Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 A new Draeger's just opened in Danville, *within walking distance of my house*! I am so psyched about this. Get the Draeger's brand GF Enchiladas and Shepherd's Pie over near the deli section. The GF aisle was well stocked, and Redbrige was present. They had something I had never tried before - teff flour tortillas from La Tortilla Factory - not bad. They have a printed GF foods list too. I just realized that they even have the words " gluten-free foods " printed on their shopping bags. An actual commitment from a grocery store! Very nice. Highly recommend for anyone in or near the Danville area. Bonus points for the butcher that gave me his excellent carne asada burrito recipe over the counter and then proceeded to dice the steak up for me, and double bonus points for placing a wine bar in the center of the store just in case we need a break in the middle of a tough afternoon buying groceries. -- Joe http://sanbeiji.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 The one in San Mateo certainly is - is it true that the son of the founders' of Draegers is celiac? I've heard this many times but have never checked. From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of J. StiavettiSent: Monday, October 22, 2007 11:53 AM Subject: Re: [ ] Draeger's in Danville Thank you!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 The Draeger family is very committed to gluten-free foods. Three of the grandchildren of Draeger's founder (the kids of one of the Draeger " children " who are running the store now) are either celiacs or diabetics, or both celiac and diabetic. All the stores have GF sections. Some are marked better than others (San Mateo is the best on this side of the bay) but all the buyers are receptive to suggestions. I don't go to Whole Foods as often anymore.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Gosh that's interesting, I've partially gone the other way. I was committed only to draegers but the Wholefoods just off Hillsdale has so many more items - and the bread is so good, that I now go to that quite often - I still love Draegers though. -----Original Message----- From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Debbie Duncan Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 9:14 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Draeger's in Danville The Draeger family is very committed to gluten-free foods.
