Atlanta’s Gluten-free News – July 12th

Bar Margot has the ultimate summer lunch special that says ‘beach body be damned’. Executive Chef Michael Patria has added a $5 burger (gluten-free buns available)

to Wednesday’s menu and talks inspiration and toppings for the mouthwatering creation.

What was the motivation to sell the burger for only $5?

“I wanted to do something a little unexpected. While most places are focused on salads and smoothies during the summer, I wanted to give diners a cool place to come to for the fun foods we crave year round: burgers, tater tots, milkshakes, etc.”

What are your favorite toppings to put on the burger?

“That’s the thing about a burger — there are no rules. If it’ll fit on a burger, we’ll add it. The most popular addition we see requested is the fried egg over easy. Once it breaks, all that gooey goodness mixes in with the cheese and toppings for a sloppy and delicious burger.”

What has been your favorite shake thus far?

“Honestly, all of them! Every week, we offer a different shake that our pastry department creates with fun ingredients like cookies, liquor, toppings and homemade ice creams. On top of them all being delicious, they’re very photogenic!”

How long is this promotion going to last?

“Until the Wednesday after Labor Day — Sept. 4, so get here ASAP!”

The gluten-free fare at Bartaco continues to delight and amaze me. I stopped in for a quick meal and learned they have added gluten-free chicken empanadas and corn fritters to their menu. Both are made fresh to order and are free of gluten and full of flavor.

Black Walnut Cafe is spicing up summer with their addition of Hennessy Heat to the cocktail menu! This new summertime favorite is mixed with Hennessy, Triple Sec, diced jalapeños, lemon juice and peach simple syrup. Hennessy Heat is currently available at the Alpharetta and Peachtree Corners location for only $6! Be sure to stop by Monday-Friday for Afternoon Happy Hour from 3-6:30 p.m.

And on Wednesday’s, kids eat FREE after 4 p.m. at the both locations. Kids meals must be purchased from the Little Acorns section of the menu, which includes options like: AJB’s mac & cheese, ziti & tomato sauce, chicken dinner, cheeseburger, grilled cheese, chicken tenders and cheese quesadilla.

During the month of May, gusto! earmarked 10 percent of Saturday sales of its fresh, flavorful menu items from all four locations to the Atlanta BeltLine. By month end, the donation totaled to more than $5,000 to be used to further enhance this redevelopment project connecting 45 of the city’s in-town neighborhoods via a 22-mile loop of trails, parks and a streetcar.

According to TonetoATL, salad franchise Salata plans to open its next Atlanta area location just off Ponce de Leon Avenue across from Ponce City Market. The new eatery will open in place of where Olive Bistro closed this past fall. The 2,400 square foot space is located on the corner of the Home Depot/Whole Foods Market/TJ Maxx anchored center, adjacent to Wells Fargo and across from Starbucks.

Say ‘hello’ to summer with the launch of the Summer menu at True Food Kitchen. Full of vibrant dishes and drinks, crafted from seasonally abundant ingredients at the peak of their freshness, their their food can be customized to accommodate dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten free, keto and paleo—just ask your server. Two of their vibrant gluten-free dishes are:

Summer red fish with sweet corn, edamame, caramelized onion, grilled scallion, achiote, cilantro

Chicken Paillard paired with organic heirloom tomato, grilled broccolini, green bean, arugula, green goddess, lemon
