Old Hickory Steakhouse at Gaylord Opryland Resort

Lobster and Corn Bisque

Lobster and Corn Bisque

My wife and I had a great dinner to end 2011 on tonight at Old Hickory Steakhouse at Gaylord Opryland Resort. During Christmas season there’s not just great Christmas lights, ICE! and DreamWorks animation characters around, there’s fantastic gluten free dining too! Each of Gaylord Opryland’s restaurants has gluten free options, some even gluten free bread and beer. Old Hickory, while not offering a specific gluten free menu, the chef will come by and walk you through all the options ensuring there is plenty for you to enjoy!

Tonight we started off with the Lobster and Corn Bisque, well… after we started off with a glass of wine of course. I’m one of those people who when I see any bisque on the menu, I have to ask. Knowing that other Gaylord properties have this on the gluten free menu at their Old Hickory Steakhouse, I was looking forward to it and boy, did it deliver. All the rich and creamy bisqueness anyone could ask for!

Next up was dinner. We both had the 8 oz. filet mignon topped with Maytag bleu cheese with asparagus and hollandaise sauce and bleu cheese and thyme potatoes au gratin as sides. When we talked to the chef, the potatoes had to be altered, so make sure your waiter know about your gluten allergy to ensure that you don’t have problems later.

Overall, everything was absolutely fabulous! As I’m typing this, I’m still basking in the glow of the meal. If you get a chance and have a special occasion coming up, I highly recommend celebrating it at Old Hickory!

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: $$

Sperry’s Restaurant – New Gluten Free Menu

December 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

So if you’re in Belle Meade or Franklin (Cool Springs) area and in the mood for a great steak, Sperry’s is the place for you. It’s on the pricey side, but Mmmm, it’s worth it. The staff is great with food allergies and the have a great gluten free menu. Watch out though, ask questions! They list their Shoe String Potatoes on the gluten free menu and they are not done in a dedicated fryer. I didn’t think about it when I ordered them and then when they came I asked. They double checked and much to my dismay, I couldn’t have them.

Price range: $$$$$

Yolo’s in Green Hills Gluten Free Menu

December 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

One of my favorite things to do with my wife on the weekends is dinner and a movie. Dinner has become standard at Yolo’s in Green Hills. They have a small dedicated gluten free menu and the staff is very helpful on making other dishes gluten free as well. My favorite dish is the shrimp and grits. The sauce is great and the chorizo adds a little extra kick to it. It’s great on their Sunday brunch menu and their dinner menu. Other great gluten free items are the Chilean Sea Bass, Blackened Salmon and the White Cheddar Burger. Their gluten free menu is not online, but you can pretty much pick out the items. Enjoy!

the Wild Cow

April 18, 2011 By 4 Comments

Last week we finally tried the Wild Cow over in east Nashville. They are a vegetarian restaurant that also has gluten free options (see gluten free menu here). I had a portabella mushroom sandwich and all I can say is wow! Don’t know which gluten free bread that they used but it was the best that I have had. I had a quinoa side that was also nice. I recommend trying it if you get. Chance!

Updated: The bread they use is from Aunt April’s Bakery and it rocks!

Lenny’s Sub Shop fills the Philly cheesesteak void

November 19, 2008 By Leave a Comment

So, I haven’t been eating out at all recently so sorry no updates! I did run out to lunch today though and grabbed one of my favorite things, the grilled steak salad at Lenny’s. I use to love philly cheese steaks and well, not I miss them. Thanks to Lenny’s, now I can basically have one, just without the bread. After a year of not having a philly cheese steak… you won’t miss the bread at all!
