MaryLou writes (9-14):
Went to Slice on a Tuesday at 3:00 so I would not interfere with lunch/dinner crowd.
Waitress advised they make their own GF pizza.
After ordering she advised shell was made by Udi’s.
Toppings were very good but arrived an hour later & crust was over-baked.

As there are not a lot of GF pizzas in Mentor, I will give them another chance in the near future.

Neighborhood Butcher Shops are Great for Gluten Free

Archived by Diane 12/31/2023 -> closed

The neighborhood butcher shop is coming back, and that’s good news for the Greater Cleveland GF Community. Smaller shops mean you can ask where meat comes from, what exactly is in the meat, and in some cases, if the animals have been raised humanely.
Saucisson (prepared at the Cleveland Culinary Launch Kitchen) sells their sausages and pork at Farmers Markets.
The Butcher & the Brewer (find them on Facebook) is a butcher shop, brewery and restaurant, now open on E. 4th St.
The Sausage Shoppe in Old Brooklyn knows gluten free. Look for the Meat & Curing Co. to open soon near the West Side Market, headed by Adam Lambert formerly of Bar Cento.

Let’s Get Cookin’

Join us at any of our Fall Gluten Free “Cook Book Club” meetings!

Not just for cooks or for those who love GF Cookbooks but anyone interested in getting better at gluten free cooking and baking!

Eileen and Mariann are going to feature different GF Cookbooks monthly that have engaged our imagination and inspired us to cook up something different and yummy. Register for one or all 3 in September, October, or November. Make sure you specify which you are signing up for so we have enough samples for all. There will be plenty of camaraderie and useful exchange as we all try to figure out “what’s to eat that’s gluten free”. Come for the fun and leave having sampled new foods and made new friends.
