gluten free cbd - burgers


oh whoa is me.

eating gluten free in the cbd,

is an exercise in futility.


well, not anymore, especially if you're into burgers - and lets face it who isnt. grilld is a burger outlet chain which has a new (?) store in QV. I wondered past and discovered they have gluten free buns, and almost fell over, what what what? i was more excited than an apple geek at a steve jobs conference. And for the fickle among the gf flock, the thickner used in the sauce (1422) is gluten free too - i called them to verify :)


the buns must be made of corn flour, as they have a lightish yellow colour, and maintain that elusive "bouncyness" that the evil wheat breads are so proud of. they taste great - i got the "summer sunset" - which means it had, guess what, pineapple - with bacon, avocado and the usual burger stuff. Burger itself was cooked well, and retained some juicyness...fries where good as well, with the herbed mayo, or erbed mayo as the person at the counter with the US accent called it...:)


at ~11 dolleros and 1.5 for the buns, this is not a cheap burger - but worth every cent if you have gone without a burger for aeons like i have :)
