Between the end of school, a trip out of town, a new art project and a new job, I have had to take a bit of break from this blog. It's still super important and I plan to continue to post regularly--just not every day. There's no time for that right now. You understand.
For now, take a look at my photography website:
And my work website with the fabulous Jennifer Schwartz (she also eats gluten free) :

Yesterday, March 31st, 2011, marked the opening day of baseball season, so I thought I'd do a little research and try to put together a complete list of MLB stadiums that now offer gluten free concessions at the game. I found that there are also five NFL stadiums now offering GF fare as well.
Last year, my 6 yo son went to his first baseball game at Turner Field to see the Atlanta Braves. Because both he and my husband, J., are gluten free, they got tickets right near the gluten free concession stand on Aisle 106. Each had a "delicious" hamburger with a GF bun and J. had a Redbridge beer. My father (not GF, but a good sport) had a hotdog with a GF bun and suggested that the hamburger may have been a better choice because of the way it's steamed with the bun, keeping everything tasty.
What gluten free experiences have you had at sports arenas and stadiums?
More Specifically:
AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, has new gluten-free items at the Budweiser Pub.
New York Mets: Citi Field has a Kozy Shack Gluten Free Stand on the Field Level within the World’s Fare Market. This stand is said to have Kozy Shack pudding, hot dogs, burgers, beer and more.
*Seattle Mariners: Safeco Field has Gluten Free Awareness Night on Friday, August 26th, 2011 (that night is also fleece blanket night)!
*Chicago White Sox: U.S. Cellular Field has gluten free options at a variety of concession stands.
*Chicago Cubs: Wrigley Field just announced they are offering Enjoy Life Foods gluten free/allergy friendly foods.
Let me tell you a well-known secret. This is the best vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to and the food never fails to make us happy.
The menu is gigantic and the chef just started using all gluten free soy sauce in everything and potato starch instead of flour (for all but the specifically battered and fried items.) Just ask, they know all about the GF community in Atlanta because they've had a deluge of customers with this request in the 2 years or so that they've been open on Buford Highway not far from Clairmont Rd.
Or bring your own GF soy sauce and corn starch if you are concerned, and they will make the dishes with that instead.
Our favorites include the Pho of all varieties, the rice paper spring rolls, the fried tofu shrimp rolls, all manner of flat rice noodle dishes with various proteins, the crepes are supposed to be fantastic, the sweet potato shrimp appetizer is great. The dipping sauces--hoisin, peanut, sweet and tangy, sirracha, etc. are all GF.
Everything is fresh, the space is nice, clean and well decorated, and it's inexpensive!
Tell your server you are GF, ask about items you'd like, and they will work with you.
