I just got back from Seattle and I gotta tell you, this city rocked my world! Well…at least my tummy!
A Little Background: A celiac is someone who can’t eat wheat/gluten or they get sick. Think food poisoning that lasts for 3 days plus eyeball searing migraines and you’ve got the picture of how important it is to stay away from foods everybody else eats without a second thought.
Freaky: This means that I feel like a freakin diva when I eat at a restruant. I either have to call ahead or check the web site or draw attention to myself by having a special chat with the waiter. That chat usually includes the waiter going to check with the chef to make sure I won’t accidentally be poisoned by some marinade or even soy sauce they included in the dish but didn’t include on the menu. I hate this part, but it’s important.
Seattle: Amy Flaa, my cool sis-in-law, did some research and EVERY DAY I was there, I got to eat at a gluten free friendly place! I ate pastries at Da Vinci and pizza (and garlic bread) from Romios and Italian at Cafe Piccolo. AND they were all very tasty to my SF trained palette! Pastries, Pizza and Italian – it’s been years since I’ve eatten those things!! Oh and a lovely chocolate birthday coma from Whole Foods to top off my lovely weekend.
Thanks Amy! Thanks Seattle!!
Anyone else with GF favs in Seattle?
