<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I thought I'd pass on some good news for celiacs. For the past 3 years Bob & Ruth Levy have organized the Gluten-free Getaway to Nassau and numerous GF dinners at local restaurants, including national chains (Don Pablo's, Romano's Macaroni Grill). In so doing they have acquired a considerable amount of experience and some degree of expertise. Many of you have requested they arrange other types of trips, dinners and/or GF-friendly menus at restaurant chains (both nationally and in your area), and workshops to teach Celiacs how to deal with eating out and/or to set up GF dinners. In response to these requests they are going to make a full-time business commitment to "BOB & RUTH'S Gluten- Free DINING & TRAVEL CLUB". Membership will include: a quarterly newsletter covering "lifestyle" - not medical - issues; special rates on at least four GF Getaways a year (cruises, family resorts, etc); as well as their best efforts in addressing your requests on issues such as airline food. I believe they can make a difference in allowing Celiacs to enjoy life almost as easily as everyone else.
