Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi Everyone, I am heading to Reno this weekend. Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations and/or stores to buy GF food? Also- anyone happen to know what the weather is like there? (Rumor has it that it SNOWED, and here I was nervous about the heat!) Thanks so much, Caryn Gottfried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 We've had a couple great meals at the Peppermill Casino buffet - the one with the waterfall. We go at off peak hours, like around 4:30 pm for dinner, and explain that we have " serious food allergies " to the hostess, and ask for the chef. We've dealt with the same chef at least twice, and he understands gluten very well. He walks the buffet line with me, and makes suggestions. If there is anything we want that is GF but looks contaminated - fly-over crumbs, spoon from another item - he has the servers behind the counter get a fresh portion from the back for us. The dessert selection is limited, but hey, we ate so much from the hot food line that we didn't really need the dessert anyway. ;-) Once we even had a waitress who just been diagnosed as gluten intolerant, and she asked us a million questions about the diet. Made for an interesting meal.
