$45.00 Gift Certificate Giveaway & Review: Outback Steakhouse - Gluten Free Menu!

I have made it my personal mission to find as many restaurants with gluten free menu options as possible, and share my findings with you.  I am always pleased when I find a well rounded gluten free dining experience, such as the one my family recently experienced at the Outback Steakhouse in Kirkland Washington.

The first thing that struck me as a good sign was that our waiter handed us a "real" professionally printed, laminated gluten free menu, as opposed to a computer print out that I had to request upon arrival.  In my opinion, this indicates that gluten free diners are looked at as equals to non-gluten free diners, not as "after thoughts."  It makes me feel like the special dietary needs of the gluten free diner will be taken seriously, as they well should be.

The Outback Steakhouse in Kirkland Washington's Manager Jesse Duncan, and our waiter Jeff Ellis definitely took the gluten free needs of my family seriously, and made sure that everyone had a safe and delicious meal.  We felt that both Jesse and Jeff went above and beyond our expectations to ensure that my family had a fabulous gluten free dining experience.

The Outback Steakhouse has completed the GIG (Gluten Intolerance Group) Gluten Free Restaurant Awareness Program (GFRAP); "Through this comprehensive program, participating restaurants have been provided with specifically designed gluten-free diet reference materials, meal preparation guidelines, employee awareness posters, and sources for gluten-free foods; further, there is on-going liaison between the restaurant and the Program. The restaurants have agreed to prepare meals that they believe to be gluten-free --- although this cannot be guaranteed."


Because of Outback Steakhouse's participation in the Gluten-Free Restaurant Awareness Program, I felt confident confidence that the staff had an awareness of how to offer gluten free diners a worry-free meal!  I wish every restaurant would follow in Outback Steakhouse's footsteps and complete the GIG Gluten-Free Restaurant Awareness Program (GFRAP)!

I am completely impressed with the versatility of Outback Steakhouse's Gluten Free Menu; they were able to cater to the varying taste of my family, which includes not only gluten free, but also dairy free, pescetarian and omnivore family members!  Thank you Outback, for creating a menu that even families with diverse tastes like mine can all enjoy together!

But What About the Food?

Ah yes, the food!  The gloriously gluten free, mouth-watering food. I would like to share the scrumptious gluten free meal that my family ordered from the Outback Steakhouse's Gluten Free Menu (keep in mind this is just what we ordered... their are many more selections on Outback Steakhouse's Gluten Free Menu which are not listed here!):

Appetizer:

Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie GF; Sprinkled with seasonings and delicately grilled. Served with remoulade sauce.  We devoured this in mere seconds... Outback's secret seasoning blend on the shrimp was almost addictive, and the sauce was insanely delicious!

Salads:

Filet Wedge Salad GF; Tender sliced filet with a cool, crisp wedge of fresh Iceberg lettuce, Blue Cheese dressing, grape tomatoes, red onions, bacon and Blue Cheese crumbles, drizzled with a sweet balsamic glaze. Avoid Blue Cheese dressing.  All of us but one ordered this fabulous wedge salad; the Balsamic glaze drizzled on top really hit a home run with us... it took this salad from great to amazing!  Note:  We decided to eat the Blue Cheese dressing even though the menu says to avoid it, because I feel that recent studies have shown that blue cheese is indeed safe on a gluten free diet.  Please make this choice for yourself, based on your own beliefs.


Caesar Salad GF;

Crisp romaine with freshly made croutons and a choice of Grilled Chicken or Shrimp on the Barbie. Request no croutons.  My son ordered the Caeser and said that this was the best Caeser Dressing he had ever had!  Upon talking to Jeff, our waiter, he informed us that Outback Steakhouse makes all of their salad dressings from scratch, in house!  No wonder they tasted so good! 

Entrees: 

King Crab (limited markets) GF; 1-1/4 lb. of mouth watering King Crab legs served with one of our Signature Side Salads and a choice of one side. Order veggies without seasonings or substitute with baked potato.  My daughter and I both ordered the King Crab, and let me tell you I felt like I was the "Queen of Crab" eating this... it-was-superb!  Cooked perfectly, sweet, tender and heavenly.  The Garlic Mashed Potatoes on the side were truly a comfort food and complemented the crab wonderfully.

Baby Back Ribs GF; These fall-off-the-bone ribs are exactly the way ribs should be. Succulent and saucy, each rack is smoked, grilled to perfection and brushed in a tangy BBQ sauce. Served with Aussie Fries. Aussie Fries are not GF. Order veggies without seasonings or substitute with baked potato.  My son is a rib fanatic, and ordered a full stack of these ribs.  He couldn't believe the HUGE portions, and said the ribs were extremely tender.  Good thing our waiter Jeff brought him plenty of napkins, he loved these ribs, and his face showed it!

Joey Sirloin GF; Includes a beverage and choice of side. Aussie Fries are not GF. Order veggies without seasonings or substitute with baked potato.  My young daughter who has Celiac disease ordered the sirloin from the "Joey" menu, which is designed for kids under 10 years old.  Kudos to Outback Steakhouse, for actually having a gluten free kids menu!  This is the first time I have ever seen a restaurant do this; usually I have to negotiate a gluten free kids size serving at kid sized prices with the management, because their gluten free offerings are tailored for adult diners.  My daughter's steak was tender, and was served with a baked potato and steamed veggies.  Even the Joey sized meal was sizable, and she had plenty of yummy left-overs to bring home for the next day.  My daughter gives Outback Steakhouses Gluten Free Joey Menu "two thumbs up!"

Dessert:


My young daughter with Celiac Disease is also dairy free, so my family did not want to hurt her feelings buy eating the gluten free dessert option in front of her (dessert is called Chocolate Thunder From Down Under® GF;  An extra generous pecan brownie is crowned with rich vanilla ice cream, drizzled with our classic warm chocolate sauce and finished with chocolate shavings and whipped cream). Because Chocolate Thunder From Down Under contains dairy ingredients in the brownie itself, not just in the ice cream & whipped cream, we could not order this delicious treat for her.  Something good came from this though!  Outback Steakhouse Manager Jesse Duncan felt badly that my daughter could not have the dessert, which led to a conversation where he and I discussed how many folks on a gluten free diet must also avoid dairy products, and he decided to look into offering a gluten free/dairy free dessert option on their menu, in addition to the gluten free option!  The best part?  Jesse actually followed through on this!  He e-mailed me and said he had approval from the franchise owner to go forward with the idea at the Kirkland Washington location!  It looks like this will take place in the very near future.  I encourage you to request your local Outback Steakhouse Manager to look into providing a gluten free/dairy free dessert option on their gluten free menus as well!

I feel that Outback Steakhouse's Gluten Free Menu truly has something for everyone!  They are trained to offer you a safe, delicious gluten free dining experience, which I truly appreciate.  The staff listens to feedback from their gluten free customers, and go the extra mile to accommodate them.  I look forward to enjoying the gluten free offerings from the Outback Steakhouse again in the near future.  I hope you will visit them soon as well... I know you will love the gluten free menu at the Outback Steakhouse!

Restaurant Review: Anthony's Restaurants in the Pacific Northwest - Now Offering Gluten Free Menus!

As I have shared with you in the past, just about nothing makes me happier than finding new restaurants offering gluten free menus, where my daughter with Celiac Disease can enjoy safe and delicious meals. I was thrilled when Anthony's Restaurants recently contacted me to share their exciting gluten free news; here is what they shared with me:

"Currently 150,000 Americans are struggling with Celiac disease— rendering them unable to eat restaurant items containing gluten; the protein found in wheat, barley and rye (as well as often-debated oats). Compounding that, as many as 1 million Americans are gluten intolerant. This rapidly growing disease has prompted a gluten-free menu revolution across the nation. Anthony’s has made an effort to be at the forefront of these changes, implementing new, gluten-free menus in addition to its current menus across all 19 of its restaurant locations."

Anthony's Restaurants are eager to share the wonderful news about their new gluten free menus with as many people as possible, and asked if my family and I would be their guests so I could share my feedback with all of you. I have much to share about my family's gluten free dining experience at Anthony's, but first, here is some background on Anthony's Restaurants:

About Anthony’s Restaurants:

"Anthony’s Restaurants, with more than 2,000 team members, owns and operates a family of 19 privately held restaurants throughout the Pacific Northwest. From classic 'to-go' eateries to casual dining and relaxed dinner houses, Anthony’s core commitment to fresh Northwest seafood, complemented by local produce, Northwest wines and microbrews, is the foundation for each restaurant.

To ensure Anthony’s commitment to purchasing only the highest quality fresh seafood, Anthony’s opened its own seafood company in 1985, located at Pier 91, Seattle. Anthony’s is proud of its continuing commitment to quality and value, which has made it the place for fresh Northwest seafood throughout the Pacific Northwest."

My Personal Anthony's Gluten Free Experience:

Last weekend my family had the pleasure of sampling the new gluten free menu at Anthony's HomePort in Kirkland Washington; it is located on the Eastern shores of Lake Washington and boasts stunning views of Hunts Point, Sand Point, and the Seattle skyline. We were seated at a table with a waterfront view that was absolutely breath taking! It was so relaxing watching the setting sun glisten on Lake Washington as we dined... what a delight!

Because all of Anthony's seafood is fresh, new gluten free menus are printed each day to reflect that day's offerings. My husband and I were impressed with the lovely selection of starters, entrees, and desserts available on Anthony's new gluten free menu; it is obvious that they took their time in deciding what types of dishes would appeal to a wide variety of gluten free diners.

We choose to start with the Dungeness Crab Cocktail; which was fresh and sweet, just as crab should be. My daughters devoured the Crab Cocktail... and my husband and I felt lucky to each get a few bites! I don't think my 7 year old had ever tasted crab prior to that moment; she has now added it to her favorite foods list which makes me very happy.

Anthony's is well known for its ultra-fresh local Oysters. After mentioning that I had never been brave enough to try an Oyster on the Half Shell our friendly server Kyle Ross offered to bring me a Pacific Penn Cove Select Oyster on the Half Shell, caught fresh that very day in Samish Bay Washington. Dining Room Manager Jennifer Johnson suggested that I follow my Oyster on the Half Shell with a swallow of Champagne. Feeling a burst of bravery, I "slurped" the Oyster from its shell and chased it with a swallow of champagne as Jennifer recommended. Although I still can't say that I am an oyster fan, I could definitely tell that my Oyster was super fresh. I am certain that Oyster lovers will appreciate Anthony's impressive selection of fresh, local, Oysters on the Half Shell.

The Gluten Free Entrees My Family Sampled at Anthony's HomePort in Kirkland Washington:

All of the gluten free dishes my family tried at Anthony's were extremely delicious and of the highest quality.

I was treated to buttery, melt in your mouth Lobster Tail. I have had lobster many times in my life, but I never remember it tasting this good! It was perfectly cooked and absolutely divine.

My son ordered the Roasted Garlic Prawns, which were butterflied and roasted with garlic butter, fresh lemon, and sprinkled with gremolata. I have never seen this boy eat so fast in my life... by the time I took the first bite of my entree, my son had already eaten half of his Roasted Garlic Prawns! He said that his prawns "rocked." I snuck a little bite of his prawns, and he was right, they did rock!

My tween-age daughter had the Fresh Wild Chinook Salmon, which was oven roasted and finished with Sundried Tomato Basil Butter. Yes... it was as fabulous as it sounds! My daughter loved it, and after trying a bite my husband and I both agreed that it was the freshest salmon that either of us have ever tasted, hands down.

My youngest daughter with Celiac Disease feasted on the Double R Ranch Signature Top Sirloin Steak which was hand-cut and pan seared until it was perfectly medium rare, just as she ordered it. After trying her first bite, she proclaimed that Anthony's was now her favorite restaurant, and asked if we could eat there again soon. Of course we said yes, because both the gluten free food and the service at Anthony's was top-notch.

All of our entrees were served with savory mashed potatoes and fresh steamed vegetables, as well as our choice of a chilled Oregon Bay shrimp cocktail or a delightful spinach salad with bacon, mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese tossed in a fantastic dill vinaigrette. Some of us ordered the spinach salad, and others shrimp cocktail, so we could share with one another. As with the gluten free entrees, the accompanying gluten free dishes were delicious and fresh.

After our meal we enjoyed a choice of either a fresh seasonal strawberry-rhubarb sorbet, or Anthony's Burnt Cream (aka Creme Brulee). These desserts were not too heavy, were expertly prepared, and acted as the perfect ending to the perfect meal.

About Anthony's Gluten Free Safe Practices:

"In preparation for implementation of Anthony’s Restaurants Gluten Free menus, a team meeting was held at each restaurant to go over the following information and procedures. The restaurant managers and regional chefs trained the front of the house and the kitchen teams.

Anthony’s Gluten Free menus items were specially selected with Nutritionist, Beverly Utt of Simply Nutrition, and are created using gluten free ingredients. Ingredients were confirmed gluten free through our purveyors and manufacturers and to the best of our knowledge are deemed gluten free.

Anthony’s kitchen teams have been trained to treat a gluten meal as any other severe allergy. They have been trained to change gloves, use new pans and bowls and use extreme caution when handling a gluten free meal. With the availability of gluten free menus we are able to assist the changing needs of our guests."

The Bottom Line:

The gluten free community can feel confident that when dining at any of Anthony's Restaurants 19 Pacific Northwest locations they will enjoy fresh, delicious, food that is gluten free and Celiac-safe.

Gluten Free Taste of Home commends Anthony's Restaurants for making the needs of the gluten free community a priority, and for doing it so deliciously.

Special thanks to Anthony's HomePort in Kirkland Washington, in particular Dining Room Manager Jennifer Johnson and our server Kyle Ross, for providing my family with a lovely and memorable gluten free dining experience.

Restaurant Review and $50.00 Gift Card Giveaway: P.F. Changs China Bistro - Newly Expanded Gluten Free Menu!

P.F. CHANG'S CHINA BISTRO LAUNCHES EXPANDED GLUTEN FREE MENU!

Enhanced Offerings Includes 5 New Beef Entreés and a Total of 28 GLUTEN FREE Dishes!

I am so happy to share this exciting news with you; one of my very favorite restaurants, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, has recently announced their newly expanded Gluten Free Menu! P.F. Chang's new gluten free menu features beef entrees for the very first time.

Now, anyone following a gluten free diet can savor a broad range of menu options, such as P.F. Chang’s signature Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Mongolian Beef, and even a Flourless Chocolate Dome for dessert!

P.F. Chang's says:

“More and more of our guests are asking for gluten free options and we’re proud to offer them a greater variety of P.F. Chang’s classics,” said Gregg Piazzi, Director of Culinary Training for P.F. Chang’s China Bistro. “P.F. Chang’s is sensitive to all of the food allergies and dining requirements of our guests and we strive to serve customized cuisine that meets each diner’s individual needs.”

"P.F. Chang’s upholds a rigorous gluten free cooking process to ensure the dietary safety of guests with celiac disease. The restaurant’s staff takes all the necessary measures of precaution during the preparation and serving of gluten free dishes."

My personal P.F. Changs gluten free experience:

My family recently had the honor of being treated to a gluten free tasting at P.F. Chang's Alderwood Mall location in Lynnwood Washington. Our experience was both delicious and educational!

Our journey began with a friendly greeting from P.F. Chang's Operating Partner, Apryl Haney, who took the time to answer our questions about the dishes on the gluten free menu. I was especially impressed with how seriously Apryl took my daughter's dietary restrictions. Because my daughter is not only gluten free, but also dairy free, I needed to know which items off of their gluten free menu did not contain dairy. To ensure she provided us with accurate information, April entered my daughter's dietary restrictions into her computer and presented us with a list of every item P.F. Chang's had to offer that was both gluten and dairy free! I think it is so fabulous that P.F. Chang's does not try to "guess" if their guests can eat their menu items safely, they ensure it!

Before dinner, Apryl offered to give me a tour of the kitchen, so I could see just how seriously P.F. Chang's takes safe gluten free food preparation. Whenever a guest orders from the gluten free menu, the ticket is boldly marked as gluten free. Prior to preparing the meals on the gluten free tickets, kitchen staff automatically change into a new pair of gloves to avoid cross contamination. There is a separate area in P.F Chang's kitchen reserved only for cooking gluten free meals in specially designated gluten free woks. There is also a separate pot for boiling gluten free rice noodles. A complete set of kitchen utensils are also set aside solely for gluten free use.

When prepping the gluten free meals, the ingredients are placed on bright red plates that alert the cooks that these foods are to be prepared in the gluten free cookware, using specially prepared gluten free sauces which are stored in covered containers in the gluten free cooking area. These people have a gluten free system that works!

My P.F. Chang's kitchen tour was very reassuring (and fun!). There was not a doubt in my mind after watching the gluten free practices in P.F. Chang's kitchen that our meals would be not only delicious, but safe to eat. I was even more impressed when Justin Land, P.F Chang's Culinary Partner, came to our table to talk about how seriously P.F. Chang's takes their responsibility of cooking for the gluten free community. He explained that all kitchen staff and servers are thoroughly trained to understand the high safety standards that P.F Chang's requires when serving gluten free and other dietary restricted diners.

About the food...

YUM! Just thinking about it right now is making me hungry! We ordered five gluten free dishes (two were also dairy free) for my family to share. My young daughter with Celaic who is also dairy free is a very picky eater, and gave her dinner of GF Philip's Better Lemon Chicken "5 stars." We also enjoyed one of the new beef dishes, GF Mongolian Beef; this Asian classic lived up to it's savory reputation, with tender slices of beef in a slightly spicy sauce, and a generous amount of fresh green onions... absolutely delicious! Possibly the favorite of the entire family collectively were the phenomenally good GF Singapore Street Noodles; perfectly cooked rice noodles with a lime infused sauce are tossed together with crisp-tender veggies, chicken, and shrimp... this dish was out of this world! We also feasted on GF Chang's Lemon Scallops, which were cooked to perfection and practically melted in your mouth; this dish was one of my very favorites. The GF Shrimp with Lobster Sauce was devoured instantly by all of us, with it's mild sauce proving especially pleasing to the children. My family is looking forward to trying more of P.F. Chang's gluten free menu items.

I love the famous P.F. Chang's "Special Sauce," which is mixed table side by your waiter. This sauce is so balanced in it's flavors that it tastes wonderful on any of the dishes you order. I especially love it on the rice. P.F. Chang's "Special Sauce"consists of the following gluten free ingredients: Tamari soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sweet chili sauce, pot sticker sauce, and hot mustard. It was a beautiful thing to watch the waiter remove the gluten filled soy sauce and pot sticker sauce from the mixing area, and replace them with gluten free versions prior to mixing our sauce; we did not have to ask him to do this... it is done automatically for P.F. Chang's gluten free diners.

To cap off our spectacular gluten free meal, we were offered a fabulous sounding gluten free Flourless Chocolate Dome for dessert; it wasn't dairy free, so we opted to pass in respect of my daughter's dairy intolerance. However, noting my children's disappointment, Apryl (the manager) promptly offered my children bowls of fresh berries, which they eagerly accepted and enjoyed. Honestly, I think my girls would rather eat fresh berries than cake any way! If you order the gluten free Flourless Chocolate Dome when you visit P.F. Chang's, please leave a comment on this post and let me know how it was!

P.F. Chang's has won my families patronage indefinitely... we cannot wait to go back! If you are on a gluten free diet and there is a P.F. Chang's near you, do yourself a favor and order from their newly enhanced gluten free menu; it could quite possibly be the tastiest decision you have ever made!
