Gluten-Free Featured Resource: GiG Restaurant Finder

The Gluten Intolerance Group operates The Gluten Free Restaurant Awareness Program, a restaurant certification program for gluten-free dining.  Their website has a finder for their participating restaurants that lists participating restaurants by state or within a radius from a zip code.

The participating restaurants are guided through the process of setting up a gluten-free facility by GiG, including how to set up the kitchen and train staff to avoid cross-contamination.  The GiG also does spot audits of participating restaurants to ensure compliance.  Of course, nothing is an absolute guarantee when you're at the mercy of someone else's kitchen in a non-dedicated facility, but these should be at least a safer bet than the "gluten-free friendly" tag on Urban Spoon.

You can learn more about their program and what they require from the restaurant by clicking on their FAQ under Site Resources near the bottom of the screen.
