<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Below are the responses I got for traveling in Memphis, Tupelo, MS & Huntsville, Alabama. Thank you very much to all those who responded. I consider this to be one of the best perks of the list. (Traveling information) Unfortunately I didn't get anything on Huntsville, but that's where I'll have the most helpful relatives. I'll report back on any successes there. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Sidona/Calif. Memphis: 1) There is a Wild Oats (natural food grocery) between Poplar and Perkins between White Station and Yates. Just in case I'm wrong -- it's almost two years since I've been there -- you might want to check their website for the exact location (www.wildoats.com) I just checked and they are indeed still located on Poplar. Also, you can see if they are located near your other travel locations. Available on their site is also a GF list (partial -- my local Wild Oats has stuff they don't mention on the website and of course they don't mention the various Health Valley, Amy's or Thai Kitchen products that are GF and available). Have a good trip and eat safe! Jane (in Ohio but fond of Memphis, TN) 2) I lived in Memphis for 14 years. I've been in Texas for 3 months. During my moving transition, my husband and I stay at Marriott Residence Inn, 9314 Poplar Pike, Germantown, TN 38138 1-901-752-0900 Fax: 1-901-312-0579 Reservations: 1-800-331-3131 Joseph M. Tramontozzi, Assistant General Manager. I'd ignore the 800 number and just phone direct. Sometimes the 800 operator tells people there are no empty rooms when there are. This is a new place. They have a grocery list you can fill out. They will purchase the items before your arrival and have them in your room when you get there. The grocery store: Seessel by Albertsons is just a walk away. All the sites are convenient to get to, as well as the highway to Mississippi (which is only a 10 minutes drive). Here is a list of places that have served me gluten-free food. Wild Oats on Poplar Ave. I cannot find the phone number. Dairy Queen and Wendy's are just a walk from the Residence Inn Dairy Queen, 901-751-1600 Wendy's, 901-756-1141 Outback Steakhouse, 1110 N. Germantown Rd.,901-751-9800 Perkins Family Restaurant, 1340 Germantown Rd. 901-759-5938 Perkins Family Restaurant, 960 W. Poplar Ave. Collierville 901-854-5111 Picadilly Cafeteria, 2055 Exeter Rd. Germantown 901-755-5603 Romano's Macaroni Grill, 6705 Poplar Ave. Germantown 901-753-6588 Steak and Ale on Poplar Ave. I cannot find the phone number To get to downtown Memphis, from this hotel, just exit the parking lot onto Poplar Avenue and head west. It deadends at the Mississippi River downtown. About a 30-40 minutes drive. It's a lot better to avoid staying in downtown hotels. I hope you have a great time. Memphis has a celiac support group. Perhaps one of the members will be in touch with you. Sandra from Georgetown, Texas 3) There is a Wild Oats in Memphis. It's located on Poplar, near the University of Memphis... sorry I am away at school, so I don't know many restaurants there. Nikki 4) You'll be traveling very close to where I live. I live in Fulton which is about 18 miles from Tupelo. I've been trying to think of some advice on restaurants but really can't recommend any particular ones. I do very well at Outback. There's one in Tupelo. I also do well at Los Margaritas on Industrial Rd. in Tupelo. There are a couple of Asian markets in Huntsville, but none that I know of in Tupelo. On S. Gloster in Tupelo is the Hancock Health Food Store. They have never been much help to me, but you can try it. The Albertsons Supermarket in Tupelo has lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. It's our favorite grocery. I haven't been able to find much in Memphis but surely there's plenty. Eating at restaurants that prepare fresh food (the better ones) has been safe for me. I usually call ahead and speak to the manager of head chef. Then they're prepared for me and there are no surprises. I apologize for being of so little help. Are you planning to summarize? I be curious to see what you find out. Enjoy your trip South. Ginger
