Best Burgers In America

Black Hills Burger and Bun in Custer, S.D. (A half hour form me) has been rated best burger in the USA by both Tripadvisor and Travelocity. They grind their locally grown beef to order and make their own buns.

 

I just found out they also make a gluten-free bun and have a dedicated fryer for french fries. A celiac friend eats there regularly and never gets sick. He's going to take me there soon! :D

 

The thing I have missed most, to the point I have regular dreams about it, is a good burger and fries from a restaurant. (Making them at home just isn't the same.)  

 

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Just had a dream last night where I ordered a hamburger, without bun, at a fast food restaurant, and saw the food preparer make it with a bun, and then take the bun off. I said "hey, that will make me very sick". Next thing I know, I'm eating a hamburger with the bun! And really tearing into it! lol. Yeah, I know, my dreams are crazy, and make no sense.

 

Hope you enjoy your gluten-free burger. The last gluten-free burger I had was at Red Robin. It was their signature cheeseburger, with bacon, and a fried egg. It was the messiest thing I've ever had. Every bite was followed by face and hand wiping, luckily they have large, heavy duty napkins. lol. An absolutely insane burger! My experience was most likely enhanced by one of their "adult" milkshakes! lol

 

best regards, larry mac

We just got to go to a new restaurant that had a gluten free bun and safe French fries to eat.  WOW  Talk about feeling like a normal person!  The worst part about it, was I forgot how to eat a big burger with a bun.  It felt so weird. :ph34r:

 

Brown Iron Brew House in Washington, MI  ( just north of 25 mile Rd. on Van Dyke)  It just opened and has some mixed reviews, but for gluten free dinning it is fantastic!  Some of the critics didn't like the interior design.  From talking with the waitress, the current table settings are going to be put to the outdoor dining area when that part opens. Even a gluten free desert!

A burger just has to have a good bun or it is just fried ground meat. I wish I lived near you.

I invite ALL of you to come on out this summer. The Black Hills are (IMO) the most beautiful place in America. You can see Mt. Rushmore, the Needles Highway, Spearfish Canyon, Hot Brook Canyon, The Wildlife Loop in Custer State Park with bison, elk, deer (both mule deer and white tails), antelope, mountain goats, big horn sheep, coyotes, foxes, prairie dogs, and if you're lucky you might even see a mountain lion.

 

You can take in some of the great events here including concerts, theater, street theater, craft fairs, some great wineries, some great museums, hiking, fishing, and so much more.

 

You can stop in and visit the best little music store in America (if I do say so myself), and after I've played tour guide we can stop in and get burgers. Maybe the next day we can go to Lintz Brothers for a really fantastic gluten-free pizza.

 

Come on out! :)

We took a road trip to the black hills area with my dad shortly before he passed away.  Other than our vehicle breaking down (great hospitality with local people with that) it was one of the best trips I have taken.  So pretty!  We saw the prarie dogs, and we witnessed big horn sheep mating which apparently is a rare sight, and good for the species.  Want to go again!

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy).

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy. With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back...

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is...

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect. During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am...

      Test uncertainty

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:

My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.
