Air Fryer Burrito

I took a roadtrip to Asheville with a gluten-free family member, and here’s what we ate. Before you ask, we didn’t go to Posana, the completely gluten-free restaurant in Asheville. It wasn’t open while we were there. So, here are some options for when Posana is closed.

Early Girl Eatery

Early girl serves both breakfast and comfort food all day. I had gluten-free chicken tenders with cinnamon apples and fries (the mashed potatoes were sold out), with a peach-flavored lemonade. It was all delicious and hit the spot after a long day in the car.

Old Europe Pastries

This place is dangerous. I’ve never seen so many gluten-free dessert options. I had the godiva cheesecake and the peanut butter chocolate mousse, and I’m still dreaming about them.

Green Sage Cafe

Another cafe with all-day breakfast, but with a focus on healthy ingredients. We liked it so much we went back twice. The pancakes, wraps, bowls, and muffins were delicious. Note that they’re “gluten sensitive” rather than gluten-free (they don’t guarantee no cross-contamination).

Strada Italiano

I don’t have a picture of Strada’s Tuscan stuffed figs because they lasted about 2 seconds on the plate. After the table next to us got theirs, we heard strange moaning sounds. Just, get the figs.
