Jsix Restaurant - Our Gluten Free Experience


Back to Jsix last night.  As usual they were very helpful.  Sous Chef Leland Heaton came out to our table to double check with us after we ordered to make sure that everything would be safe.  This time the kids came with so we needed something GF for my daughter too.

I had the garlic thyme grilled shrimp with grilled watermelon.  This was delicious - I could have eaten a dozen of them.  They added a bit of heat with some jalapenos.



For dinner my daughter ate the GF short ribs and devoured them.  I guess they were good.


I had the grilled pork chop for dinner.  It was served with a mustard vinegar sauce that was made from scratch in house.  On the side were roasted potatoes with rosemary.  The pork was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were crispy and seasoned well.

For dessert the little ones had creme brulee and lemon sorbet - both GF and very good.

On the way out we ran into the Red Bull girls as they pulled up in a Red Bull car.  What do you know, its Gluten Free.  The one girl said she has celiac too.

A fun night out with the kids.  Definitely check out Jsix, we have always had a good experience.

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. ...

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...
