When you are a person who needs to go with gluten free options - sometimes your choices are limited.  I'm not talking about being sensitive to gluten.  I mean someone who is celiac - someone who cannot have gluten, or they will get very sick.  No one wants that.

WHERE CAN YOU GET GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS IN A RESTAURANT

I have noticed that there are a lot more restaurants that are offering more and more gluten free options.  The challenge is always making sure that whatever they are making isn't sacrificing taste just to make things gluten free or gluten friendly.

There is a bakery right here in Sauk Rapids that specializes in gluten free options.  It's called Mixin' It Up bakery, and recently it was reviewed by digital food critic, Tony Cu.

HAVEN'T HEARD OF TONY?  HE IS WIDELY KNOWN AROUND THE MIDWEST

There is the "Tony Effect".  What is that, exactly, you might ask?

He is well-known across Minnesota and the Midwest, with a positive, supportive review style that often brings a massive boost in customer traffic ("the Tony effect") to small, local businesses.

When anyone is being reviewed, no matter what it is for, everyone wants a positive review.  If you have something bad to say, always follow it up with something nice.  Balance the two out.  There is always something positive to find about anything you are reviewing.  Try it.
