Unexpectedly had the opportunity to visit the museum this Labor Day weekend and with no reservation for dinner found that their was room for a party of two at Provenance:) Inquiries to the kitchen offered many options that could be modified in the kitchen. This is not my favorite way to dine but I figured I would check it out and be appreciative of the opportunity to relax and have my meal prepared. I chose to have a soup over salad – it is so rare to have the option – going with Chilled Cucumber with Thai Chili and Creme Fraiche; super good! Pureed cucumber with just the right bite of spice and the cool creaminess of the Creme Fraiche. For my entree I had the Lamb dish with the lamb cooked to perfection, still, I was disappointed in the side dish which was supposed to be polenta but was really just corn grits – and not really good corn grits either. One of the problems with modifications is that ingredients are subbed or completely removed with nothing added to build on the flavors. Always a good question to ask – the Risotto dish looked appealing and most likely would have had the depth of flavor I was seeking. I would recommend Provenance next time you are visiting the museum but make specific inquiries on the components of the plate.

This past week I attended a viewing of the documentary movie “Rustbelt Rebels, vol. one – A Day in the Night” the story of emerging Chef Michael Nowak. Chef Nowak is the Executive and Owner of The Black Pig! Following the viewing I had the pleasure of speaking with Chef about the ability for the kitchen to manage meals that are gluten-free, Celiac Friendly. He was very positive about the kitchen’s ability to provide for g-f options due to the handmade nature of his menu, his personal hands-on approach and the fact that so many of the items on the menu are already naturally gluten-free.
I have not had the pleasure to eat at The Black Pig but I will be doing so soon and sponsoring an Eat With Event for NEOCN! Stay tuned or make your own Eat Date at The Black Pig and post your comments here:) As always, IT IS ADVISABLE TO CALL AHEAD, make a reservation and let them know your needs:) Happy dining!

Zagara’s Marketplace offers their gluten-free grocery options shelved throughout the store in the same areas as the traditional products. When you browse the aisles you will find the specialty items items listed with a gluten-free label.

In January I moved into my new home in Cleveland Hts. and went directly out to the area grocery stores in search of available gluten-free goodness! So happy to have found Zagara’s. They have many of the products that are staples in my pantry along with some new things for me to try. I am learning the store layout and find it pretty easy to manage. The arrangement at Zagara’s is for product to be comingled on the shelves with the traditional product. The drawback of that for me is that I typically find my shopping trips are short, sweet, and swift when the majority of my products are in one place since I don’t need all the other stuff – typically I avoid interior aisles. But I love that the store is a not superstore sized so the comingling has not really been an issue. If you have a mixed household this is probably a good layout plan.
