I enjoyed really tasty frozen yogurt this afternoon.  I was pleased that all flavors are gluten free and organic, many vegan. The toppings bar included fruit from the West Side Market and the helpful staff is willing to get toppings from the back, so no cross contamination.  They have a binder with ingredient lists and nutritional information.  They have vegan baked goods and sometimes gluten free baked goods which are individually wrapped, though no GF baked goods were available today.

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.

I had lunch this week at the B Spot on Chagrin at Eton.  A manager came to the table to explain my options – bunless burger or chicken.  All toppings were ok, except grilled onions.  No fries, as onion rings are made in the same oil.  Condiments and sauces are on the table and a pickle bar, with pickled tomatoes and onions, in addition to 2 kinds of cucumbers, is located in the center of the restaurant. The manager brought out a dish of the very delicious Coffee BBQ sauce and an assortment of fantastic pickled veggies at my request. One note:  In the service of our large table of mostly gluten eaters, my chicken arrived with a fry on the plate.  The server immediately returned the dish to the kitchen and the manager hand carried a newly made serving to me.

Well, I will not be blogging happy comments about this place. Despite the “it’s no problem to do GF” that I was told yesterday, it was a problem.  I had a lentil soup and fresh salad but everyone else had wonderful hors d’oeuvres and entrées and desserts. Part of the problem was our waitress and part was the restaurant was packed and very noisy.  (And to add insult, the waitress divided the others’ hors d’oeuvres among all 5 of us and then charged me double.  So not only did I not get to eat it, I was charged twice the amount!)  I will not be returning to give them a second chance – there are so many places I really enjoy with excellent service and menus.

So, I do not suggest going to Spice if you are in the Gordon Square/Detroit Shoreway neighborhood.  I recommend Luxe down the street.

Uncommon Grains

Shaker Square Farmer’s Market

Archived by Trisha 2/10/2020 – business closed

NOTE by Diane: Find Uncommon Grains at the Shaker Square Market and Coventry and Lee Road Phoenix Coffee Cafes.

I was surprised and very pleased to stumble upon the Uncommon Grains stand at the Wednesday farmers market at Cleveland Clinic Beachwood.  This new dedicated gluten free bakery made its debut today and has plans to sell at this market each week.

I decided to try a bit of everything and bought foccacia bread (my first since going GF 6 years ago!), a chocolate frosted chocolate cupcake, salted chocolate chocolate chip cookies, and a blueberry muffin.  Prices are as expected for GF baked goods.

Everything was delicious with a good texture and minimal crumble.  The blueberry muffin was especially noteworthy, reminding me of the blueberry muffins I so frequently baked years ago.
