This was the first spot I've traveled to where I couldn't find anything...anything...with all of my pre-trip research. So I had to go in pretty blind. Luckily, the trip was only for 2 nights and the hotel had a refrigerator and a microwave so I could bring my own food. I did make a stop at Wheatless in Seattle the night before and picked up a piece of apricot almond coffee cake.

This trip really did not start off so well.
My first night in Boston, I went to Legal Seafood at Long Wharf because I had heard they were very allergy friendly and even had a gluten free menu. I think I even read somewhere that they had gluten free rolls! So anyway, I explained my food allergies to my server and ordered off the gluten free menu. I got the cioppino and I got sick. Really sick, worst reaction I've had so far. I actually stayed in my hotel the entire next day and missed the first day of my conference because I felt so awful. Anyway, I called the restaurant to report that I got sick and they took down my information and had a manager call me back. She called me back, took down the information about how I ordered and then asked me what my symptoms were...
It was only a weekend trip and I didn't have much time to do research on places to go but here is where we went...
2201 Wilshire Blvd.
Santa Monica, CA 90403
(310) 315-0662
We went to the small one on wilshire and they had a pretty good selection. There were some bars and snacks I hadn't seen before. And they also had my most favorite sheeps milk yogurt which I enjoyed each morning with my udi's granola.
Right now, I'm in Moscow, Idaho.
So far I've eaten at Qdoba Mexican Grill, Applebee's, and Smokey Mountain Pizza. Qdoba is not as good as Chipotle and I think I may have gotten a bit of cross contamination from something at Applebees, so thats not so great. I think it may just be dairy though, not as bad as gluten for me.
