Roy Yamaguchi's Pacific Rim Cuisine

Roy's has had a makeover and it started in La Jolla.  The famous Roy's has been relabeled Roy Yamaguchi's Pacific Rim Cuisine.  We have been fans of Roy's and frequent the restaurant in La Jolla. You can my previous post here.  They did a complete makeover of the restaurant and upon walking in it really is nice, modern, open and inviting.  Brian, the manager, was glad to see us and seemed really happy with the new makeover.

Tim, our waiter, was very helpful and he brought me the Gluten Free menu that you can see below.



I was able to talk with Charles, the new chef, and he was very knowledgeable.  They are working on going to tamari instead of soy sauce and converting other things to GF.  They found a GF Ko Chu Jang Sauce that they use on the Bi Bim Bap.

I was excited to have the Bi Bim Bap.  I used to really like this but have not had it since being diagnosed.  If you haven't had this you are missing out.  It is a korean dish of rice with vegetables, egg and chili sauce.  You mix it all up and the silkiness of the egg blends it all together.  The heat of the chili sauce goes great with the vegetables.  Did I like it?  I devoured it.


For dinner I had the trout.  The sauce was made with fresh juice, mustard, oil and some tamari sauce.  It was simple and good.  Pan roasted vegetables and pan roasted trout that was delicious dipped in the sauce.


For dessert.  I had the chocolate soufflé of course.

I think you'll like the new decor and atmosphere, and the food is great too,

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
