Gluten-Free & Paleo Pop-Ups

July 27, 2012 by zenbelly 2 Comments

Exciting News! 

Every Saturday in August, Food Lab will be hosting  Zenbelly for some pretty incredible popup dinners.  For anyone who hasn’t heard of this trend, popups are essentially temporary restaurants that feature chefs who don’t have their own restaurant, but have something exciting to offer.  In this case, I have created a 100% gluten-free menu that is predominantly paleo.  The ingredients are all sourced locally; grassfed meats from a local family-run ranch and produce from Miramonte Farms in San Juan Batista.  The intention of these dinners is to feature the best of what’s in season, farm to table style, while at the same time  offering the gluten-free and paleo communities an opportunity to order anything on the menu. 

For the gluten-free but not paleo folk, there will be seriously delicious breads from Bread Srsly, who: “makes gluten-free breads for the sensitive foodie. We bake by hand in small batches, and incorporate locally grown organic produce from farmers we trust. And because riding bikes is (almost) as thrilling as baking, we deliver the breads by bicycle for free.”

I tend to stick to a mostly grain-free diet, but when Sadie from Bread Srsly offers me some toast, I happily accept. It’s really, really good.
