Red Stag Menu

This past weekend I dined at the Reg Stag in NorthEast Minneapolis.  I enjoyed my steak and wine, but the thing that impressed me the most was their menu.  The Red Stag did a great job of identifying items that were either gluten-free or could be modified to become gluten-free.  Thank you, Red Stag, for caring about the gluten-free crowd.

Town Hall Tap - new Minneapolis Pub

Town Hall Tap recently opened in South Minneapolis (48th and Chicago) and I, for one, am really excited.  I was impressed by their beer selection - 2 ales and 3 ciders are clearly labeled as gluten-free.  The food menu doesn't call out gluten-free items, but they are willing to modify items to accommodate the gluten-free crowd.  I enjoyed my beer and meal and will definitely go back again.

Gigi's cafe - veggie tamale

Gigi's cafe is one of my favorite places to pick up a quick bit to-go.  I was very saddened tonight to find out Gigi's is no longer offering the best item on the menu, the veggie tamale.  I know it's under new ownership, but I can't believe they got rid of the tamale.  It was amazing and gluten-free and I hope they bring it back.  For those of you that eat at Gigi's, please request them to offer tamales again.

Lund's and Byerly's - gluten-free to-go

When trying to get good food fast I'm usually jealous of my friends and family who can eat sandwiches, soup and other quick items.  I was recently impressed by the to-go/deli area of Lund's and Byerly's grocery stores.  There is a clearly marked section with gluten-free dinners and sides to bring home and warm up.  I tried a couple of the Indian dishes and they are really good.  I'm impressed by the taste and the ease of shopping.
