Order things without the bun. Most restaurants leave their meat as meat – and advertise it. Soy and Wheat usually listed for the meal is for the WHOLE meal - bun and all.
Order salads with grilled meat, without croutons, and read the labels on the dressings and sauces. Most of the time, the only gluten in salads will be the croutons. McD's fruit and yogurt salad is fine...until you put the candied walnuts in it.
Ask to see ingredient labels-usually associates will show you…Sometime’s you’ll be surprised (BK Cupcake Shake is gluten-free!).
Swap out fries at grilles. Ruby Tuesday® and AppleBee’s ® both will swap fries with fresh veggies, and I always feel much better…not only am I not getting the MSG, but I’m also not risking the fries being cooked in the same oil as breaded chicken…and maybe getting some good nutrients? Another good option instead of veggies is to do a baked potato. Usually if you ask, you can substitute.
Somebody is already doing the work for me, so check out Gluten Free Restaurants and find out what they’re finding out. The site lists several national chains (Burger King, Wendy’s, and McDonalds to name a few).
One chain that I did not see on the Gluten Free Restaurants website that offers a gluten-free menu is Johnny Carino's. I know they are located in the great plains region, but not elsewhere.
