Gluten Free Philly’s Michael Savett explains how planning ahead makes beachside dining a breeze.
Summer vacations are often a time to indulge, but for someone with celiac disease, it isn’t always easy.
A recent article in Shore News Today highlighted gluten-free options at the Jersey Shore, a popular summer destination for Philadelphia area residents. NFCA Business Advisory Board member and Gluten Free Philly founder Michael Savett offered his take on gluten-free dining at the shore.
Michael, a resident of Cherry Hill, NJ, launched his blog when his son was diagnosed with celiac disease. The blog highlights restaurants and stores that offer gluten-free options, as well as new gluten-free products and events for celiacs in the area.
According to Michael, “planning is the key” when setting out for a gluten-free dinner. He calls ahead and carries dining cards to explain his son’s gluten-free needs, the article noted. Fortunately, many restaurants now have gluten-free menus listed online or in dining guides, Michael added.
The article also spotlighted Pure Tacos, a restaurant in Ocean City, NJ, that offers a 100% gluten-free menu. Owner Ted Schroeder has celiac disease, so he knows how important it is to avoid cross-contamination. “We get probably more than 10 celiacs a day that come in and tell us how excited they are to have food they can eat safely at the beach,” he told Shore News Today.
