Thank you to two fine cities, who awed us with their plentiful, and delicious gluten-free food options. I cannot WAIT to go back, when we have more time to explore. Some recaps & reviews of places we visited will be posted eventually. But for now, I have to go on & on about my very first cheesecake experience in over two years. And oh my was it a memorable one. Our very first official meal in Chicago was arranged by a vegan friend in Seattle, who was mindful of our location, & my food intolerances. So we met at a spot called Chaco Canyon Cafe. For some reason I was not hungry (which is a rarity), so I labored over which of the many items on the menu I should have. Eventually it occurred to me that they had CHEESECAKE, & it was cheesecake that I could actually EAT. I then knew that my “dinner” would be dessert.
The cheesecake was amazing. Not only could I tell no difference from my beloved memory of past cheesecakes (which were full of gluten AND dairy). But this was amazingly good. My partner (who is a gluten AND dairy eater) tried it as well, & wholeheartedly agreed with me. It was beyond just a decent dessert. It was addictive. And the best thing is, I ate 3/4 of it, & did not feel the least bit ill, or as if I had overindulged (which would have happened three bites into a regular piece of cheesecake).
We look forward to heading back, trying more things on the menu, AND OF COURSE, having more cheesecake.
