Kitchen Social

Pinecrest, several Columbus locations

https://ourkitchensocial.com/

Kitchen Social has recently opened at Pinecrest. They also have several locations in the Columbus area.

I enjoyed dinner here on a recent weeknight. Reservations were definitely needed as the place was hopping, including the packed bar.

There is a gluten free menu with a number of options. The knowledgeable server assured that the kitchen takes appropriate precautions with allergen designated orders. My entree was announced as gluten free when it was served to me.

I would order the Grilled Salmon salad again. The greens were very fresh and the roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, and almonds were a great combination of tastes. I just wish the fish had been served less well done.

Two companions tried the Tuna Bowl. One ordered off the regular menu and it was served with farro. The gluten free one had only rice. Otherwise, they looked the same. And both diners reporting liking the dishes.

Fall 2022 Virtual Event: Navigating the Money Challenges of Eating Gluten-Free

September 21st, 5 pm PST/ 8pm EST

From their website:

Wow!! Have you seen the prices of food lately? If you or a loved one is eating gluten-free, you may be facing even more challenges finding affordable food.

What can you do? Well, here’s what we did!

To answer that question, we’ve put three gluten-free eaters—our panelists—to the test of purchasing gluten-free food on a budget.

We gave each panelist $100 each and asked them to see how far they could stretch it.
