Last week, I wrote about some of the pitfalls associated with gluten-free travel and dining in restaurants.
And I wanted to address the flip side – which is the exhilaration one feels when you discover a restaurant that fully understands & caters to the gluten-free diet.
About a year ago, I found one such place in my own backyard, although, it took a ferry ride to get there.
Our destination was a restaurant in the small town of Vashon – on Vashon Island – with a most unusual name: The Hardware Store.
At the time, I knew that the Gluten-Free Girl and her husband had a close connection to this restaurant – as he happened to be the chef.
That’s how I knew that dining there would be a very positive experience!
Plus, I love going to a restaurant and having my very own, gluten-free menu – it’s so much easier than having to navigate and play detective.
Sometimes I still need to do that, but at least I know everything will be gluten-free, which instantly removes a certain level of anxiety.
On this particular outing, I ordered Fish and Chips for my lunch.
Later, I was mystified by my choice.
