Todd and I took the boys on a family date night last Friday to dinner and a movie. We decided to go to a certain restaurant, Interurban, because somebody told us they had a GF menu.
Yeah, well... that GF menu was a faxed 5-sheet menu that basically had the restaurant's entire menu on it with the words "Gluten Free Menu" on top. But beware! This "GF Menu" had such items as beer muffins (double whammy- beer is made from wheat and barley malt, and muffins, obviously, made with wheat flour), as well as pasta dishes and other suspect items.
Moral of the story: most restaurants with a Gluten Free menu have done their homework and are educated in preparing foods GF, but every now and then you will come across a place that obviously doesn't have a clue. Use your common sense when checking out those menus and eat at places you feel comfortable with. Bon Appetite!
Did you call a manager over to explain to them that these items are NOT gluten-free? I guess most people who have celiac disease are going to know not to eat those things, but if someone is just wanting to do a gluten-free diet, they may not know. Crazy. Today is Maddie's birthday and she wants to go to Red Robin tonight. I think they have a GF menu. Time to do some research....
