Seattle paleo burgers

Posted on by

I realize I’ve posted about Paleo eats in Portland and the Quad Cities but have never mentioned Seattle yet.  Well, in the last few weeks I’ve actually eaten out a few times at burger places that are Paleo friendly and thought it was due a post.

Blue Moon Burgers

IMG_8511First was Blue Moon Burgers in Fremont which Kristen and I went to on the day of the Geocaching Block Party.   Blue Moon has an extensive Gluten-free menu and even a Paleo Burger on the menu which consists of a 1/3 lb. beef patty, two strips of bacon, an egg and red onion all wrapped in lettuce.  I left the sauce off.  They also have sweet potato fries of various forms, regular and curry which are also GF.   Blue Moon also locally sources it’s beef and gives back to the community.   Blue Moon has location in Fremont, South Lake Union and Capitol Hill.

Quad Cities Paleo

Posted on by

I finally went back to Iowa to visit the family and was pretty worried about the food situation.   In advance I had ordered some staples on Amazon and had them shipped out – ghee, coconut oil, matcha, coconut milk, … and I figured that the fall-back plan was to drive to Iowa City to visit the Whole Foods there and load up on meats.   Boy was I in for a pleasant surprise.

The local Hy-Vee grocery chain has a huge Health Food section complete with a dietician on staff and a notebook full of their Gluten-Free products.  That section had things like Julian’s Paleo Bread, GT’s Kombucha, local farm-raised eggs, Bubbies kraut & pickles, uncured bacon, good dark chocolate and a host of GF products I’d never go near anyway.   Still, impressive, almost as good as PCC.  A huge organic produce section rounded this out, no problems getting good broccoli, chard, berries, bananas, avocados and sweet potatoes.

Portland Paleo II

I just cannot stay away from Portland, it is the only town where I can go out and eat without any worry about my crazy diet.   This last weekend I was down for the SIBO Symposium with my doctor and some SIBO friends and got to check out a new restaurant and a few old favorites from our last visit.

Departure Re-dux

IMG_6985On Friday night three of us walked downtown to go to Departure since it was a beautiful day and sitting out on the terrace just seemed like the thing to do. It was either that or go wait in line at Ox and hope we got in before we starved.    We ordered a LOT of food, tables full of food.  We ate for 2 hours non-stop.  It was great.  I think, if I remember correctly we ended up ordering:

Portland Paleo

Posted on by

IMG_6817Another great trip to Portland full of incredible Paleo food yet again.  This place amazes me, it is the only city I feel totally comfortable traveling to without worrying about what I can or can’t eat, it beats Seattle hands down for food options.   In February we ate at The Imperial, the restaurant of Top Chef 3rd place finisher Doug Adams, which was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten and at Cultured Caveman which was good old Paleo comfort food.  This time we added a few other places to our list.
