Bethany Beach is one of my favorite destinations when it comes to having Celiac...everyone is so knowledgeable! Bethany Blues was a new try for me this year and they were nothing short of fantastic.
When we got there I asked the waitress if they had an allergy menu and she told me that she will have the manager come over to chat with me. She also assured me that they were great for gluten free!
The manager, Brian (I believe), came over in about 30 seconds to talk me through the menu. All the sides they had were gluten free except the Mac n cheese and baked beans. He made sure I knew which bbq sauce not to eat. Without asking he told me, "you can even get fries because we have a separate fryer". After our chat, he said, "If you feel comfortable, I'll go back to the kitchen and talk to them about changing gloves, utensils and importance of no cross contamination for your meal". That kind of validation makes the struggles of having to eat out and be gluten free simultaneously so much better!
There was a separate food runner for my food and he announced the meal as "the allergy plate".
The food was fantastic! The service and atmosphere were great! And it's the next morning...not a single symptom of a reaction! I'm a very happy, highly sensitive person with Celiac.
