Just thought that I would share - I had the best gluten-free experience at
Kaze (a japanese restaurant) in Roscoe Village in Chicago. I usually have to go
through a litany of explaining what gluten is, how it is spelled, and then have
the waiter check with the chef and figure out what kind of vinegar and soy
sauce they use and how they prepare it (in a clean area and not on the same
surface as the other sushi). We went in on Tuesday at 6:30 without a
reservation. The waiter knew exactly what I was talking about without any
explanation, knew exactly what on the menu had gluten, and even surprised
me with a bowl of gluten-free soy sauce without my asking (I usually bring
packets of gluten-free soy sauce with me). It was a really positive
experience, and I didn't have to make a huge deal of of my disease, which I
typically have to do each time I eat out. As an aside, my husband (who is
not a fan of sushi) had a fantastic entree as well - it smelled wonderful, and
he ate everything on his plate - an unusual event when we go out for
japanese. I'm extremely sensitive, so I waited 2 days just to be sure there
was no unexpected surprises after dinner. So far, I'm OK. So... I imagine this
will become one of our favorite places to eat!
