Get Ready to Jet

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Perhaps it is all the trees in bloom or the warmer weather but I find spring to be highly inspirational.  In the coming months there are going to be quite a few fantastic and fabulous surprises here at Gluten Free Mike. 

There are tons of new locales on-deck for both my regular and QNYGF series as well as delicious gluten-free recipes and quite possibly the coolest giveaway I have ever had to-date – and trust me, you will not want to miss this one (not to mention it will be open to all my friends in CANADA who always seem to get left out). 

The spring and summer has GFM travelling as usual and I hope you will come along as I gluten-free globetrot bring you to some unexpected gluten-free places.  So please join me as I continue my journey to gluten-free fabulousness – I am so glad to have you along for the ride.

Just A Little Update

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Time for another quick update of what GFM has been up to.  In case you missed it, you will not want to miss the fifth episode in my Quintessentially Gluten Free New York (QGFNY) series.  This episode finds me dining high above Manhattan at the Mandarin Oriental’s Asiate restaurant.  While you are checking this out, don’t miss the previous episodes featuring some of the most unique dining experiences in the City. 

Oh, and if you are looking for gluten -free or -friendly restaurants you can find them in the Dining section as well.

GFM will be hitting the road again this week with my travels taking me south to the North Carolina coast.  I am looking to sample some of my reader’s favorite places to dine while I am down there gluten-free or otherwise.  So, if you are familiar with the coast from Wilmington to New Bern and know of a place I should check out, please contact me and let me know.  I am really looking for places you frequent that can at least adapt to dietary restrictions…and remember if it is seafood exclusive it is a no-go for me.  See, you knew there had to be at least one condition.

Finally, if you haven’t checked out my Resources and Links section lately, please do.  I have added some new GF blogs that are definitely worth a read.  If you have a blog that is not listed, just use the blog submission form and I would be happy to add it.  All I ask for is a reciprocal link on your blog.  I am always amazed at the great quality and wide-range of topics and interests that my fellow Celiacs cover in their blogs.  I always learn something new and what better resources than ourselves to help guide us as we continue our journey to gluten-free fabulousness.

So there you have it in a nutshell.  Be sure to check out my real-time Tweets and Facebook updates as I make my way down the Eastern seaboard as I am certain it will be a interesting journey – particularly given the amount of snow that is supposed to transpire over the next two days.  It should be a very interesting journey indeed.

Whats Happening!

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
I just wanted to take a quick moment to let you know of some exciting new items that are on their way. 

First, on Monday there is going to be a great blog item that chronicles gluten free party planning on a grand scale — so you will not want to miss that.  I am also in the process of selecting the next locale in my QNYGF series.  Where, oh where, will GFM be dining GF next in N.Y.C.?  I have a backlog of recipes that are ready to hit the site so be sure to look for announcements.  In November, GFM is hitting the road and going global.  I hope you will all come along for the ride.  Finally, I have been sampling some fantastic new gluten-free items and am looking forward to sharing them will all of you.

So keep looking for updates as we travel the the road to gluten free fabulousness together.

An Eventful Weekend

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

GFM had a truly terrific day yesterday.  The second locale for my QNYGF series was revealed but in case you missed it, GFM dined at Sylvia’s, a Harlem landmark since 1962.  You’ll be able to read all about how I faired on the gluten free front in a couple of days, as I am putting the final touches on the review.

Just because I have Celiac is not going to limit me experiencing fantastic new places and more importantly food.  Many of you know that I am not only Celiac but am hyper-allergic to all shellfish which always puts cross-contamination front of mind for me.  As you will see from my upcoming review of Sylvia’s living a full gluten free life just takes a bit of extra legwork – researching your locales before visiting, coming up with a game plan, and asking the right questions.  Doing a bit of leg work goes a very long way in allowing you to get out there and, as GFM likes to say, Live Well Gluten Free, No Apologies.

GFM Taking GF Living to the Next Level

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Not too long ago, I hinted that some exciting changes were coming to the site and decided that this week would be a good time to announce a new section that will soon be debuting in the Dining Out section.  Now, I have always been a fan of seeking out gluten free or at least friendly restaurants but let’s face it, it is not always practical.  Particularly when you are trying to live a fabulous lifestyle.

Now I will still continue to review gluten free or friendly restaurants but the new section, which will affectionately be known as Quintessentially New York Gluten Free or QNYGF will widen the landscape.  I love food and I love New York so I will be dining at some of the most iconic and legendary restaurants here in the city.  I have developed set criteria that will be evaluated to help quantify my dining experience as a Celiac and will be dining with a non-Celiac at each occasion.  My hope is to give readers, not only a view into some of the greatest restaurants around but the added perspective of a Celiac living in a gluten filled world.  More importantly my hope is to help educate to show my fellow Celiacs that we can co-exist and, in fact, live quite fabulously in a non-celiac world.

Oh, and yes, the Quintessentially program will of course be expanded as my travels take me around the globe — but as Dorothy said best, There is no place like home — and what better place than my hometown to kick it all off.

So I hope you will come along on what promises to be a delicious journey and stay tuned as the premiere restaurant will be one of my true favorites and is a real New York institution.
