Being gluten allergic since age 18, I’ve tried to Gluten free restaurants Los Angeles that have gluten-free options while also providing good food. I have found places that have gluten-free food that I don’t have to suggest salad or side orders of rice! Not to brag, but I am gluten-free certified and haven’t been glutened at these places, and I promise that these places have food that gluten-eaters and gluten-free eaters will enjoy. I know this will be a two or three part series since I need to add NYC and London. First list is just for LA.
