How Do You Lose Those Monday Blues?

With this little piece of heaven right here, that's how.  3 Fellers GF Coconut Cream Pie:  found it in the refrigerated aisle of Earth Fare yesterday, ate it THE MINUTE I got home from work today.  What?  It was one of those days.  I'll have some kale for dinner.  Don't judge me!

Go Here Now: Gluten Free Charleston reviews Burton's Grill

Update: I just received an email from one of the owners of Burton's Grill.  He said one of the other partners is gluten intolerant, so from the very beginning Burton's has had a GF menu and that they "take GF seriously."  I LOVE that about them.

THIS is why I started this blog, y'all.  When I heard that Burton's Grill had opened a location in the Towne Centre mall in Mt Pleasant,  I just knew I had to spread the word.  Everyone living gluten-free in the Charleston area needs to know about this restaurant and go there.  Now!  Any business that goes to such lengths to serve the GF community deserves our support, and the quality of their food definitely deserves our attention.

Gluten Free-ish Pizza from Domino's

Say cheese.

OK, so Domino's makes it ABUNDANTLY clear that while they are pleased to offer a gluten free pizza crust, they cannot and WILL NOT call anything made with it a gluten free pizza because hello, it's Domino's and there's wheat flour flying all over the damn place and there's bound to be all sorts of cross-contamination so if you're really sensitive to gluten or have been diagnosed with celiac disease you probably shouldn't risk it.

But sometimes it's just too tempting to turn down hot, cheesy pizza delivered RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR. In thirty minutes or less!  Sometimes you're just totally exhausted and starving after a long day at work and think to yourself, fuck it, it's gluten free enough.

I didn't want to do this but

...you left me no choice.  I've been waiting and waiting for someone to start a Gluten Free Charleston blog, but no one has.  I guess it may as well be me.  I've been gluten free forever.  I've lived in Charleston for 15 years.  And I have OPINIONS, y'all!

Approximately 3 billion* people travel to Charleston each year for the Spoleto Festival alone, not to mention all THE BEACHES and THE HISTORY here, and I know at least half a billion* of those people are gluten free. Not to mention all the gluten free people who live here, like YEAR ROUND.  They all need a place to go to find out where and how and what to eat gluten free in Charleston.  For lack of a better blog, I guess this is it.  I'll do my best.

*Be warned that I am given to hyperbole and I like to swear.  So if you're going to take offense with me slightly exaggerating statistics or declaring something to be the best fucking gluten free thing EVER in the history of gluten free things, well, I apologize in advance.
