I get disgusted trying to find more than one place to eat out GF in MN...
I'm pretty sensitive..
I can't eat at Macaroni Grill, even their GF food, because there is too
much flour in the air
from their pizza open grill and dough handling.
PF Changs in Edina at Southdale and Maple Grove at the large mall area is
really terrific for
preparing GF. Their allied company Pei Wei is less than adequate even
though they have one
or two things GF on their menu.
My favorite grocery and fresh food deli spots are these, which are fairly
easy to find..
1. MTKA has a new Whole Foods on Plymouth Rd, a block north of I-394.
2. Mtka: Lakewinds Coop is at Minnetonka Blvd and Hwy 101; food labeling
on the shelves here is exceptionally good.
Ask at the front for guidance before wandering around. They have a good
deli as well for fresh foods.
3. Mpls: Seward Coop at Franklin Av and Riverside is just north of I-394 n
ear the Mississippi river, on the Mpls side.
Take 24th St OR Riverside exit and go a block to the south. Food labeling
on the shelves here is also
excellent. I love their deli and they label every item in their hot food
area. Lots of GF choices here too.
Again, ask at the front for guidance before wandering around.
4. Robbinsdale: Cub Foods at Hwy 100 and 36th Av has a very large GF
section in "dry foods" and in a smaller frozen
area. Their deli is useless for us. They have really tried pretty hard to
get some main items into a
very large GF section of shelving near the front. Again, ask first for
direction.
5: Shoreview and Woodbury: Fresh&Natural Foods is the very best in the
area for stocking up on great supplies, but
the closest one is in Shoreview (North of Rosedale on Hwy 96 just East of
Hwy 35W) and I hear there is another in
Woodbury (Way East, east of the large 494/694 eastern edge).
Superknowledgable staff (about GF) are probably at Seward Coop and
Fresh&Natural.

chip cookies.
