While there is no gluten free menu, many options on the regular menu are naturally gluten free. For example, many of the meats are cooked on spits that do not come in contact with gluten (it’s important to ask that they not be finished on the grill, which is used to warm breads). The rice and vegetable side dishes, as well as many of the salads, are safe.  And the food is very good. It was easy to get a delicious and healthy gluten free meal.

On my recent visit the server needed to be informed, but was very helpful and accommodating once I explained what was needed.

Zinc Brasserie

Sandusky

Gay shares her recent restaurant experience: I ate lunch at the Zinc Brasserie, 142 Columbus Ave., Sandusky, OH today.  And as always, the service was excellent and the kitchen was helpful in assuring me a GF entree. Today I chose the Salmon Nicoise salad.  Although Sandusky is an hour west of Cleveland via Rte 2 or the turnpike, folks head there for the ferries to the islands and Cedar Point. Zinc Brasserie is an option for either lunch or dinner should you be in the downtown business district.  You may wish to call ahead for a reservation and to give them the heads up that you are seeking a GF meal since their menu does not make any GF or other allergen designations. Their menu is on their website (zincbrasserie.net) plus they always have daily specials on their chalk board.

Worth the Gluten-free Gamble?

So, you’ve worked up an appetite at the casino and want to spend your winnings.  What gluten free options are available?  Don’t bother going downstairs to the buffet as they won’t accommodate you.  Instead head up to the food court. 

If you are in the mood for salad you are in luck.  Rosie & Rocco’s will make any of their salads gluten free.  Just inform the cashier that you need to have the salad made in a clean bowl. 

The B Spot also has salad, as well as tomato soup, pulled pork and, of course, burgers without buns. 

Alternatively, step outside to get some fresh air.  And try one of the many great nearby restaurants.

Domino’s Pizza

(Controversial) Multiple Locations

Domino’s has pizza with gluten free crust.

Monday, Domino’s, the world’s largest delivery pizza chain, will announce plans to sell a pizza made with a gluten-free crust.

That is the thrilling start to the article on usatoday.com  What follows is quite concerning:

“We are the first national pizza delivery chain to offer this,” boasts Domino’s CMO Russell Weiner, who notes that while the crust is certified gluten-free, the pizza is still prepared in ovens with pizzas that aren’t gluten-free, so folks who are extra-sensitive need to be aware. The gluten-free pizza costs about $3 more. Most gluten-free products typically do cost more to make.

From the Domino’s press release:

While Domino’s new Gluten Free Crust is appropriate for those with mild gluten sensitivity, Domino’s and the NFCA do not recommend it for those with celiac disease. Domino’s and the NFCA found that while the crust is certified as gluten free, current store operations at Domino’s cannot guarantee that each handcrafted pizza will be completely free from gluten.

So, the crust is certified GF, but cross-contamination is a real concern.  I think I’ll skip it.  How about you?  Have you tried it?  Share your experience by commenting below.

 

Lorenzo’s Pizza

Oberlin

From Lynn: Please post about Lorenzo’s Pizza in Oberlin. They serve medium size only gluten-free pizza. For a vegetable deluxe I paid $12.75 for a “to die for” pizza. I can’t remember when I’ve had such great tasting pizza. This pizza will rival even regular pizza. They serve regular pizza and Italian dishes. But I can guarantee, Lorenzo’s is the best gluten-free pizza in the land. I challenge anyone to try Lorenzo’s. http://www.lorenzospizza.com/ 52 1/2 South Main St Oberlin, OH 44074 (440) 775-0118 Have you tried Lorenzo’s?  Tell us what you think by commenting below.
