This 3rd edition of The Essential Gluten-free Restaurant Guide is bigger and better than ever! With thousands of safe gf restaurant listings around the country, this guide is a must have for anyone living gluten-free. So often, those on "special" diets are forced to eat at home, where they know exactly how the food has been prepared. Though safe, eating at home, day in, day out is extremely limiting socially, and perhaps most importantly, leaves one out of one of life's greatest pleasures: Trying new foods! Ethnic foods, good ol' American Southern cuisine, Steak Houses, you name it, it's in here! In addition to the extensive, thoroughly researched list of restaurants, I was particularly impressed by the "User's Guide", and the Checklist (a summary checklist detailing what one should do before you leave the house for a restaurant, and what to do once you get there). I was also thrilled to find Section III, an extensive chapter with Gluten-free lists and Menus. Bravo Triumph Dining!

Although there are zero gluten-free restaurants in the New Haven area, which is where I live, it's no problem. I just use the Triumph Dining cards to eat out anywhere I like. But when I visit family, I take this book with me. I especially LOVE pizza, and when I'm on the IL North Shore, my cousins and I like to order Lou Malnatti's pizza, which I never knew had a crustless gluten-free option until I read this book. I also like how this book doesn't just list restaurants. It tells you exactly how the place has gluten-free options and even gives menus in the back. Sometimes it's funny: you can have anything you want at Dunkin' Donuts... as long as it's a drink.

My only suggestion: give me some tips for chowing down gf in Wrigley Field!

I bought this book because my girlfriend has Celiac and we were about to go on our first vacation together. It came just four days after I ordered it in plenty of time for our trip. This book was a real lifesaver allowing us to find safe places to eat not only at our destination but all along the way too! The descriptions for each restaurant are so clear and let you know exactly what to expect. I would recommend this book to anyone planning to go on a road trip or even looking for new places around you!

This book is very helpful listing restaurants and even has certain menu items by restaurant. If you are in a small town, like I am, it doesn't stretch far, but I will bring it with me on any trips! The book is great.

What a wonderful book!!! I take it with me when I travel, and always have a resourse on where I can safely eat. There were many restaurants in my own neighborhood that served gluten free that I didn't even know about. I highly recommend it for any one who must follow a gluten free diet, or for anyone who knows someone who needs to eat gluten free. Plus the seller of this book delivered quickly.

After being diagnosed with Celiac disease only a year ago, I thought I would never be able to go to a restaurant again! There was too much of a hassle. I was given this book as a gift and eventually bought another one to give to another Celiac. This book has helped me become more aware of restaurants that are willing to cater to the dietary needs of Celiacs!
This is not a good book if you are trying to understand Celiac disease, but it will certainly help you navigate restaurants. You also will learn how to make sure what you order is gluten free.

My family and I travel quite a bit -- vacation, business, etc. We always take the restaurant guide with us. While we mostly like to cook for ourselves -- that is the safest route -- we also like to go out when home and traveling. The restaurant guide is very helpful and allows us to search by type of food (Italian, French, etc.) as well as by geography. Don't leave home without it!

Triumph Dining's Gluten Free Restaurant Guide is not just part of my everyday life, it travels with me! With this guide I know which restaurants are the "safest" places for gluten-free dining. It's easy to use and fairly comprehensive. For anyone with celiac disease or anyone determined to live gluten free I think it's a must-have!
