Dining Out Gluten-Free By Taylor Smith Even though an estimated 1 percent of the population suffers from celiac disease, dining out while staying gluten-free has become increasingly popular at restaurants throughout New Jersey. For example, iPhone apps like Find Me Gluten-Free allow users to view local business ratings and reviews, along with gluten-free menus and allergen lists. In addition, many popular chain restaurants have special gluten-free menus available upon request. Of course, there’s always the risk of cross-contamination in restaurant kitchens that are not exclusively glutenfree, but for those who do not have celiac disease, it is possible to follow a mostly gluten-free diet at any of the restaurants listed below.
