We’ll have barrel of gluten free fun!
Greetings Glutards! Sorry for the lack of posts over the last week. This glutard has been very busy. But I managed to pull myself away from work just long enough to enjoy a great dinner and some gluten free libations at a new local spot. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Bainbridge Street Barrel House.
This great little spot at 6th and Bainbridge is a great location to get your drink on. For all of you non-glutards, the beer list is absolutely amazing. I was so jealous. But thankfully, they have a whole section of ciders and gluten free beers for those of us who need them. They have a pretty good selection, too. Definitely more options than most of the bars in the area.
First on my list was the Fox Tail Ale. This wasn’t bad. It was crisp and mildly hoppy. I could get down with a six pack of these in the hot summer months. Perhaps a pregame buddy for a Phillies game…
Next was the Lakefront New Grist. This was ok. I kinda felt like I was drinking a soda. Not terrible by any means. I recommend this for after you are already tipsy and need something light to keep drinking into the wee hours. *Warning: It may taste worse later when it’s coming back up…
For food, I started with the Brussels Sprouts and crispy bacon. I mean, you could mix bacon with just about anything and I would order it. They were fantastic. Salty and savory. Even if you are one of those people who are afraid of Brussels spouts, you should just suck it up and try them. Yes, I know they look like creepy little cabbages. But trust me, they are delicious.
On to the main course, which was the Stuffed Pork Chop. Definitely worth trying. It was very tender and was stuffed with apples and pears. Served with a great side of veggies. Best of all, completely gluten free. Just make sure you alert your server so they can make sure there is no cross contamination with any flour in the kitchen.
And that’s about all I got today, everyone. Make sure you check out the all new Bainbridge Street Barrel House. It’s a great place to socialize over drinks and enjoy some creative pub food.
Glutardedly Yours,
~Tim
