GF pastry chef and cookbook author Rebecca Reilly is coming to DFW

The woman who gave me hope for my baklava and puff-pastry future is coming to town to address the North Texas Gluten Intolerance Group.  She'll be at their Nov. 1, 2008 meeting in North Richland Hills.  She lives in Maine, so this is a seriously great opportunity.  Put it on your calendars!  You can check our her book Gluten-Free Baking at Amazon.

Gluten-free friendly chain restaurants

It's good to have options when you're out and about.  These are some chain restaurants in the metroplex that are GF friendly.  

• P.F. Changs has a GF menu
• Pei Wei has a GF menu
• Cheesecake Factory has a GF menu
• Outback Steakhouse has a GF menu
• Chili's has a master list of what's in everything.  I often eat their children's grilled chicken - it's not marinated - and mashed potatoes
• Chipotle - Everything is GF except for the flour tortillas, so just get the bowl.
• Q-doba - check their online menu
• Wendy's - Their fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer and their burgers are GF.  They have a master list in the store.
• Sonic - They have a comprehensive list online
• Chick-fil-a - Their fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer and their grilled chicken (not the breaded one) is GF without the bun.
