I added two new restaurants to my restaurant list: City Kitchen Pizza
in Southampton, Pennsylvania, which offers GF pasta, and Elevation
Burger in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. The latter, which is set to open
its first area location this month, offers organic burgers free of
fillers and fries cooked in 100 percent olive oil. Simplicity Desserts
in Voorhees, New Jersey is a new addition to my list of bakeries.

Uno Chicago Grill has added veggie pizza to its gluten-free menu,
following its successful introduction of cheese and pepperoni
varieties a few months ago. The veggie pizza features peppers, onions
and mushrooms as toppings. Thanks to Maureen at Hold The Gluten for
the info. Uno will host a national "Dough Rai$er" from Monday, May 25
through Sunday, May 31 to benefit the American Celiac Disease Alliance
in support of National Celiac Awareness Month in May. Diners
interested in participating in the fundraiser can secure a voucher at
this link, which they can then bring to their local Uno Chicago Grill
location. Twenty percent of sales generated from those who participate
will support the ACDA cause.

fresh gluten-free breads, rolls and sweets at the market. Freshly
