Hi everyone,
I wanted to share another good place to eat. They have a computer in the entrance area that you can look at the menu as to what is gluten -free. I had Chicken Gorgonzola, smashed cauliflower, and rice pilaf. They also have Salmon, Baby back ribs and Bbq pork, shrimp. Nice to have one more option out there. Anyone know any more areas in St Louis besides pf changs and outback?
thanks

I did not know that! Thanks for the info. My hubby (who can eat wherever he wants) balks at taking me to PF Changs or Outback. (too pricey) Maybe I can get him to try this place. But our all time favorite eatery is Hannigans on the Landing. I've used my Triumph card there and haven't had a problem (real chef, not a cook - makes a big difference)

Hello,

I have not been on the message board lately, and was so glad to see posts about St. Louis restaurants. There are two other restaurant chains that have a gluten-free menus. The first is Carrabba's Italian Grill in O'Fallon and Creve Coeur and the other is Mimi's Cafe in Chestefield. I have not have any problems eating at these places.

OOH! Chesterfield! I'll have to mapquest that one. We usually go to El Maguey's on Manchester. I don't know if what I've had there is gluten-free, but I haven't ever had a reaction. Thanks!

thanks for the replies . I will try both of these restaurants. What is this Triumph card ?
thanks again
Joyce

Here ya go!

"Other cards stop at "no wheat, rye, barley, or oats." Our cards are different because we don't assume a chef can immediately intuit the things it took us Celiacs months to learn. We clearly list hidden sources of gluten, where they might be found, and other subtleties, like the dangers of cross-contamination.

We also understand that every cuisine is different. For example, the most common hidden source of gluten in Chinese food is soy sauce, in Thai food it's fish sauce, and in Indian food it's a spice called hing. We've created dining cards for six global cuisines, and each card is different, calling out the hidden sources of gluten unknown even to many native chefs!

Our cards are the product of meticulous research, editing, and translation. We interviewed chefs from around the world and reviewed hundreds of cookbooks and product labels. We teamed up with over a dozen native speakers educated at America's top Ivy League universities (including, Harvard, Wharton, and Stanford) to carefully write and translate each card. The result is a set of cards that goes far beyond any other dining cards you will ever find.

Multi-lingual:

Available for the six most useful foreign cuisines for dining in the U.S.
Trustworthy:

Written, researched and thoroughly tested by a Celiac, who is also a Harvard-educated attorney and published author.

Translated, edited and extensively proofed by at least two Ivy League-educated, native speakers per card, delivering the clearest, most accurate translation possible.
Effective:

Each card is different - unlike other cards, the content is specific to its cuisine. For example, the Japanese card prohibits imitation crab, soy sauce, and tempura, while the Mexican card prohibits flour tortillas

Each card covers the common and hidden sources of gluten, some unfamiliar to even well-informed native chefs.

Specifically highlights celiac-friendly, safe foods.

Covers important nuances like cross-contamination.

Takes the average chef just over 1 minute to read and understand.
Convenient:

Foldable to be wallet-sized.

Laminated to be durable."


I keep meaning to order these, but I haven't gotten around to it

Good luck, and enjoy yourself!!!

Think of it as an inexpensive but great investment in your health!!! You'll never be sorry you have them. Mine came on the same day we were taking my mother out for dinner. I was planning on ordering the beef tips, but because of the cards, the cook advised me not to since they were marinated in teriaki sauce and couldn't guarantee them. Had chicken instead. Anyhow, I highly recommend them.

You're post is from forever ago, but I just want to make sure you know about Try Maggiano's little Italy in Brentwood by the Galleria. They have a great gluten free pasta and the chef will come to your table so you get to pick a sauce that you can be asured is gluten free. And all the salad dressings are gluten free too. Its really a wonderful restaurant.
