Peter's of Dunwoody
We went to Peter's of Dunwoody, in Dunwoody, GA, based on a friend's recommendation of their gluten free chicken parmesan that is to-die-for. Well, I must say, we went without reservations on a Friday night and there was no wait. The totally nineties, frumpy, brown dining room was almost empty, and we were the only patrons under age 50. To our amazement, the frowning hostess took it upon herself to ask if we'd called ahead. My Marine and I exchange glances. Should we go wait at PF Chang's?
The waiter was less frowny, but when asked what was gluten free, he apologized profusely and said only pasta. Due to my friend's recommendation, I asked for the chicken parmesan, and was served a delicious chicken parmesan, without breading, over gf pasta (which seemed to be corn pasta, not my fave). Now you know, chicken is NOT my favorite. This chicken was JUICY, the marinara sauce was flavorful, and the pasta was ok. The Major's gluteny lobster ravioli was amazing, he says. I brought my own Against the Grain baguette.
It was a nice meal, but we were not full afterwards- I skip lunch on days I know I'm dining out for dinner. I wish it had been served with veggies. Seth enjoyed the caesar salad and I loved the caprese salad (mozz & tomato with a green dressing). Seth also had spumoni ice cream and coffee, which was served in a country mug decorated with little birds on a branch, just like at Grandma's house! In the nineties, of course.

Little Azio's Gluten Free Pizza (and pasta)
Look what I found on the Find Me Gluten Free iPhone app: Little Azio's Pizza- an Atlanta chain! They have gf pizza crust and pasta. I had the gf pizza -$2 upcharge. It cost $11 and was the size of a large dinner plate. The quality and freshness of the toppings is amazing! Yum! The crunchy, rolled edge of the crust is great and the texture of the crust is neither crumbly, nor gummy. The flavor of the crust has room for improvement- needs olive oil n spices, but it is a great, uncrumbly vehicle for toppings! I visited the East Atlanta location in a trendy, little shopping block. Inside Azio's is a casual, contemporary atmosphere. You order at the counter. There is a Cupcakery next door that told me they are in development stages of a gf cupcake. More suckers trying to reinvent the wheel! I'd buy a Betty Crocker gf cupcake if they made those!
