“Where the buffalo ROAM!- Roam Artisan Burgers (Gluten-Free, San Francisco, Outside Trips)

The Monday of my trip to San Francisco was my East Bay day. I met some Miami friends who attend law school at Cal for lunch at Pieology in Berkeley, had early dinner plans in Oakland with another Miami friend who now is back home in the Bay, and then was going to do trivia night […]

Neighborhood vibe and the best dang cheese on a burger- Tap 79 (Upper Eastside, Craft Burgers + Beer)

So at one point not long ago I was looking at probably at least 40 blog posts I needed to do. I had trips to Atlanta, D.C. and and Baltimore, plus a lot of Miami posts that had backed up. Then I visited St. Augustine and Chicago… I was making my way through them (starting […]

A bacon X marks the spot for gluten-free buns in Midtown- Hurricane Grill & Wings (Restaurant)

This will be a pretty quick post about an unexpected find right “in front of my face.” A friend was leaving Miami to go to medical school in Chicago and we were trying to figure out one last lunch before he drove out the next day. I remember having one place I thought would be […]

Ground bacon, doughnut buns, guava jelly, and more make for some fascinating burgers!- LoKal (Coconut Grove, Restaurants)

A really good friend of mine was back home in Miami for a long weekend from New York and our group of friends had plans to hang out at several points throughout the weekend. One night we made dinner and beer/cider plans and decided to meet in the Grove, which is roughly halfway between his parents’ […]

An unfortunately slow lunch in a hip, “retro” diner- Naked Lunch (Restaurants, Health District)

Ever since last spring I had been wanting to check out Naked Lunch in the UM Life and Science Building near Jackson Hospital. I had never been to the chef Ralph Pagano’s Naked Taco on South Beach, but for some reason I really wanted to go to his new restaurant, Naked Lunch, for… well lunch. […]

Adding to the list of relaxing places to just sit and drink + house made sausages- The Mighty (Coral Way, Bars, Restaurant)

The other weekend I met up with some friends at the Mighty on Coral Way. One of them lives in the Gables and has passed it a few times and wondered about it. Coral Way has always been a place I want to explore more on the restaurant side. The row of trees in the […]

Food, vibe, and decor very on point, but brand new service has some kinks to work out- Wynwood Diner (American)

After getting way behind on blog posts in general and deciding to first complete posts about “recent” trips (Atlanta, Baltimore, St. Augustine, Chicago), I am now ready to tackle the 20 some Miami posts that have accumulated. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I generally plan to go chronologically from […]

The best gluten-free macaroni and cheese (not kidding)!- Wilde’s (Lake View, Chicago, Outside Trips)

On my recent Chicago trip, Thursday-Saturday afternoon was going to be family time in the suburbs and Saturday night through Monday night was going to be time with friends in the city. It turned out some family time overlapped with the city as my cousin had a comedy performance at the Annoyance Theater in Lake View. […]

Three of my five dinners in Atlanta and should have made it 5/5- Yeah! Burger (Gluten-Free Fried Chicken, Outside Trips)

To say this post has been on my mind for a while would be an understatement. I visited Atlanta in April and it is now the beginning of September… I’ll save the lame excuses (and I’ve mentioned them a few times in other recent overdue posts), but I can pretty confidently say that I still […]

Is it socially acceptable to just have multiple Pizookie’s for a meal?- BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse (Doral, Gluten-Free Pizza/Cookies)

Last year I was in Tallahassee for work and like most trips to other cities I did a search for gluten-free options. Tallahassee was where I first had the gluten-free awesomeness that is Jason’s Deli on an earlier trip. On this trip I was surprised to see that BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse had gluten-free pizza. […]
