For anyone living in Southeast Michigan....a new market has just opened in Clawson, MI and the ENTIRE market (groceries, deli, prepared food, hot piping pizzas to go!, absolutely everything) is Gluten Free!!!! Can you believe it? Word is getting out folks! The website is belcibo.com
Check it out!

I'm jealous!

Wow! I'm so excited, I might try and get there today.
Didn't I see this chef at the last food fair? In Ocotober 2005?

I'm jealous, too . But really, that is a good sign and hopefully there will be more to come. Enjoy your new "gold mine"!

SofiEmiMom - thank you *SO MUCH* for sending this information! Several people I work with are gluten-free and were positively giddy when I forwarded the website. We're planning to road trip soon. Can you imagine a shopping trip where you don't have to read every stinking label?? Woohoo!

I'm jealous too, but in a good way! I wish I lived near that goldmine! I e-mailed the Chef my kudos and well wishes for great success, and got a very nice e-mail back from him. He suggested telling all the Celiacs in my area about the concept and maybe just maybe someone will decide to open one up around here! So... spread the idea around your area's ... get your local business people to consider opening up something like this in your area... It could be like a virus! We could be EVERYWHERE!

Thanks so much for letting us know about this place. I live in Northville, MI and am going to go there this week!

I went there today! I ordered the garliac cheese bread, it was very good.
For anyone taking the road trip there... They will order from Celiac Specialties in Chesterfield. The donuts are the best! Call ahead and get your order in.

I live in Comstock Park near Grand Rapids, any of those around the west side of the state?

Chef Andrew has opened this one store. His dad was diagnosed with Celiac a few years ago. Maybe he would consider sharing his experience for others to open up shops or consider selling franchises.

Gluten Free Dining in Wayne County Michigan

I just found a great Italian restaurant in Livonia that offers gluten free dining.
