My Favorite Gluten Free in Aspen, Colorado
I was diagnosed with celiac disease 8 years ago. Lucky for me, dining out gluten free has become easier. I live in Aspen, Colorado, known as a foodie town with world class dining. Most restaurants in Aspen offer gluten free items on their menus. Here are my top 5 choices.
Home Team Barbecue- delicious barbecue smoked on site. I grab the pulled pork tacos on a corn tortilla smothered in their Red Hot Sauce. All of their sauces are gluten free. Wash it down with the frozen ‘Gamechanger’ cocktail with a Goslings Rum floater.
Ajax Tavern- fantastic outdoor dining all year long. While their Double, Double hamburger isn’t a secret; made with wagyu beef, again this is all about the great gluten free bun. Be sure to get the frites for a classic American meal- upgrade to their famous truffle fries if you earned your meal with a hike or skiing.
Steakhouse 316- delicious steakhouse along with seafood. The Lamb Kofta are an appetizer with little yummy lamb meatballs. These are gluten free, no breadcrumbs added. They are served with a spicy sauce, I don’t recommend sharing! Also, if you are craving Indian food, (no Indian food in Aspen alas) order the Indian Spiced Chicken. A surprise item on the menu.
Jing- Asian fusion food on Main Street always has a lively crowd. There are many gluten free items on this…
