I will be attending a conference in Jackson, MS the end of January, and would GREATLY appreciate some help in restaurant selection. I've only been diagnosed Celiac for a few weeks so this is all new to me, but am extremely gluten-sensitive (glad to finally know why I was so sick!)

I know that there is an Outback there, but one person told me that out of three visits, she had two very bad experiences. Supposedly, this one location is not in keeping with the chain's usual level of support for gluten-free patrons. Or maybe others here, can give me a different picture of that same restaurant???

I've adjusted pretty quickly to gluten-free at home and am really pleased with improving health. The ONLY place I've eaten out since dx is one Outback in Memphis, TN....a very POSITIVE experience.

I know that there's a Copeland's of New Orleans very near where I'll be staying. Bob & Ruth's Newsletter highlighted them in 2003, but can't find a copy of that. I'll call the restaurant, but have never even done that before. It's all new.

Anyway, HELP!!! Jackson, Mississippi suggestions anyone? I'll be there for 3 days! Thanks!!

Hmmm, looks like too many of you have traveled to Jackson, MS. I did talk to a friend of mine who lives there, and she said that Bonefish Grille is a great restaurant. She has no experience with the gluten-free side of it, but I think that maybe my best bet.
