I’ve eaten twice at The Cheesecake Factory in the last few weeks. I had a modified chicken dish with steamed vegetables at the first visit and a veggie filled salad several days ago. Both were delicious. I was reassured by managers and servers that the kitchen was familiar with preparing food safely.

A nice touch at the last visit: the server brought me a plate with sliced banana when she brought bread for the table. What a clever server!

Have you ever been offered fruit or vegetables in lieu of bread?

Gluten Free Living Magazine – Read For Free

Archived by Diane 11/12/22 – > no longer available

I am a big fan of Gluten Free Living magazine. The stories are well researched and relevant to my concerns living gluten free.

Found that Gluten Free Living is one of the nearly 400 popular titles available FREE to all Cuyahoga County Public Library card holders. A full digital copy is available to be read on your computer/tablet/mobile device using the Zinio app or website. No subscription limits or expirations.

The set up was easy but expect to create logins at 2 separate sites. Hint: the same email and password will work for both. Digital Collection – Zinio.

Tried J Gumbo’s yesterday. It is a fast food cajun/creole eatery. About a half dozen menu items are designated gluten free, including spicy Voodoo Chicken, creamy Bumblebee Stew and a traditional Jambalaya. Loved that they offer samples, so I tried all of the GF varieties before placing my order. I enjoyed a bowl of White Chili served over rice. As I was leaving I saw a menu notation that you can order a 2nd entree for $1 or 3rd for $2 more, served together in one bowl. The next time I would get the spicy Voodoo Chicken in combination with one of the milder offerings.

Located just up from Public Square between Chipotle and Noodlecat.

Kalahari – The Reserve

Sandusky

Tonia shares: I stayed at Kalahari a couple weeks ago when I was at the Middle School Conference and they have a gluten free menu in one of their restaurants, “The Reserve”. I was able to have a burger on a GF bun with GF fries. They have GF breakfast foods as well-waffles, etc. It was such a pleasant surprise! They also have GF pasta and bread for sandwiches.
