My friend is gluten free. She and I met up the other day at Taco Cabana so she could eat. I looked around on the web and came up with this site that mentions eating out gluten free..... might help give you some ideas of options outside the box.

Hi Spirit. If you soak whole almonds in water overnight they are much easier to digest and get nutrients from. It's a very healthy snack. 6 almonds = a meal portion of protien! Be sure to squeeze off the woody brown peel when you soak them.
Iceburg lettuce has little nutrition and it's usually soaked with chemicals so no loss if you can't eat it. A lot of "food" alergies are from the chemicals food is treated with. By the way.... An allergy to the nightshade family of vegetables (tomatos, potatoes, eggplant and all peppers - sweet and hot, mimics rheumatoid arthritis! I found this out the hard way. After 2 years without them I was able to eat them again without problems. Food allergies go away as easy as they are developed. Moderation and variety!! Gluten free foods can be very tasty. Amaranth pasta is good, so many gluten free products now. Big problem is they are not cheap. I hope they give you answers soon.

Buffalo wings! Take your wings and place them on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet. I like to add spices at this point. Today were using garlic powder, pepper and no salt tony's. First bake your wings in the oven at 350 fer 20 min, you don't want them done all the way through! About med rare. This will kepp your wing juicy during the frying. The sauce: You can use any combo you wish, today i'm using a thick buffalo wing sauce combined with the ol tried and true, louisiana hot sauce. A good line will do on your butter, a whole stick will do. Then top off with the louisiana. Melt in the microwave, then stir it up till even. When your wings are crispy put a gererous portion of the sauce on the bottom of a large mixing bowl and toss. The wifey prefers her's with bacon ranch. You can choose your own or go like i dio and eat'em as is! Enjoy!

Whatever you give a woman, she will make it greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of *#@$.

Try the above with duck and finish with orange sauce or pesto. When you render the duck fat in the oven, pour it off into a pan and top off with lard. Fry as above and finish as desired.

Just found and read this entire thread this morning. Loved all the recipes and ideas. Printed out numerous recipes and cant wait to try them. Awesome job on presenting the buffalo wings....I had tried them at home once and they werent great but I didn't know about mixing the sauces with butter or baking them before frying. Great tips that I think will make a world of difference. Also, the pictures along with the recipe make it super simple to follow. I hope you guys keep posting recipe favorites of all kinds to share with us and I will try to post a few also. I am so hungry now and cant wait to start on some of these yummy sounding ideas. Thanks again everyone who contributed!

chef those wings look great but I try not to fry anything..sometimes even though I like hot foods hot wings have too much bite for me..sometimes they dont. yours look awesome.. bet the sauce with butter is much smoother less bite..
