No to Domino's

So the end of the school year is among us.  My daughters teacher was having a pizza party and let us know she was getting a GF pizza from Domino's for my daughter.

Thanks for the thoughtfulness but without even researching it at that time we said "no thank you" and brought in a homemade GF pizza when they had the party.

So I did some digging and indeed Domino's does now offer a gluten free crust.  They did work with the NFCA but (from their website FAQ):

Domino's worked closely with the NFCA and recognizes that with our current operational model we cannot, beyond all doubt, provide the environment needed to assure those with celiac disease that the whole pizza is 100 percent gluten free.

They do not use separate ingredients so their is a high risk if not certain risk that their will be cross contamination.  The crust includes:

Gluten Free Crust: Water, Rice Flour, Rice Starch, Potato Starch, Olive Oil,
Evaporated Cane Juice, Tapioca Flour, Potato Flour, Fresh Yeast, Avicel, Salt, Calcium Propionate


So maybe a salad?  No, that is out too.  They state that although it is made at a separate station it shares ingredients with the pizzas and there is a risk of contamination.

So they do have a GF crust but DO NOT have a GF Pizza.

Ciao,

The Un-Gluten Guy

Mountain Mike's Pizza

Pizza. One of the things we GF folk miss is pizza, grabbing a slice, ordering a pie, delivery pizza at home. It has been two years since the GF Food Expo in San Diego where I met the owner of the two local  Mountain Mike's Pizza.   He told me a story about his daughter, who has to be GF, and how his restaurants offer safe GF Pizza.  I kept thinking I would stop in - its been two years.  Sam Golding owns the shop in Clairemont Mesa and I believe another in San Carlos. Its not far but not close, so I didn't venture down to the Clairemont shop.  And, I'm apprehensive about new places.  I hate getting sick from contamination. This is the Gluten Free Menu. Let me tell you it was a great experience.  The girl behind the counter knew what she was talking about, they have a good GF menu - not just pizza (they even have three GF beers), and the pizza was delicious. The GF crusts are small, 10 inch.  They are GF, soy, egg and dairy free.  They have a good texture and t

Ghostfish Gluten Free Beer

I noticed that I have been slacking on the blog updates.  I do have some recipes to add and a bunch of new GF products that I have found.  But, one of the best new additions I have found was another dedicated GF Brewery out of the incredible Pacific Northwest.  Home to beautiful mountains, rivers, steelhead, salmon and GF Beer.  My other favorite GF beer is just south of these guys in Portland, Oregon - Groundbreaker Brewing  (The brew pub is also a block away from my favorite GF Bakery - New Cascadia Traditional. I found out about  Ghostfish Brewing  after hearing about all of the medals they won at the 2015 Beer events.  They are another dedicated GF Brewer located in Seattle, Washington.  Three guys making great GF beer. I was able to get my hands on three of their beers.  They did not last very long because they were all very good. Grapefruit IPA This won the Bronze Medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival.  Its made with sorghum, brown rice, candi syrup, hops, gra

San Diego Safari Park

I must say that the San Diego Zoo  Safari Park  has some work to do.  Disney and Legoland do a great job with a GF list that you can pick up at guest services. We went to the Safari Park the other day.  I stopped at Guest Services and they said to check in the park at the Ranger Station.  At the Ranger Station they called another person on the phone and then informed me that they did not have a list - I should ask at each place. So I'm supposed to go into every place and ask?  If I'm hungry, and wait in line, and then find out they do not offer anything I'm supposed to just go to the next place and wait in line again? Now, we brought food (always prepared); but, I wanted to check out the GF options for potential visits in the future and for "research." I stopped by Mombasa Island Cooker .  The only option was baked chicken strips . I went to the Oasis Deli .  This kid was nice and surprised that the Park didn't have a list.  They have one salad .  Th
