Hey!
In case you haven’t heard, we’re sponsoring a thing! Introducing, the Best of New Orleans Gluten Free Awards!
We opened up voting and allowed everyone in the metro New Orleans area (this includes Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, the North Shore, and St. Bernard Parish), to fill-in their favorite places and bites to eat! There were no rules, we just asked that you be honest and mention places that you thought deserved to win based on your personal experiences.
We ended up with over 200 nominees (156 exactly when you account for places that were double and triple nominated, in several different categories), and now, folks have until July 30th to vote for their favorite among the finalists.
Here are the 156 businesses that were nominated by the Gluten Free community in New Orleans: (In alphabetical order)

This is absolutely astounding to me! While I must admit that I don’t fully agree with all of the places on the list, and have had questionable experiences at others, this isn’t about me or my picks, it’s about the community and what places YOU love to (and feel safe) eating at!
If you haven’t voted already, you can get your vote in here:

Vote once per person, and again, I cannot stress this enough: please only vote for places that you’ve experienced personally, and that deserve it. This could mean someone getting sick, so we take our recommendations seriously here.
Your email address is required, but one person will win an amazing Gluten Free gift basket with some of my favorite goodies, so it’s required for me to be able to let you know you’ve won!
Please share with those you know in the community who care!
To living Gluten Free in New Orleans,

Please correct name of the business from Piccolo Gelato to Piccola Gelateria. Piccolo Gelato does not exist. Thank you so much and thank you for including Piccola Gelateria .
We corrected that mistake! So sorry about that and thank you for letting us know!
I vote for Meals From The Heart Cafe, they have the largest selections of GF foods and cater to people with food allergies.
