My family and I are getting geared up for the Celiac 5k walk/run in Baltimore on May 4th.

We had a great time last year and got to try and buy lots of great foods - donuts, pizza, french bread...

Anyone else planning on going??

I had no idea there was such a thing, but how cool is that!! I love doing 5Ks. I'm not sure if I'll make it, but if it's an annual thing, we can definitely plan. But I am going to look into that, Baltimore is not so far away from me. Plus, I have a ton of fam in VA that I could visit that are about 2 hrs away... HMMMM... and get to try pizza.... the allure is growing stronger...

Definitely worth the trip! And they have some great (safe) restaurants there, too. My son cried when we left last year - he was so happy to have so much to eat out in public.

Anyway, check out the site at www.celiaccenter.org. You'll see celiac 5k walk/run on the left side bar. They have them in several states.

Gina, Can you share what restaurants are safe in B-more? Thanks.

Sure - I've got it at home, though. I'm at work - oops

Happy Girl,

OK, here are the places someone from the celiac center recommended:

Great Sage
Austin Grill
Legal Seafoods
McCormick & Schmicks

We ate at Austin Grill (yum) and Great Sage (double yum!). Both have websites. We didn't need to take our own menus.

Of course, this was a year ago. Hope they haven't changed!

Austin Grill is our absolute favorite restaurant...luckily there are 8 of them in the DC metro area. They are absolutely awesome, and I'm an extremely sensitive Celiac.

Legal Seafoods is great, also!

M&S is pretty $$, but I've never heard of Great Sage, so I'll look into it. Thanks for the info-I appreciate it.

The website is http://www.great-sage.com/ in case you hadn't found it already.

I LOVE Great Sage!

Yes!! I'm going! Can't wait. I live in Baltimore, so how can I *not* go?
