How exciting!! Wow - 11. Tell J Happy BD!!
From what I remember the family has a connection to celiac...the daughters maybe? I can't remember.
This was on the list of places to go when the GIG conference was in Chicago. You have good reason to be nervous - it's risky even tho they offer GF items. I think I'd be on guard just like any other restaurant. Since you haven't been there before you can ask about how they handle CC issues, etc. Being new [or a tourist] gives you lots of leeway for stuff like that
Have fun!! We'll be waiting for a full report.
