Review of Lu’au Kalamaku

Took my chances with the buffet. GF options were labeled and included jasmine rice, Kalua pork, and steamed garlic vegetables (I had all three). No GF desserts.

I felt nauseous right after eating, then felt better—I thought maybe it was because I haven’t eaten red meat in months. Unfortunately, I did have my telltale signs of glutening (stomach issues, insomnia) and did develop a gluten rash on my arms and thighs the next morning. I assume it was cross contamination rather than full on gluten consumption because I did not throw up - probably CC during the cooking or serving process.

It’s a great show, so I recommend eating before and not risking the food like I did.
