Chick-fil-A rolling out gluten-free bun, but there’s a catch

Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A has gone gluten free! Not entirely, but the nationwide chicken sandwich chain is poised to capitalize on its consumers’ dietary needs with a new menu offering. Chick-fil-A announced on Monday that it will offer gluten-free buns at restaurants nationwide, after reportedly receiving positive feedback from test marketed areas in 2016. The gluten-free bun is made with ancient grains quinoa and amaranth and sweetened with molasses and raisins. “We know our customers are looking for more gluten-sensitive alternatives. They asked, and we listened,” said Leslie Neslage, senior consultant of menu development at Chick-fil-A in a release on the company’s Chicken Wire. “Our hope is that the Gluten-Free Bun addition opens up options for gluten-sensitive customers to enjoy more of our menu.” The new bun can be ordered with any of the restaurant’s sandwiches. But there is one catch. Customers who order the gluten-free buns will have to assemble their sandwiches themselves. According to…

Spinach buckwheat pancakes made in the blender, perfect for Saturday mornings

Buckwheat pancakes are the perfect balance between delicate and hearty. They have more texture than the traditional buttermilk blend, and they don’t skimp on flavor either. Adding a cup of spinach to the mix makes it a balance between decadent and healthy, as well. And buckwheat is actually a great gluten-free alternative to the classically carb-heavy Saturday morning stack. Pancakes are one of my favorite breakfasts. I tell myself I can eat them more often if I improve upon their nutritional content, so when I first started to see green pancakes pop up on Pinterest, I had to investigate. The most photogenic stacks had used a white flour base, so the spinach color could shine through. This buckwheat version takes much of the color pop away, but leaves the health benefits in tact — and that’s more important than a photo, of course. While buckwheat is known as a healthy, nutty-flavored grain,…

Man orders gluten-free breakfast on flight, gets single banana

Gluten-free options in grocery stores and restaurants have expanded in recent years to the point where it’s almost easy to forget that wasn’t always the case. But the keyword is almost. The Telegraph reports that an airline passanger ordered a gluten-free breakfast for his nine-hour, $1,311 flight, and was surprised to receive only one solitary banana. The banana came with a sticker printed with “GF” — for gluten free — and was served to him with the standard packet containing cutlery, napkin and salt. The passenger, Londoner Martin Pavelka suffers from the digestive condition called coeliac and was on the second leg of his flight from Tokyo to Sydney on All Nippon Airways. “All other passengers were served a full breakfast meal consisting of eggs, sausage, mushrooms, bread, and yogurt,” he told the Evening Standard. “This was a nine-hour flight. Although definitely gluten-free, the banana did not keep me full for very…

Coming to Starbucks in 2017

Soon, you may be craving more than just Starbucks Frappes and PSLs. While the company first rolled out warm breakfast sandwiches in April 2003, we still don’t usually think of them for food. They’re hoping that’s about to change. A small but mighty menu is planned for release throughout 2017. With relatively few change-ups in their menu in the past consumers, were surely tiring of the basic egg white and spinach sandwich—especially this lady who ate nothing but Starbucks for year. Some items are already being offered in select Starbucks, and for the others we’ll just have to keep checking back in store—not like we’re not shamelessly there all the time anyway. 1. Sous Vide Egg Bites “Egg bites” on its own didn’t really inspire appetites, and things always sound tastier in French, hence “sous vide.” The fancy French cooking technique takes vacuum-sealed food, in this case eggs, and cooks them in precisely boiled hot water.…
