There may not be a restaurant in Santa Barbara loved by both locals and tourists alike as much as Brophy Brothers. With views of the harbor and mountains, it is a great spot to grab a drink and some seafood. There was a group of 5 of us and it was a beautiful day, so we knew there would be a little bit of a wait. We were told 35 minutes, but it ended up being a little over an hour. When we were finally seated and I had a chance to check out the menu, I noticed they had gluten-free buns. After talking to our waitress about cross contamination with the bun, I ordered the tuna melt. It had a heaping amount of tuna with melted, gooey cheese. It typically comes with fries, but they are made in a contaminated fryer. I turned down salad as a side since I figured the tuna melt would be plenty of food, which it was.

It is located in the basement of @chelseamarketny inside of @pearlrivermartfoods . I had the spicy pork kimbap roll with a spicy mustard aioli. Not only was it delicious but it was filling too. I’m definitely adding this spot to my rotation for subsequent visits!
For spring break, I brought the kiddos to NY to spend the week with my family. The first day started with breakfast from the entirely GF @modernbreadandbagel . We then visited the Statue of Liberty to check out Lady Liberty’s right foot (thank you #daveeggers ). I had lunch delivered from the entirely GF @naminori.nyc and then dinner @pastisnyc with fries made in their dedicated GF fryer. I am certainly eating well!
Last week, I enjoyed the black bean quinoa sweet potato burger at the dedicated GF @greentablesb . Rather than having it wrapped in romaine, I opted for a cauliflower bun. The chipotle aioli that came on it was super flavorful. This burger was their special of the week. I found out that the burger that is on their permanent menu is served cold which didn’t sound appealing to me!
My daughter and I just got back from another trip to @socalfoodallergy in Long Beach. We stopped at the entirely GF @kirariwest to try out their new gluten-free waffle options. There are two locations within the same shopping center. The waffle offerings are located at their Confections location. I had the ham and gruyere sandwich made with their amazingly delicious GF waffle. This was so good that we decided to split one of the sweet waffle options for dessert. After confirming that there would be no cross contamination with my daughter’s allergens, we dug into the strawberry and chocolate waffle which came with whipped cream and powdered sugar. I’m not even a big sweets person but this was fantastic!
A few weeks ago, I enjoyed a meal @lapalomasb with one of my friends from college that was visiting (Go Gauchos!). I had the Red Oak Grilled Snake River Farms Wagyu Tri Tip which was delicious and went great with the Late Night Margarita. I always find everyone at La Paloma super knowledgeable about their ingredients and how to avoid cross-contamination. Plus, they have one of my favorite outdoor patios!
A while back, I returned to @tygertygersb to have another helping of the Tyger Bowl. I decided to try some other items while I was there. The crispy rice salad is marked GF but if you have celiac, there is cross contamination with the crispy rice part which had been prepared earlier that day. However, the head chef was there and found some rice that hadn’t been prepared yet and was able to make it safely for me. I also tried the Daigaku Imo which had a delicious flavor. Dessert was the Ube Cheesecake which was naturally GF!
