Gluten-Free Watercooler-Pastis Restaurant

Even though Pastis is my favorite restaurant of all time, easy back-up spot, great location etc..., I always have to be super careful!  There are only a few select things I can have on this menu and this list is diminishing.

Upon going gluten-free I went to Pastis ...Years ago.  The waitress I had told me the french fries were gluten-free.  She said they were fried separately.  (I had mysteriously gotten sick after).
I later found out that was a myth.  

The following time I went there, I spoke with the manager.  They are not gluten-free.  They are not fried separately.  

Most recently I went with a friend of mine for brunch and I ordered what I always get, the bar steak.  Plain.  With scrambled eggs.  Easy.  My friend got the Chicken Paillard and the waiter mentioned to me that I could not share her dish, because the sauce from the chicken is dusted with flour.

Seriously!?  Grilled chicken Paillard uses flour?  Geez Louise, A. Thank you for telling me, so news to me, as I have had that too in the past (and mysteriously gotten sick), and B.  Seriously, that dish does not need flour.  Not that I wanted to share my friend's dish, but I think the waitstaff there really needs to be educated, I swear every time I go I learn that another dish from my "safe" list has gluten.

I did however have a lovely champagne cocktail with rose water.  Ah, it was delightful.  Soon that's all i'm going to be able to have from there!

Such a shame, I love that place.

Below are a few posts about Pastis just in case you wanted to know.

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain. A lot of my readers often describe how tough it is to drink black coffee without sweetener, so this one is for you guys!!   This recipe is a total Brain Trick.  It tastes ...

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
