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!
Maggiano’s Little Italy Gluten Free
March 8, 2011 By 1 Comment
My wife and I went to Maggiano’s this weekend to enjoy their gluten free menu options. Everything was great! The staff was very helpful in letting us know what we could order on the menu and even helped us change some menu items around to be gluten free. They can substitute Corn fusilli in any of their non-stuffed pasta dishes or they can create a customized meal just for you! We had the new gilled artichoke without the bread crumbs and it was fantastic. Thanks to everyone at Maggiano’s for a great evening!
The Mellow Mushroom gluten free pizza
February 21, 2011 By 5 Comments
Some times when I look at my post it feels as if all I write about is pizza and where I can find a gluten free version. Well… I like pizza, sorry 
I’ve been a little sad since the closure of Garlic Jim’s in Franklin. I live in the Donelson area so it wasn’t always convenient for me to make it out there but it was my favorite in town. Now I’m left searching for a new pizza place. With this, I’ve recently tried the gluten free pizza option at the Mellow Mushroom. Like Mafiaoza’s, the topping are great! Nothing like getting a pizza with high quality meat products on it! Sorry vegetarians, they do have veggie only options at both places though.
The issue I am having with ordering gluten free pizza out is that it takes a little longer to bake than a normal pizza and the fine folks that are helping us celiac’s out don’t realize that. For the umpteenth time I got a gluten free pizza with high promise only to have to go home and put it in the oven a little longer. The dough was spongy and just needed about 10 minutes longer to become perfect. Other than that, it was a great pizza on par weigh the others I have had recently.
I am grateful to every company that tries to make a gluten free pizza option, we owe you! Please take one word of advice though, cook it a little longer. I want a crust that will not fall apart when i try to fold it like a NY style slice of pie.
the Pfunky Griddle

While normally I stay away from people who use an image of wheat in their logo, we took the nephews to the Pfunky Griddle last weekend on Bransford Avenue. The restaurant is a cute place where people cook their own breakfast on a griddle built into your table. The nephews, 4 and 12, had a great time experiencing that. They have a gluten free pancake mix that was really good and all you can eat for $6.99 adults, kids 10 and under are $4.99. Of course to avoid cross contamination everyone at your table has to eat gluten free, but when you’re buying for the nephews, they can eat what you get
Aunt April’s Gluten Free Bakery
June 5, 2010 By 2 Comments
Back in April, I celebrated my birthday at the Wild Cow in East Nashville and had my first great birthday cake since being diagnosed with Celiac’s and having to go gluten free. Come to find out, it’s from a local bakery called Aunt April’s Gluten Free Bakery. I recently had the privilege of trying her gluten free cookies, bread, brownies and some muffins. All I have to say is YUM! The bread was the same bread used in a great sandwich I had at the Wild Cow which I used to make some sandwiches, cheesy garlic bread and well, it was so good I ate it by itself. It wasn’t spongy like most gluten free breads and didn’t fall apart like others. The cookies were nice and crunchy, the brownies moist. If you have an event or just looking for gluten free stuff around Nashville I highly recommend Aunt April’s Gluten Free Bakery’s products which can be found at the Wild Cow, Matteo’s Pizza, The Green Wagon East Nashville.
Gluten free banana waffles
September 8, 2009 By 3 Comments
So I’ve had them in the freezer for months. My wife wanted to reclaim the freezer space since I wasn’t eating them. Whenever I go grocery shopping if I see something new and gluten free, I buy it, if I like it or not. I was never a huge fan of waffles before being gluten free but I had to buy them. 2 months later… I wish I tried them earlier. Gluten free banana waffles from Trader Joe’s ROCK!
