Dining Debate: Who Has the Best Gluten-Free Options?

Welcome to "Dining Debate," a column aimed at sharing the best foodie finds in our area: Florissant, Hazelwood and Maryland Heights.

This weekly feature invites you to nominate and vote on your favorite places for a variety of eats and treats.

How does it work?

Every Monday, we will ask you to tell us your favorite place for a certain edible item.

This week we're looking for gluten free options. It can be difficult to find gluten-free dishes when dining out. This form of diet is the only medically accepted treatment for celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine.

Still, the term gluten-free is often used to indicate what is considered to be a harmless level of gluten, rather than a complete absence of it, so Patch wants to know: Where's the best restaurant to have a worry free meal safe from gluten?

You can let us know your favorite spot by commenting below. You will be able to submit your vote through 5 p.m. Tuesday. 

Then what?

We will post your nominations in an article Wednesday morning. Then it will be time to vote again—this time for the "Dining Debate" champion.

Voting will continue through 5 p.m. Thursday, and we will announce the winner first thing Friday morning. 

If you are really pulling for a certain location, share this column on Facebook and Twitter and ask your followers to vote. 

This column is all about hearing from you!

So, without further ado, lets get the voting started. Patch readers, tell us by commenting below, where is the BEST place for gluten-free meals in Hazelwood, Florissant, or Maryland Heights?
