Red Robin Now Has Dedicated Fryers

Someone told me that Red Robin now not only has a gluten-free menu but also a dedicated fryer for french fries.

I've been to two of them in a week. One on M59 in Macomb Township and another in Brighton Michigan on Grand River. For those not familiar with Michigan they are about 60 miles apart.

I went to the one on M59 first about 4 days ago for lunch with my business partner. I asked them about the dedicated fryer and they said yes. I ordered a regular bacon cheese burger with no bun. The waitress said make sure when you get your fries they are in a yellow basket. Yellow baskets are strictly for gluten-free fries. They are done in a dedicated fryer.

Today for lunch we went to the one in Brighton and same situation.

Both times, zero reaction. Not even a hint. Even at Outback I do OK but you can always tell something snuck in there.

Now I did go at opening the first time and we were one of the first tables which lessens your chance of CC. Today we went in the middle of the lunch rush and its near a large shopping mall so it was packed.

No problems at all.

Great to have an option but $30 for 2 burgers and drinks is a bit crazy.

I just ate there last night!! Come to find out my favorite burger, the Royal Red Robin is on their gluten free menu, its delicious! Even without the bun! I will miss that Red Robin seasoning though, it was great on the fries. Very good choice for eating out, the whole yellow baskets and such made me feel better. A place that actually takes it seriously.

Thank-you for posting this; I am SUPER excited as we used to frequent the M59 location before going gluten-free; we will have to try it again sometime!

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
