This morning, the husband and I went to Esau’s for breakfast. It was perfect weather to sit outside on their patio. I ordered the Bacado Omelette. It came with bacon, jack cheese, tomatoes, onions, avocado and sour cream. Instead of toast, I had the option of getting corn tortillas with it! This was perfect, as I made miniature tacos with my dish. I think all breakfast spots should have that option!

On those days that I can’t decide what to eat, tacos are usually the answer. Lilly’s only offers tacos and they are all on corn tortillas so there is no need to worry about cross-contamination with burritos or flour tortillas. I get mine with onions, cilantro and their flavorful, spicy salsa.
I was in the mood for chicken parm last night so I called @oliosantabarbara (the pizzeria) to ask if they would be able to make it gluten-free. They used their grilled chicken instead of the breaded chicken and made sure to cook everything on a clean surface. It came with potatoes and veggies, both of which were GF as is.
Does anyone else feel like Cacio e Pepe is a grown-up’s version of mac n’ cheese? I ordered this cheesy dish from @trelunemontecito last night and it did not disappoint. I paired my dish with an Aperol Spritz. Big Saturday night over here!
@bossieskitchen.sb is back open, and I am so happy they are. Last night, I had their Thursday special - local wild halibut, mushrooms, spring vegetable risotto and gremolata butter. It was GF as is, but they made sure to make the halibut on a clean surface for me.
The tomato feta salad from @blueowlsb may be one of my new favorites. I loved the crunch of the snap peas and sunflower seeds. I added thyme roasted turkey breast which made it super hearty. The ingredients are GF as is, but be sure to ask for it to be made with clean gloves and tools to ensure it stays gluten-free.
Happy National Coffee Cake Day! Do we even need a reason to have @lilacpatisserie coffee cake? I warmed it up when I got home which not only made it taste even better but it made my house smell fantastic!
Esau’s is wonderful, makes substitutions, will take good care of u. My family owns it so i know their secret omelet ingredient -a WHEAT product- that server may not know. Remind readers to insist server (then tip well) asks cook all restaurants, unless menu says gluten-free. Also, only trust La Tolteca: corn tortillas made in separate building from flour! I got cross-glutened many times from ‘corn’ tortillas/chips
Hi Toni,
Thanks for sharing. Your family owns Esau’s? What a great opportunity to encourage them to be more proactive in catering to the gluten-free community! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all of our local eateries had GF labeled menus?! 🙂
