One of the BEST places to grab amazing gluten free food in Los Angeles is The Butcher's Daughter located in Venice Beach on Abbot Kinney. With amazing rustic and beachy decor, this west-side hot-spot has an absolutely incredible menu full of gluten free and vegan dishes that are to die for. The worst part about this restaurant? Trying to decide whether to eat there for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The restaurant is not exclusively gluten free, but a majority of their menu is, and the staff is very well educated on cross contamination. Some of the gluten free highlights of their menu include: the fried green tomatoes, avocado toast, kale chips, and their gluten free bread and cheese board. They also make the gluten free cheese board with a vegan option that is outstanding (who knew cashew cheese could taste so damn good?!). There are also The Butcher's Daughter locations in New York (three locations) and a Los Angeles food truck.

If you haven't tried this place out yet then drop everything you are doing and immediately go eat there — You won't be sorry!

Welcome to dessert heaven — Bo Nuage is my new favorite gluten free discovery in Los Angeles. Not only is the store aesthetically gorgeous, but they are home of the Could Cake.

BO NUAGE: (adj. / n. ) from French beautiful cloud Bo Nuage is an elegant, Parisian-styled boutique bringing you the unique experience that is the luxurious Nuage Cake. Named for their fluffy texture, these treats combine the crispness of a fresh Meringue with the light sweetness of whipped cream in a variety of handcrafted and delicious flavors. Dedicated to quality and our customer’s satisfaction, we offer gluten free and nondairy options.

ALL of their cloud cakes are totally gluten free and come in amazing flavors. They are the perfect, light and fluffy mix of sweet and not at all overpowering with sugar. Plus they are beautifully hand crafted and come in these gorgeous little boxes (making them the perfect dinner-party dessert).

Bo Nuage has two locations, one in West Los Angeles and one in Beverly Hills.

Definitely try these out, you wont be sorry!

Popular salad chain sweetgreen recently opened a new location in West Los Angeles and I have made it there about four times now when I have been seeking out a quick,easy and healthy dinner option. Since the chain has so many locations across the country now, I thought it would be a good time to give them a review!

I'll start with what is good about sweetgreen — First off, they clearly mark which salads are gluten free on their menu. You also have the chance to build your own salad, and it is pretty clear which ingredients contain gluten and which do not. They offer some interesting flavor combinations, my favorite being the 'Guacamole Greens' (pictured above), to which I add goat cheese and corn. They definitely offer quality salads on-the-go, and make for a great place to stop if you are in a hurry and want something healthy.

I should tell you all that sweetgreen is NOT a gluten free restaurant. However, salads are made right in front of you, and their salad bar is very clean, and glutenous ingredients are separated. I just watch whoever is making my salad very closely to ensure there aren't any mistakes being made. Eating here is definitely at your own risk though.

Now, the not so good part about sweetgreen. While they have a great concept, and the staff are very friendly, they are not even close to consistent. Two out of my four visits have resulted in a noticeably lighter salad that was very weak on ingredients. If I'm going to pay $13 for a salad, my feeling is it better at least constitute a meal. They have also been inconsistent in their prices. Sometimes my salad is wrung up at $13 and change, other times it is $11 and change. I care less about the price inconsistency than the quality of the meal though .. it's a bit ridiculous to order something from a chain restaurant, and wonder if you are going to get what you actually order.

Regardless, they do offer tasty salads and good gluten free options so I would recommend checking them out if you haven't yet.

I love going to MLB games ... There is something so fun about being in the stadium, watching the game in the sunshine and eating a hot dog. Until relatively recently, my baseball game experiences had been fun, but not perfect. I usually can't eat much of anything — no hot dogs, no beer, no nothing. But in recent years, stadiums and ball parks across America have been serving up some gluten free food options. In fact, there are a large number of stadiums and ball parks that now offer gluten free food. You can check out this list here.

I was at Dodger Stadium a few weeks ago, and I was really surprised at how good the gluten free food offerings were. Considering I had zero expectations for a gluten free experience, there was quite a bit to choose from. For starters, they have the classic Dodger Dogs on gluten free buns at all the Kaiser Permanente Healthy Plate Carts. In section 155 you can also find veggies dogs offered on gluten free buns. 

The Kaiser Permanente Healthy Plate Carts also sell gluten free beer, and other gluten free snacks such as chips. Think Blue BBQ on the Pavilion Level offers stocks of corn fully loaded with cheese, chili mayo, cilantro, etc. LA Taqueria is located on the Reserve level, and they offer a selection of tacos that are gluten free. Finally, ALL of the nachos sold at Dodger Stadium are gluten free!

There are tons of great options for those with celiac disease at Dodger Stadium (and at ballparks across America), so I highly suggest going out the ballgame!

Formally known as Babycakes NYC bakery, Erin McKenna's Bakery opened a new location in Los Angeles this past February. This gluten free gem is in the Hollywood / Larchmont neighborhood of Los Angeles, and is not to be missed by any Celiac / gluten free foodie / vegan. Every single item in this bakery is 100% gluten free, vegan, refined-sugar-free and non GMO — and there are a LOT of awesome things to try.

I taste tested the Brownie Cupcake with vanilla mint frosting, and the vanilla frosted donut, and both were insanely delicious. While the baked goods are the main draw of the shop, they also sell at-home baking mixes, the Babycakes NYC cookbook, and some savory items like crackers and bread. The bakery also ships nationally, so you can always order as much as you want online. I highly recommend making Erin McKenna's Bakery a stop for any Celiac in Los Angeles!
