A big thank you to Red Robin for so graciously accommodating our group. While they have probably had groups of 27 or more before, it was a first for them to host so many ordering gluten free. They ran out of the color-coded baskets and the manager said she would order more.
One lesson learned is that no matter where we go and whether there is an official gluten free menu or not, we cannot assume anything. If the gluten free menu states a salad should not have croutons, we must remind the server to make a note for the chef.
The gluten free buns (from French Meadow Bakery) were a big hit, although be prepared for the surcharge. Most places offering gluten free bread do the same thing (like Jason’s Deli) because it costs the restaurant more to order the GF version.
The evening seemed to be a hit—we will have to plan more socials in 2012!
