This past weekend I went on a lunch date with my 96-year old grandma. She loves a good sandwich, so we decided to try the new location of Pickles & Swiss at Hollister Village in Goleta. When ordering, I found out that the cashier thought she may have celiac. Not so awesome for her, but awesome for me as I knew that she would ensure my sandwich would remain gluten-free. She had the staff change their gloves and the sandwich was placed on a GF-specified tray before being heated in the toaster. I had the tuna melt which was perfectly gooey and yummy. If you are in downtown Santa Barbara, you can also try their Paseo Nuevo location. I’ve eaten successfully at that location a handful of times as well since I wrote about them 4 years ago.

I ended up ordering Blanca’s Burrito Bowl. Even though it has a GF marked next to it on the menu, I found out that the chicken may be prepared on a shared surface. They were able to have the kitchen make it in a clean pan for me to prevent cross contamination. I LOVED this bowl. It was both filling and tasty!
A special shoutout to @katzglutenfree for making our morning a little bit sweeter. I found these in the frozen aisle @gelsonsmarkets and they did not disappoint. They are GF, nut-free and delicious!
With temperatures up, opt for a lighter dinner @trelunemontecito - last night I had their special salad which was a Burrata, heirloom tomato and peach salad. I also had the Insalata di Fagioli with grilled shrimp. Everything was GF as is and delicious!
Last night’s pan-seared local sea bass from @bouchonsantabarbara was delicious. It doesn’t matter who our server is, they are all super knowledgeable and accommodating about dietary restrictions!
Happy National Veggie Burger Day! I celebrated at @islandssb with their Impossible Burger on a GF bun. Request your fries to be made in their GF fryer and enjoy!
Nothing says summer like a lobster roll. While @broadstreetoysterco doesn’t have GF rolls, you can order yours protein style and bring it home to put on your own gluten-free roll. I had the lobster roll warm with butter protein style. I asked them to change their gloves when preparing my order as they have many items with gluten. I also confirmed that the only ingredients used were lobster, butter and chives and that they could prepare it with clean tools and a clean surface. This went great with a @canyonglutenfree sub roll and some @kettlebrand potato chips!
