"I've created a new web site called the 'Gluten Free City Guide'. It's a
custom google map with placemarks added to cities that have blogs/web sites
specifically about that particular city. There are a ton of web sites out
there and I've taken my best shot to add them all to the map. Please take a
look and let me know if you blog or have a web site talking about being
Gluten Free in a particlar city/area - I'll get it added! There are no advertisements and nothing to sell, just a useful resource to
help others. Zach, 1/09

This program was started by the Westchester Celiac Sprue Support
Group, but is now nationally administered and managed by the
national support group GIG. Individually owned and operated restaurants
are given materials and worked with to help them understand the
GF dietary needs. The restaurants that become certified have
agreed to prepare meals that they believe to be gluten-free.
The majority of the restaurants are located in the northeast
section of the U.S., but there are some throughout the United
States. See their website for the list of restaurants and locations.
