Re: Anyone know GF friendly restaurants in Bay Area?[flatcat]

[Guest guest]

I live in Parkmerced, which is right next to SF State and Stonestown, off 19th

Ave, right where 280 ends.

I worry about the Chinese Restaurant I used to eat at, because they serve a lot

of foods that are breaded, like sweet n sour pork, etc. I am fearful of

cross-contamination.

cross-contamination, but not a lot, I think.

about eating in these restaurants, not trusting the rice noodles, but someone on

another list who is extremely sensitive says he eats in them often and never has

a problem.
