Johnny Carino's

We wanted to go out to eat tonight, but I was so scared. I don't know how restaurants prepare their food. I don't want to eat salad everywhere we go. What do I do? Well first, I call Pam. After a few suggestions from her, we decide on Johnny Carino's because it has a gluten-free menu. Cool.

I LOVE the bread dipped in roasted garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Let me tell you that God was watching out for me tonight. We ordered our food and our waiter tells us they are out of bread and it would be a while. I was so glad. I don't think I could sit there with warm bread while waiting for my food. It came at the same time as our salads, so I did have something to eat while Russ and the girls ate the yummy bread.

Back to the gluten-free menu. It was pretty cool. You just have to ask for the menu, it's a totally separate one. So I ordered chicken marsala with potatoes. They fix the chicken without flour and put it over potatoes instead of noodles. It was fantastic! When they first brought out my salad, it had croutons on it, but I sent it back and they brought me out a fresh one, with NO croutons. Our waiter was great and very understanding. Even the hostess was great. She told me she has celiac disease, so if I had any questions, to just ask her.

So for all of you celiacs out there- I HIGHLY recommend Johnny Carino's. And if you can- keep the bread off the table. It looked soooo good!
