Rendezvous Del Mar

Well, I found it.  I thought after being diagnosed that chinese food was out.  I figured that there was no way to prevent cross contamination.  I assumed that wonton soup and fried food dishes would keep me away from the woks and fryers.

Well, luckily I was wrong.  I found Rendezvous in Del Mar.  Actually I have driven by here for years but never ventured in to try the food.

They have a GF menu and it is big.  Three tapas, four soups, 27 entrees.  And they are super receptive to those with Gluten allergies.  We did take out the other day and they even put my GF food in a completely separate take out bag then the rest of the families food.

And it was delicious.

I had their hot and sour soup.  Tofu and mushrooms in a delicate broth.


Next I had the Curry chicken over rice.  Tender pieces of chicken in a pungent curry sauce (I know, not typical american Chinese food).


Next, (I just got off a crazy long day at work and was super hungry) I had the shrimp pad thai.  Usually I am fearful that aside from a thai restaurant the pad thai will be disgusting but this proves that theory wrong.  Perfectly cooked noodles and and savory sauce topped with shrimp.


Findmeglutenfree.com has others reviews which are also positive.

If you have been looking for a Chinese restaurant - this is it.

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. ...

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...

GFAF Expo 2015 San Diego

Image
Well, its over but it was fun.  This was definitely the best expo that I have been to and there was lots to see and try.  The folks at  GFAF Expo  describe themselves as the largest Gluten Free and Allergen Free Expo in the US and I agree. While I was there I met Angela aka the celiac hash girl.  She has a cool  blog (celiachashigirl.com)  that you should check out. Massel's  had a nice booth front and center.  They make gluten free bouillon.  It comes in cubes, a condensed liquid and a granule form.  Not only is it GF but its vegan.  They have vegetable, chicken and beef flavors.  I made Vietnamese Pho with the beef and you would never know that its vegan.  Great to travel with if you cook when you travel - no more searching for GF broths. Udi's  was also up front.  Serving up their snacks and bread.  There stuff is always great and you can always find their bread in my freezer. One of our n...
