Capital Region gluten-free restaurant listing

gluten-free restaurant options map screengrab

A tasty map.

By Liz Clancy Lerner

There are two major hurdles to jump when you're gluten-free and dining out: finding a restaurant that understands cross contact and gluten, and finding a chef that will prepare you more than a "safe" meal consisting of salad with a piece of grilled chicken on top.

Fortunately we've got some options in the Capital Region.

Thanks to Jennifer's question and a bunch of great suggestions from the AOA crowd, we were able to compile a listing/map that highlights many of the restaurants in the area that offer gluten-free options.

The next step I'm hoping for in New York? A law like Massachusetts' new one that requires all restaurant managers to go through food allergy certification.

A quick note: The list includes mostly non-chain restaurants. P.F. Chang's, Outback, Chipotle and Chili's are national chain restaurants, with local operations, that also offer gluten-free options.
