How does your body handle travel?
Are you easily exhausted, or apprehensive about having enough food to eat? (By that I mean the RIGHT kind of food, of course).
Hopefully, you haven’t given up on travel, at least not yet.
While it can indeed be challenging, it doesn’t have to be mean deprivation or going hungry.
I recently flew to Austin, TX, to hang out with my son for a few days. My first night there, we enjoyed this fabulous gluten-free, Japanese inspired meal at a restaurant called Uchi.
(They were very accommodating to my special diet, by the way – which makes for a very stress-free meal!)
Now normally, I’m not a big meat eater.
But this Hot Rock Wagyu Beef totally blew me away. Not only was it delicious, but the presentation was rather awesome. And yes, you even get to cook the meat yourself on that very HOT rock (so cool, and so much fun!)
The rock was heated to 500-600 degrees! (I was curious, so I asked).
I also asked about the bed of salt underneath the rock, since I’d noticed cloves and juniper berries scattered among the crystals.
The reason?
It was all about the aroma!
In other words, the heat of the rock released the fragrance of the spices – adding to the dining experience.
As you can see, a gluten-free diet doesn’t equate to deprivation. Even if you’re wrestling with digestive issues or autoimmune disease, it’s not the end of the world.
Rather, it’s about feeling better than you have in years, while exposing yourself to new adventures – and new foods – along the way.
And no question about it, it is an adventure!
