Hi Listmates,

I you live in Toronto, O.N or ever visit here, the Jack Astor's at Front St
and University now has a gluten-free version of the core menu. I spent a
several weeks compling this in my spare time and it is will soon be posted
where the servers have access to it. I do work there, and eat there
frequently as well. But, for the lists benefit, here it is in its entirety.
This menu only applies to this location, as recipes do differ at some
locations. I will try my best to keep it updated, and to post gluten-free
versions of the 'festival' and 'seasonal' menus.

Thanks very much for your time,
Jac the Celiac

GLUTEN-FREE MEAL SUGGESTIONS

NOTE: Some items on this menu have to be specially modified and may take
longer to prepare. Also, as in all non-dedicated kitchens there is the
possibility of cross-contamination between items. We will however make the
utmost effort to prevent this, and provide you with an excellent experience.

START UPS

LOBSTER CRAB DIP- order with all nachos.

J.D SHRIMP- the coating is a blend of rice flour and cornstarch. The BBQ
sauce is gluten-free.

BEEF FAJITA NACHOS- order vegetarian, as the chili is not gluten-free.

chicken wings. Also, order no blue cheese dipping sauce. The hot, medium, or
