Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

I apologize for the delay in getting this info out- I've been busy with a newborn!

Two weeks ago, I got some additional information regarding GF eating at Parkview Field. Here's what they said:

"Great News!

We have a new startup bakery called Good Grains out of Roanoke, Indiana baking fresh gluten free buns for us. She has her own mill and had developed a wonderful combination of grains to make a fresh soft bun that do not crumble. We introduced these buns over the last home-stand and received great review from them.

We are also working on a flatbread for the hotdogs, brats and sausages that we have so they can also be enjoyed by all our fans."

Soooo.... get out and enjoy a Tincaps game- and food!

Gluten Free at Parkview Field

Below is a response I received today regarding GF options at Parkview Field.

Enjoy!

(Additional info in a later blog update can be found HERE.)

We have made a great effort to make many of the items served at Parkview Field Gluten Free. Below is a list of the Gluten Free food that is served at Parkview field. Please note that while most things are either naturally gluten free or made gluten free, very few items we receive are “Certified Gluten Free”, and while we take great precaution to ensure ideal conditions , we do not have a gluten free prep area.

French Meadow Wins Again

A few weeks back, I bought a package of soft tortilla shells at Fort Wayne Custom Rx. That's the only place I've seen these (I think...? Does A&B Natural Foods have them? I don't recall...... I always get the pizza crusts there!), and French Meadow did not disappoint.

Okay, maybe I was disappointed that there were only 6 in the package, but I'd still buy it again.  :)

I found they worked best slightly warmed in the microwave. They were soft and even softened back up when reheated. They didn't get dry and crunchy.

They were definitely the best soft tortillas I've had since going GF. Without compare. I wouldn't expect anything less from French Meadow Bakery.

Seriously, we need to get more of their products in more of our local groceries! A&B has their pizza crusts, Kroger has their brownies, FW Custom Rx has these tortillas, and Meijer occasionally has their cupcakes. I know some restaurants use their bread (Dash-In does, or at least last I knew), but I've never been able to buy it. This brand is awesome!

I don't know about you, but I'm thinking waffles sound good right now!

Baker Street

It's been 6 months since I've discussed them HERE.
Please review that link.

Concerns were recently expressed in the GFFW Facebook group about their GF menu- and the fact that they have now removed this menu because it was not completely GF.

I looked back at their GF menu, which is still posted online HERE.
I couldn't help but notice that the items mentioned in the blog post last summer still appear in this menu online.

I've never eaten there; it's a bit out of my price range these days. Please share your experiences here on the blog, on www.facebook.com/glutenfreefortwayne or at glutenfreefortwayne@yahoo.com.

I've heard plenty of positive reviews of GF dining there, but the most recent report I'm hearing is not encouraging.
