First of all, I would like to thank everyone that sent suggestions for 
Dallas/Fort Worth. 

I would like to add two more suggestions that I successfully ate at while in 
Irving this past week! I went to The 'Saltgrass Steak House' at 102 State Hwy. 
114 East in Grapevine one evening for dinner. I did not know if they could 
accommodate my GF needs but my coworkers, whom I was traveling with encouraged 
me to ask (which I thanked them for the encouragement and support). I spoke 
with the Manager on duty, Mike Cass and he was aware of the GF diet and was 
extremely helpful! He personally oversaw my meals preparation and continued to 
consult with me on every detail. I also returned there another day for lunch and 
different manager was on duty, Bill Chmielewski. He was not as familiar with my 
needs but listened to me as I explained it and he also took extra steps to 
make sure my meal was prepared properly. Cudos to both of these gentlemen and to 
the Saltgrass. I cannot speak for the other locations in the Dallas area, but 
this particular location was very helpful.

The second place I went for dinner was 'Cantina Laredo' at 4546 Belt Line 
Road, Addison, Texas. I had called the other 'Cantina Laredo' earlier in the day 
to ask the manager if they could assist me in a GF meal. The manager there was 
very helpful I had thought that was the one we were going to, but when we 
arrived, I quickly realized we had gone to a different one. Eduardo Garcia was 
the manager on duty at this place and at first he did not understand what I 
needed. I quickly explained it to him and he went to call the manager at the other 
restaurant, whose name is Chris Morgan. He apparently was not able to speak 
to him, but got more info from me did some quick research and was also very 
accomodating. He came back several times and consulted with me regarding 
ingredients in sauces and other dishes. He prepared me a wonderful GF meal and I 
survived the entire trip without getting poisoned once! So the 'Cantina Laredo' I 
ate at and the one I called both appear to be excellent choices for Celiacs!

Cudos to the Dallas area. I was treated very well (and I am even  Broncos fan 
and was wearing my Broncos jacket)  Ü ---  I enjoyed my trip (for a business 
trip) and look forward to the opportunity to visit Dallas/Fort Worth again!
