfield across the street!) called Lager Head’s. I was extremely pleased to learn they not only carry Red Bridge and Angry Orchard cider, but their menu is marked with gluten-free dishes! I had the sampler-pulled pork, wings, brisket, and ribs with collard greens and a salad. We even shared an order of GF pork rinds.

I enjoyed breakfast today at the Katz Club Diner. Tasty mushroom hash with poached eggs and GF toast. Please have a careful discussion with your server. While they serve Udi’s bread, they do not have a dedicated GF toaster.
When I asked about GF options the first suggestion was steel cut oats. Sadly, they are commercial oats – not the pure GF oats – so are not safe for those of us with celiac disease.
(See discussion of oats and GF diet here: http://celiacdisease.about.com/od/theglutenfreediet/a/OatsForCeliacs.htm).
