Lucky’s

19 Sep

I know that for many, Lucky’s isn’t the kind of place that you can afford to go to often. So if you are a pinch, follow these directions and you will be a very happy camper.

1. Go into the bar area and take a seat

2. Ask for an order of the onion rings but request that they be made using rice flour

3. Enjoy the people watching while you wait for the thinnest, most melt-in-your-mouth onion rings you have ever had

4. Upon receiving the onion rings, devour them. They are that good.

Tre Lune

19 Sep

Tre Lune has always been one of my favorite places to eat in the area. At one point, we were eating there so often, that we even got a miniature chair with our name on it that is now hanging on the wall. You know those places where everything is so good but you always seem to order the same thing? This is one of those for me. I always start with the Insalata de Fagioli and then get a GF pasta. That’s right. They have GF pasta. As always, remind the staff to take the precautions necessary to keep your meal gluten-free. And if you can’t decide between all of the choices, Penne alla Norma is simple, yet delicious. Drizzle a little of their hot oil on top and you have an uber satisfying meal.

Lazy Acres

18 Sep

Don’t get me wrong. I love Lazy Acres. They have such a great selection of GF products. Also, since returning to Santa Barbara, I have discovered through a GF friend of mine that they now have pizzas in their prepared foods display. BUT, for a place that is so accommodating to people on special diets, I find it disappointing they don’t have gluten-free bread or wraps available as an option at their sandwich counter. They even sell a variety of suitable breads in the store! Perhaps if I call them numerous times from different phone numbers asking about gluten-free sandwiches, they will consider it. (I know I sound crazy, but this has proven to be an effective technique before!)

Fresco Cafe

18 Sep

My husband and I went to Fresco Cafe the other night. I used to always order one of their salads, but as I looked at the menu, a phrase jumped out at me. It said, “Ask your cashier about wheat free pasta”. So I did. It turns out it is gluten-free pasta (I am not sure why they didn’t just write that). They use a quinoa pasta, and the way it was prepared was quite tasty.
