These are a few of recommendations:
- Keep a couple GF protein bars in your purse just in case.
- Take your time to investigate options. Come up with a few Gluten Free Restaurant options.
- If this is your first time to a Gluten Free Restaurant in Traverse City , stay with foods that are most likely GF – meats, salads, fruits that sort of thing. This is not likely a good time to experiment with GF pasta or cake – if you’ve never been to the place before!
- Lastly, eat out at off-peak times of day. Plan dinner early or try for a late lunch. Show up at a time you will easily have the complete attention of the wait person and the chefs aren’t too busy.
