ANOTHER restaurant with gluten-free food!

[Guest guest]

It's becoming an epidemic - a GOOD epidemic!

I emailed Maverick BBQ in Hollister, CA to see if they had a gluten-free menu,

and the below email is the response I received back from the owner/chef who has

a gluten intolerance himself (if we can't trust him, who can we trust?). He is

well aware of cross-contact issues, etc., as you can see from his email. I

looked at Maverick BBQ's website again and saw that he does, indeed, have a

gluten-free menu on his website. How the heck did I miss THAT?? His restaurant

can be found on Gluten Free Registry and he serves Redbridge beer. See his

email below:

Hi,

Yes we have a gluten-free menu and we also serve Redbridge gluten-free beer. I

believe the gluten-free menu is on our website, if not all our BBQ items are

gluten-free, all salads (except grilled chicken, and only the vinegar and oil or

blue cheese dressings--made here from scratch) The bbq sauce is homemade and

gluten-free, steaks, our cedar plank salmon with mustard dill sauce (also made

here) All our regular sides - potato salad, coleslaw, ranch beans are gluten

free(all homemade). I am the owner and head chef, and I also have a gluten

allergy, so it is very important to me to make sure there is no cross

contamination of foods. PLEASE tell your server you need to see the gluten-free

menu and to alert me in the kitchen. I use separate cutting boards, utensils,

etc. to ensure there is no gluten contamination of your food. Look forward to

seeing you. Our website is www.maverickbbq.com.

thanks,

Eben

Here is Maverick BBQ's contact information. I realize most of us probably do

not live " down that way, " but in case you are either traveling through or

visiting someone in the area, it's great to know that you have somewhere you can

enjoy something to eat!
