The Celiac Diners are an informal group, with the Chicago chapter of
CSA/USA, that meets several times a year for gluten free meals at area
restaurants. We discuss menus with the restaurant in advance, and work with
the chef/managers for a gluten free dining experience.

We have selected Cyrano's, a bustling, friendly French bistro in Chicago's
River North area. Chef/owner Didier Durand was born in Bergerac in southwest
France, hence the reference to the tuber-nosed novelist of the same town.
Durand has an impeccable resume: After graduating from the Lycee Hotelier
cooking school in Bergerac, he spent two years at France's Michel Guerard
restaurant, then came to the States in 1986. He was a principal in the
kitchens of Carlos', Gordon, Le Perroquet and Yvette Wintergarden before
opening Cyrano's in 1996.

We have reservations for 6:00 pm on Saturday, February 2, at 546 N. Wells
St. in Chicago. Valet parking is available.

We will have a 'fixed' menu, including:

  Cured olives and vegetable medley
  Mesclun salad
  Coq au vin or Grilled norwegian salmon
  Risotto
  Chocolate mousse and/or creme brulee

Price is $32.50 per person, including gratuity, excluding wine.

Persons without celiac can either have the same menu, or order off the
regular menu.

Children are definitely welcome! If you would like to attend or would like
more information, please call Joel or Cessy Roth, 773-955-1597, or
[log in to unmask] no later than Sunday, January 27.
