Hello world, part deux! The Gluten Freak is back and this time I’m imparting the wisdom or 16 years of trying to live a gluten free, lactose free, sucrose free, fructose free, soy free life all the while trying to be a functional adult in a society and food culture that looks awfully different since…

Gluten-Free Art?
My father recently shared with me a hilarious and borderline ridiculous post where there is apparently a Tumblr page that features a virtual art museum…WITH THE GLUTEN REMOVED?
The FREAK Out: Episode 1
Just because a dish does not contain wheat products DOES NOT make it gluten-free.
No chicken stock? No problem.
Home sick today with strep throat and tea just wasn’t doing the trick. I need something else warm and ordering in or going to the supermarket was definitely out of the question. I’ve seen enough food shows to know that cooking a soup from scratch only needs a few core ingredients and then you can…

The place was recently opened as Friedman’s already has a well-established lunch-based place in Chelsea. The decor was simple but rustic, high ceilings and a comfortable atmosphere. Food was…
