Today I am launching the first of a series of pages that will empower America’s gluten free community to find restaurants that provide wonderful meals, excellent service, and food that is ‘safe’ for us. Today I am introducing two of those pages:

The first is a list of chain restaurants whose websites promise gluten free options. I started with chain restaurants because they are available virtually anywhere. They are operated by large corporations that employ dozens (probably hundreds) of attorneys and quality control experts who are responsible for making sure that individual restaurants do not make promises that they can’t keep. Restaurant chains have excellent websites that include gluten free specifics as well as directions to their individual restaurants.

The second page is a list of the fifty states (as well as the District of Columbia) with the names of the restaurant chains serving that state. This list should be especially useful to persons who are traveling in unfamiliar territory. There are several links that will enable users to bounce back and forth between the two pages.

I will test these pages for the next two weeks and then add information about how to study a website to determine exactly what is said, and perhaps most importantly, what details are ignored.
