There's Always Salad

Those nefarious waiters. You ask if the restaurant serves gluten free dishes and they tell you there is PLENTY to choose from. Immediately you begin visualizing plates of quiche, fried chicken, shrimp gumbo, and perhaps even a some gluten pastas to choose from. The restaurant's definition of the word "plenty" however differs from mine.

What do they offer time and again without fail? SALAD! That's right leafy greens, without the grilled meat, or salad dressing or croutons of course (because those contain gluten too). Croutons in my opinion are what make the salad worth eating in the first place. Despite this fact, may I again emphasize that the waiters like to offer you a salad without the salad dressing and without the meat! If I wanted to be a vegetarian I would hang out in my own back yard and eat the greens growing from my garden...not go and buy overpriced greens at a restaurant. The point of going to a restaurant is to order delicious food that you are not able to make at home or do not have the time to make at home. It is supposed to be a service where you pay for the convenience of not having to cook the food yourself.
Ahh for those good old days when all you had to complain about was the slow service.
For this reason, it is important to know where the good gluten-free restaurants are so that you can have a tasty meal without the hassle of searching for two hours for a place that offers something other than salad.
