GLUTEN FREE & VEGETARIAN MENUS
A trend the Chamber is seeing this year is an expanded offering of Gluten Free and Vegetarian menus. Chef Gerry Walsh of The River House personally experienced the importance of embracing the needs those with gluten allergies.
“I’ve watched my cousin struggle to figure out an acceptable diet for her daughter, who was diagnosed with gluten allergies over 20 years ago. I have been trying to accommodate the special dietary needs for Celiacs and all allergy related menus for my guests ever since. We are committed to serving safe quality choices for all our guests regardless of their dietary needs. Of course we are continuing that commitment with our Restaurant Week menus.”
