I have moved around a lot (former military) and lived in a lot of places where there were Fuddruckers. I used to really like them. Independent of the gluten-free issues, the quality at the ones near me have dropped in quality a lot. From the gluten-free perspective, it is clearly one of those places that doesn't have a specific gluten free menu but there...

I was in ROTC but didn't do the drill team. As a cadet I ran the drill competition at ETSU in the spring of '82. Congratulations on your team's performance.
