Traveling Gluten-Free in America: What You Need to Know
Tell Your Waiter
If you’re a well-adjusted individual, it might not be a big mark of courage to speak up to your waiter. If you’re petrified about being a bother and hate to seem complicated, this is less fun to do. However, it is important to inform the waiter of your dietary needs before you place your order.
Normally a restaurant that has gluten free options also has a fairly informed staff (though you will get a sense of that from the reviews you read in your browsing). So far, I’ve always had good experiences with my waitresses. Most are very friendly, and some even ask about my level of gluten sensitivity (so that their kitchen staff would know how to prepare the meal).
However, be forewarned–I’ve had quite of few of them talk me into some delicious gluten free desserts!
