Pampas Brazilian Steakhouse In Palo Alto, Ca

I just moved from San Francisco to the Peninsula, so I don't really know where a lot of the good restaurants are. My boyfriend remembered going here a while back, and suggested it. Pampas is right next to the Palo Alto Caltrain station. Open Original Shared Link

I checked out the website in advance, and decided that there were only a few meats on their Rodizio (all you can eat meat on skewers) that might be questionable. I asked the waitress once I got there, and she told me the meats were ok, but then made me a bit nervous when I started asking questions. She was new, so she went and asked the chef just to make sure. (I love when they do that without asking.)

She came back with an extra plate of one type of bread that we'd already gotten at the table, and said it was gluten free. My first thought was "uh oh." Then the chef came out and told me that the little cheese breads were made with manioc flour, and that they were gluten free. They were SO GOOD! She then told me everything on the menu that wasn't gluten free, and why. There's not much with gluten in the first place. The chef was great! She said she totally understood because her mother is gluten intolerant. I was impressed that the huge side dish buffet had little cards at each dish that said "vegan," "contains garlic," etc.

It was an excellent meal, and I still feel great this morning, post meal. :)

      Yes, but it does say it is wheat free. So, if it does contain gluten, it would must have come into contact with barley or rye somehow which isn't very likely. I think a lot of companies with products like this aren't willing to claim gluten free status because they don't want to got through the expense of testing and/or incur the liability risk if some customer has a reaction from a batch that slipped through and didn't meet the standard. Yet, in reality they are probably safe for most celiacs. Are you super sensitive?

      I did see that one! The facility description is definitely promising, however, on the manufacturers website it says it isn't gluten free under "additional information" so it's hard to know if it can be trusted!  https://www.olivenation.com/soy-flour.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqm52IxCCZyEHR9L6auoR25t15xe_jt2qpYDAA7nCDIIImh00c1

      Welcome to the forum, @Newhere19, I agree with @Beverage about getting a DNA test for Celiac genetic markers and trying the gluten free diet.   An endoscopy would be able to check for visible damage and allow biopsies to be taken to examine for microscopic damage.   Some people have camera endoscopy.  Would this be a possibility?   Sending encouragement.  You've found a tribe that understands.
