Three Things We Learned

Last week we visited the restaurant in Springfield, Massachusetts for a Saint Patrick's Day dinner. Here are some things we learned on our visit:

Gluten-free options were plentiful on the menu. It's surprising that my daughter didn't want to try the gluten-free chicken wings appetizer even though she had a lot to pick from. In fact, in the appetizer section, there are 9 items and only 2 of them are not gluten-free. Even the kid's menu has gluten-free items - which is certainly unheard of in most restaurants that we have visited.

Note: The menu states that the item can be prepared gluten-free, which means you need to ask for the gluten-free version - don't assume that it will be made gluten-free.

She ordered a "build your own burger" and asked for a gluten-free roll for $1.99 extra. Iceberg lettuce bunless options, which cost nothing extra, are also available, but no twelve-year-old will want to eat that. A bunless option may be healthier, but it also lacks the texture and flavor that a bun can provide. Also, the cost of the gluten-free option was relatively small compared to the overall cost of the meal, so it was a reasonable request.

As Plan B does not sell beers from foreign countries, Guinness was not available on Saint Patrick's Day. However, Founders Breakfast Stout Nitro was available and was a pretty good substitute. Founders Breakfast Stout Nitro is an American-style oatmeal stout with a creamy, nitro finish. It is a much-loved beer among craft beer lovers and a great alternative to Guinness. It was a hit at Plan B on Saint Patrick's Day.

In Conclusion

In conclusion, Plan B Burger Bar in Springfield, Massachusetts, is a great option for those looking for delicious gluten-free food. From burgers to salads, sides, and desserts, the restaurant has a range of options that are safe and delicious for those with dietary restrictions. So next time you're in the area, be sure to check out Plan B Burger Bar for a delicious and satisfying meal!

 

About

This series of posts will cover some tips and tricks that I have learned about my twelve-year-old daughter's gluten-free lifestyle in the Boston area. Gluten-free eating can be challenging in any big city, but especially in Boston due to the high number of restaurants and availability of options. I've been learning what I can to make sure my daughter can still enjoy eating out, and I want to share what I've learned so that other families in the same situation can benefit.
