Back to Vegas -- this is not my favorite city, but the food is great!
On this trip I stayed at the Aria so a bit of a different area than the past so a great opportunity to try some new things.
In the Aria:
Julian Serrano Tapas (x2) -- Yes this place was so good and had so many options I ate there twice! They bring you out a dedicated gluten free menu (and all allergies actually) so you aren't in question and you know the waiter isn't just guessing :)
Lemongrass -- Also in the Aria, was a nice restaurant to enjoy asian food - hardest to find for me! Sadly though the menu was pretty limited. They had a few curries, no appetizers, and in general limited. That being said my green curry was amazing and those I dined with greatly enjoyed their foods as well.
Five50
Had a quick lunch here in between meetings. They do not have gluten free pizza which was sad but not too surprising. Bonus: made me get a salad :) And I will say it was a great salad, and she was knowledgeable on dressings.
Outside of the Aria:
Holsteins -- Took a walk up the strip one day and stopped in here. Was a great burger place with normal size gluten free buns - Winning!! Their fries are not gluten free, but they were able to sub a side salad.
Aureole - Yes this is also in gluten free vegas part 1 but that was actually a trial for a large group dinner we had at this event. They were amazing to work with and able to accommodate gluten free in the pre set menu. And the bread...amazing!

Gluten free - Wilmington and Philly
Hello!
I was back on the road and to your benefit means I have more options for gluten free dining!
First stop: Wilmington DE. I had a meeting there that required a 1 night stay so I have 2 options for you.
Wilmington:
1. Mikimotos -- asian food. They are very knowledgeable, as well as having good options. I had 2 sushi rolls one with lump crab and asparagus and of course the Philly roll! We then split Pad Thai which was excellent and had chicken and shrimp. Really nice to have options and noodle entrees!
2. Washington Ale House - pub food. Was a bit skeptical as it was pub food which isn't typically nice for GF. They had good salad options so I ordered the cobb but was sad to be hear they had no dressing?!?! Now i'm not entirely sure if it was just a lack of understanding or really all their dressings contained flour - thinking likely they just weren't labeled GF so they didn't want to risk which I appreciate and had it not been a work lunch might have dug a bit more. They brought out oil and vinegar which worked out fine and the salad itself was good.
Philly:
We made the drive to the airport early to get some good food in Philly. We made our way to Morimoto Restaurant near the liberty bell. It was such a great atmosphere, very modern with great lighting.
While I was disappointed that their sushi was not gluten free -- malt vinegar in the rice (uggh hate when they do that!). They had this amazing dish that I might not have otherwise had ishi yaki bop rice dish prepared at your table in hot river stone, that I had with wagu beef. They basically brought a bowl out that was 450 degrees and cooked the beef, raw egg and made a fried rice of sorts - so good!
