Although I have not personally been, I only hear amazing things about The Melting Pot. Well, here is another amazing thing about The Melting Pot… they now offer a gluten-free menu!

Recently, the owner informed GlutenFreeTucson.com that The Melting Pot has recently revamped its menu, such that they can make almost any cheese, salad, entree, or dessert gluten-free. You can preview/download the Melting Pot’s gluten free menu.

No More :( Gluten-Free Starbucks treat

Edit on July 25, 2009: Starbucks has, unfortunately, decided to stop offering the gluten-free Orange Valencia Cake.

You probably already knew this, but just in case: Starting May 5th, 2009, Starbucks offers a gluten-free dessert: the Orange Valencia Cake with Almonds. You can learn more at the Starbucks blog.

You probably already know the closest Starbucks locations, so I do not think I will list all 27 Starbucks Tucson locations (according to DexKnows.com)
