Happy Dog

Lakewood/Cleveland border

Jane shares:

It’s my favorite GF spot.

They offer a GF menu in-house.  All their Dogs are served on GF buns; they
offer a vegan field dog (which I believe is GF but you’ll want to
double-check before endorsing it); they have 50 toppings to choose from,
many of which are GF; and they offer at least one GF beer.  I wouldn’t
recommend using the online menu on their site; it’s not the current menu
and the toppings and beer offerings regularly change.  Note: their mac and
cheese is NOT made with GF pasta, one time I made a poor (inebriated) choice.

Diane adds: I called Happy Dog and the women with whom I spoke said that they do NOT have GF buns and that most GF patrons just order without a bun. Please double check when you visit and let us know about your experience.

We ate at Deagan’s Kitchen in Lakewood last night. They have a regular menu on which they hi- lighted GF items in green. The ones I chose turned out to be quite bland – a crab and avocado salad plus a vegetarian curry. Their fried items are done in a shared fryer so definitely not an option for celiacs. It was busy and had a huge, younger adult bar crowd. I might return if in the area but would not make it a destination restaurant as it is just too bland for me. However, I do appreciate that the owners have identified potentially GF options and the waitress recognized the difference between folks who must follow GF dining versus those who just choose it for whatever reason. This is a good choice for younger adults with celiac who want a sports bar type atmosphere to hang out with friends.

Godiva Store Gluten Free Macaroons?

IMAG0120IMAG0119

The Godiva Store at Beachwood Place Mall now has GF Chocolate Dipped Macaroons.  They are dipped at the store and the dipper told me that separate chocolate is used for dipping the GF version.

The Godiva website includes this information about their chocolate:

Does your chocolate contain gluten? ALL of our products including solid chocolate pieces may contain gluten. Any person with a gluten allergy should NOT consume ANY of our products.

So, nice try Godiva.  But your GF macaroons seem less than GF.

Maggiano’s at Beachwood Place has been a favorite of mine for years. They do not have a gluten free menu, but the chef visits the table and is happy to modify menu items.  Their GF pasta is tasty.  I was saddened to find that they introduced a new menu and now charge an additional $2 for GF pasta.  And, if you choose one of their “Classic Pastas” which include a portion to eat at the restaurant and another boxed to take home, you will be charged the $2 twice.  So the GF option is $4 more than the gluten containing pasta.
