Lunch at Tommy’s last week included a g-f veggie burger on a g-f bun, fries, and a cheddar grilled cheese and tomato sandwich.   Tommy’s has been taking care of me and my family with all our gluten/vegan/dairy issues for years – graciously, intelligently and with great integrity.  It is so exciting to see a dedicated gluten-free menu, lots of options, and especially great food!  One reason they are always busy!

Thanks, Emily, for the following review:

I have been to Tommy’s in Coventry many times before.  They have always been very accommodating regarding gluten free food, though there were still limitations to their menu, and only a few options.  However, when I went to eat lunch there last week, I was plesantly surprised.  When I asked my server for the gluten free menu, she informed me that they now have gluten free bread and a dedicated fryer.  This means that a huge portion of the menu is now safe for gluten free customers!  The falafel is gluten free, as are the french fries.  Almost all of the sandwiches are now able to be ordered gluten free.  My waitress at Tommy’s was extremely knowledgeable and seemed excited to share the gluten free options available to me. I ordered the Ceebee sandwich (falafel, veggies, homos, sunflower seeds, cheese and sesame sauce) and french fries.  It was fantastic.When my meal arrived, my french fries had a toothpick in them to distinguish them from my friend’s fries that were likely fried in the normal fryer.  The waitress also made a point to tell me that she checked to make sure, and the sesame dressing was gluten free (I hadn’t asked!).   I also noticed while I was there that there was gluten free granola available, as well as some gluten free cookies. 

I wish other restaurants would realize what Tommy’s has- with simple modification or two (in this case gluten free bread and a dedicated fryer), it can be very easy to accommodate gluten free customers.

Lorenzo’s Pizza

Oberlin

From Lynn: Please post about Lorenzo’s Pizza in Oberlin. They serve medium size only gluten-free pizza. For a vegetable deluxe I paid $12.75 for a “to die for” pizza. I can’t remember when I’ve had such great tasting pizza. This pizza will rival even regular pizza. They serve regular pizza and Italian dishes. But I can guarantee, Lorenzo’s is the best gluten-free pizza in the land. I challenge anyone to try Lorenzo’s. http://www.lorenzospizza.com/ 52 1/2 South Main St Oberlin, OH 44074 (440) 775-0118 Have you tried Lorenzo’s?  Tell us what you think by commenting below.

Bistro of Green

Uniontown

Gay shared her recent experience at Bistro of Green, 3459 Massillon Road, Uniontown, OH, 330-896-1434. First of all, we arrived at 5:10 without a reservation (they open at 5:00) and they gave us the last available table! The GF menu is extensive and affordable. I ordered a pasta entree with chicken and asparagus. There were three GF options for the numerous pasta dishes – a gf pasta; julienned vegetables; or sauteed spinach. I chose the julienned vegetables and was very happy with it. Although this is over an hour from my home, it is worth returning to try another option – as they have many GF choices. (It was a “real” menu on several pages!) That sounds great!  Have you eaten there?  Share your review by commenting below.

Bob shared a review of Skye:

GF Menu?: Yes

Order: Crusted calamari app, seared Mahi served with butternut squash, baby spinach & quinoa entree.

Comments: Dined 4/27, the first day for the GF menu. New Executive Chef, Mariann Offtermatt, herself a Celiac, was kind enough to come to our table and chat about the menu and her plans. The meal was wonderful as is the dining room and staff. I highly recommend Skye for a spectacular dining experience in Mentor. My wife (not GF) and  I will return often. A couple of burgers are available on Udi’s buns for those who want Skye’s “Pub Fare”.

Thanks Mariann for sharing these pictures of some of the gluten free menu items:

Parent & Kid's Event, "Celebrating Earth Day"

Sue and Giordana hosted an event for kids and parents this past Sunday, April 22.

Sue reports about the fun:

Giordana had made a bunch of earth day themed games: memory games, word search, etc.  These were great for the kids to complete while we waited for the rest of the families to arrive.  She also made edible ‘dirt’ for the kids to enjoy.

We started out the meeting with a little lesson on recycling and how long it takes for different products to biodegrade (plastic takes 500 years!).  We had the kids decorate sugar cookies to look like Earth and then they made planters out of egg shells.
