  i have noticed that one of my postings of GF eating in NYC has been copied
pretty much word for word on the Silly Yak website under Links: Gluten
Free in NYC.
i don't mind that my observations were used on this site but i make no
guarantee
of the GF status of food that i do not prepare myself.
some of these are restaurants that i can relate intelligently to the
waiters and they take precautions in providing me with what i need.
but it's practically nonexistant to find restaurants in any city that i
would
consider "gluten-free". The most we can hope for is "moderately gluten
literate".

i only listed restaurants where i didn't have to
interrogate the waiters as if it were the nuremburg trials.  that is not
a textbook definition of GF.

also, some of these restaurants I got off our celiac list myself and
have never even eaten there.
i just keep them on my own list that i carry in my pocket in the event i
need to
eat in a particular neighborhood.

just because i can find broiled salmon in a restaurant that can be
served without a sauce,
marination or dressing - doesn't make that a GF-friendly restaurant.
half the time they screw
up my order and i send them back to remake it.
i would be suspicious of any restaurant that makes any claims to being
gluten free
unless they are health food restaurants, and even still, mistakes occur
with
uninformed staff.
