Going to college can be tough, especially when you are moving into a different, unfamiliar city. For me, moving to DC was a big change but lots of family and friends told me how much I would love it! Another great thing about moving into such a popular city is all of the restaurant tips I got; little did I realize some of them were not gluten-free friendly. Here are a few places that I explored and found to be delicious and friendly to my diet!
1. Fuel Pizza: Offers 35 different options that any desire would crave. Personal sized 12” pizza and also serves gluten-free Red Bridge beer!

2. Baked and Wired: What’s better than a gluten-free dessert?! This bakery works carefully to maintain a selection of gluten-free options of all different sorts! My personal favorite is their Flourless Peanut Butter, my mouth waters just typing it!
3. Chima Brazilian Steak House: This all you can eat meat buffet can be a lot to handle ones first time through! A little pricier but the quality of the food is definitely worth it. Most likely not in a college student’s budget but luckily for me my sister used to hostess at a Chima near my home town (there are several locations) so I got my meal at a discounted rate! Although I could not find their gluten-free menu on their website a simple Google search will do the trick!
4. P.F. Chang’s China Bistro: Two words, lettuce wrap. OMG the lettuce wraps are delicious and they serve them in a gluten-free and non gluten-free options but both are as tastey as ever! Also P.F. Chang has a great gluten free menu with a variety of options. What’s even better about this place? There is a gluten-free soy sauce option and some of their products are sold at grocery stores so you do not even have to tip the waiter!
