Sammy’s at LAX

19 Dec

GF Symbol on MenuWe just got back from a trip to Utah for some skiing. On our way there, we had a three-hour layover at LAX (Come on SBA… how about a direct flight to SLC?!) We stumbled upon Sammy’s in Terminal 4 and noticed that the menu had gluten-free and vegetarian items clearly labeled. When we sat down, they gave us a different menu than the one that was displayed. This new menu had less options but I still had a couple of choices. We ordered the edamame to start.

EdamameFor my main dish, I had the Greek Salad with grilled chicken on top.

Greek SaladThis was certainly a step above typical airport fare. I usually don’t like to complain, especially on here, but they need to work out some kinks still with timing. My husband got his pizza after about 10 minutes. I didn’t get the edamame or salad for about 30 minutes. When I did finally get the salad, it had no dressing on it even though we had confirmed it was GF. So, if you have a tight connection, this may not be the spot for you. But if you have time to spare, you have a GF friendly spot in terminal 4!

Lemonade at LAX

23 Oct

This past weekend I was in Ohio for a family wedding. On my way back to Santa Barbara, I had a two hour layover in Los Angeles at LAX. To my surprise, I found a very gluten-free friendly place called Lemonade in Terminal 5. Lemonade had a clear labeling system so that it was easy to determine which items were gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan or had high protein. The first item I had was the Santa Fe beluga lentils, hearts of palm and jicama.

The second item I had was the avocado with cherry tomatoes, pine nuts and lime. The third item I tried was cauliflower, red bell peppers and peas.

I loved how much variety there was. It was so nice to be able to have choices at an airport of all places! Well done Los Angeles International Airport in bringing a gluten-free friendly option to your travelers!
