Jason’s Deli – Sometimes on a rainy day you just need a soup and a gluten free sandwich!

December 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Jason's DeliIt’s the rainy season in Nashville and well, what goes better on a rainy day that soup and a sandwich. Being Celiac, that’s not always an option. Thanks to Jason’s Deli gluten free menu though, it’s possible. Several months ago I was in Dallas for work and our driver overheard me talking about gluten free beer. His son worked at Jason’s Deli there and told us that they started serving gluten free bread and the whole staff was trained on how to handle the sandwiches to eliminate cross contamination as much as possible. As soon as I found this out I went straight down to the one on West End.

Today I enjoyed the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich: Natural, grilled chicken breast, bacon, Swiss, guacamole, tomato, Russian dressing, on gluten free bread and a bowl of Tortilla Soup and it hit the spot. The folks behind the deli counter were great and asked me if I wanted my bread toasted warning me that it would contaminate it with gluten bread and made sure that I was safe.

Locations: West End, Cool Springs and Murfreesboro
Price: $$

Fiddlecakes Gluten Free Sandwiches, Cookies and Quiche Oh My!

December 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

My favorite place for lunch downtown or off 8th is Fiddlecakes. In the mood for a sandwich, chips and a cookie? They can hook you up. My favorite is the Standard with grilled chicken, provolone, spinach, roasted red peppers and veganaise. Just let them know you are celiac and they will make sure everything is cleaned before they prepare your meal to ensure there’s no cross contamination. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Depending on the day, they have gluten free cupcakes, lemon bars, muffins, brownies and cookies. If you let them know in advance you can even order up a full loaf of fresh bread.

Fiddlecakes has two locations, one at 2206 8th ave. South and one at Cummins station, 300A 10th ave. South

Price: $$

Amerigo’s

September 18, 2011 By 1 Comment

Recently my wife bought a Groupon for Amerigo’s on West End. She had been trying to use it for weeks with me and I kept pushing her to go with a friend instead since the last place I wanted to go is yet another Italian restaurant where I couldn’t eat anything. Well… At least not anything that I wanted to. We were out running errands a few Saturdays ago and she cornered me into going. Thinking that I was just going to have a nice wine lunch, I was pleasantly surprised when our waitress brought out Amerigo’s own gluten free menu when I asked about options. The menu had multiple items on it, not the normal 5 items. I enjoyed mussels, which were not on the gluten free menu but they worked wihth me since they were slow at the time and some great salmon. The staff was more than accommodating and knowledgable about gluten issues. Check them out next time you’re on West End in Nashville or in Brentwood, Memphis or Jackson, MS!

Sole Mio, gluten free Italian options in Nashville

September 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

While most Italian good is normally off limits, Sole Mio is there to help. While they do not carry rice noodles, they do offer to help make most of the items gluten free and are very friendly. I highly recommend the Insalata Di Mare and the Prosciutto e Melone for apps and Pesce del Giornio for dinner. The staff was very helpful, after wine it is a little pricy though.

Visit the Sole Mio site.

The Old Spaghetti Factory

August 18, 2011 By 1 Comment

So for the food that is most likely the hardest to do out gluten free I find myself recently eating at a lot of Italian restaurants that end up having a gluten free menu. A great place to take the family is the Old Spaghetti Factory down on 2nd avenue. It’s been there for years, I think one of the only restaurants that is still on 2nd sine I moved to Nashville in 1989. They can substitute any pasta dish with a gluten free corn pasta that is cooked separately to avoid cross contamination. It’s a great, low expense nice meal for the fam except for the fact that most of the time you will have to pay for parking downtown to enjoy.

Gluten free at the Old Spaghetti Factory

June 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Had dinner the other night at the Old Spaghetti Factory on 2nd Avenue in Nashville. We use to go there all the time when family was in town, the nephews always loved sitting in the caboose. Anyway, I heard they had a gluten free menu, but was still a little scared as I always am trying some place that is mainly gluten heavy. The staff was very helpful and I have to say it was some of the best damn gluten free pasta I have had. I highly recommend it.

Suzy Wong’s House of Yum

April 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Last week we finally tried Suzy Wong’s House of Yum at 1515 Church St. In Nashville. They have items noted on their menu as GF for gluten frill along with some vegetarian offerings. For the first time in years I was able to eat chicken wings out. While not a huge fan wings, it always sucks when you a re told you can not have something! They were good for wings, but reminded me of why I don’t really like them. We had some sushi and a great shrimp dish. Give it a try!
