While in Washington, DC recently I had the  opportunity to have dinner with
several celiac friends at the Bella Mando  Restaurant.  The restaurant is
located inside the Bethesda Marriott  Hotel at 5151 Pooks Hill Road in Bethesda, MD
and is commonly called  the Pooks Hill Marriott.

We made contact with the Executive Chef, Kathleen  Wellington, who was on
duty that evening, because the group had both celiac AND  dairy eating
restrictions.

The results were fantastic.  Presentation was  beautiful; taste was
excellent; and concerns were zero.  Kathleen is  extremely knowledgeable about foods,
food preparation, celiac disease, and  customer needs.  Based on my experience,
I would ask if Kathleen is on duty  any time I was there because I would know
she would make my dining a distinct  pleasure.

I have no connection with Kathleen or the  Marriott, but I enjoy good, safe
dining out and hope you have an opportunity to  enjoy it also.
