Summary
Hi Everyone!
We had our monthly meeting last night at Blue - Restaurant & Bar, a 5-star restaurant.
Well, it is hard to describe a new highlight in our dining experiences but Blue tops our
list! We also now know celiacs have a taste for fine foods, as this was our biggest
turnout yet.
Blue has an extensive gluten-free menu and they even placed them in leather binders for
us…:>) Every GF item on the menu makes your mouth water. Chef Gene and his crew were
incredible and everything was made to perfection. We kept ooing and ahhing all night long!
Also, he even came in early yesterday just to make us a special gluten-free chocolate
cheesecake. It was topped with berries and drizzled chocolate and, well, can only be
described as better than a Renoir … satisfying multiple senses!
Blue treated us like royalty and we all walked away only thinking how can we make it back
here… birthday, anniversaries, new years eve, etc. I think you will agree with us, Blue is
definitely progressive in the restaurant industry!
It was so nice seeing some old familiar faces too! Several members who have been unable
to attend for various reasons came last night. We also had several new members and
family support come. We had a great time and lots of celiac information sharing, as usual.
Many of us zoned back in time where we were so relaxed at dinner, the conversation turned
to other topics like work or recently read books.
For those of you not familiar with the Charlotte, NC area, you should know Blue has a
great reputation among non-celiacs. It is known as one of the best restaurants in town so
know I am not exaggerating. If you call ahead, Chef Gene will make you a special gluten-
free dessert too. He’ll also work with you if you have other dietary challenges. If you
plan on coming to Charlotte or maybe you just need a weekend excursion, put Blue at the
top of your list! Charlotte is a very beautiful and clean city as well as a major airline hub
so flying in from anywhere will not be a problem. Also, the Blumenthal theater is just one
block away so doesn’t a play and dinner at Blue sound romantic? Write me if you would like
a copy of the menu (gf items will be prefaced with a diamond).
Warm Regards, Janet
