Turner Field Gluten Free Food stand in section 106-112. |
Originally from the Chicago area, I'm a Cubs fan. However, living the migratory military life with The Major, I bandwagon fan whatever teams are nearby (except when they play Chicago teams)! I have collected caps, tank tops or shirts for the Angels, Lakers, Dodgers, Cubs, Bears, Redskins, Wizards, and soon will add Braves and Falcons!
Gluten Free hot dog, gluten free beer, and bun at Turner Field in Atlanta, GA. June 30, 2012. |
Gluten free hamburger at Turner Field Summer 2011. |
My boyfriend's gluten dog, that dwarfs the gluten free one. |
A jarring moment occurred when an unobservant, preoccupied fan lugged his giant, foot-long, gluten-laden dog protruding on either end of a standard glutenous bun from a regular food stand, slopped it on the gluten free counter, and proceeded to dig in the basket of packaged ketchup and condiments with his gluteny paws to dress his dawg. I sure wish the server, who was not busy, would've been more aware of cc and shooed him away. Who wants crumbs of glutey bun in the basket of gf condiments?
My gf burger was fair (equivalent to any fast-food burger), and the tapioca bun sort of held together enough for me to eat it, but it did crumble at the end and I did have ultra-messy hands after. I plan to get it again next time.
I also got a chocolate chip cupcake at the stand, it's American Gra-frutti brand and, in my opinion, it was not a cupcake. It was scrumptious, but it was a muffin. It was dense and oily, like a muffin, not light, soft, and airy like a cupcake.
Finally, there are other "regular" foods that can be ok for gluten free people- cotton candy, Dippin' Dots, Ice cream, chips, smoothies, peanuts, etc. And they DO allow you to bring your own food and water into the stadium.

Braves Game Cupcake by American Grafrutti: Deeelicious, but it's a MUFFIN and thumbs-down on the frosting-cake ratio! |
