Dining out isn’t just a luxury, for many families it’s a great time to bond, allows people to engage socially, and best of all, offers up the opportunity for someone other than yourself to plan, prep, cook and clean up after a meal. However, for those of us with celiac disease, choosing restaurants can be tricky. First, you have to find out if they have gluten-free offerings, then you have to wonder if there may be cross-contamination issues.
We decided to explore gluten-free restaurants around the United States, that are not only known for their gluten-free menu but also for their flavor combinations. Here’s what we discovered.
Gluten-Free Restaurants in the U.S.
Wheat’s End Cafe in Chicago
In 2015, owners Susan McMillan and Amelia Fonti launched Wheat’s End Café, a 100% gluten-free restaurant. The two owners started cooking gluten-free when a close friend was diagnosed with celiac disease. Around the same time, Fonti learned that she too was gluten-intolerant. Since then, they created a friendly haven where people can eat in or take out delightful baked goods and prepared dishes, drink great coffee, sip a classic cocktail or a glass of wine, and enjoy a unique gluten-free brunch on weekends.
Craving for salads, meatballs, burger, grilled cheese, or biscuits? Don’t forget to visit them on 2873 N Broadway St. Chicago, Illinois 60657 and check out their menu on https://wheatsendcafe.com/.
