Gluten Free in DC

I know I already posted today, but I also wanted to include an all gluten free friendly post.

Below is a list of restaurants both that I've been to and want to try- Gluten free (GF) of course:

GF pizza:
1) District of Pi in Gallery Place: http://www.pi-dc.com/

2) Open City in Woodley Park: http://opencitydc.com/

3) Mellow Mushroom in Adam's Morgan (haven't been here yet): http://www.mellowmushroom.com/adamsmorgan#/store/index/adamsmorgan

GF options available:

2) Busboys and Poets (several locations): http://www.busboysandpoets.com/

3) Zorba's in Dupont: http://www.zorbascafe.com/

4) Cafe Green in Dupont: http://www.javagreen.net/locations/ This place is all vegetarian and offers tons of gluten free, dairy free options. I know it sounds disgusting, but it's incredible.

5) Sweegreen (various locations): I love this place- far superior to Chop't

And of course Mexican restaurants: All corn tortilla chips; froyo places (but watch out for cake flavored yogurts- cake batter, cookies n cream, etc); salad places (sans bread); always ask if gluten free soy sauce is available at sushi places (it most often times is in DC)- avoid teriyaki sauce (including eel rolls), ginger dressing, seaweed salad, and crunch rolls because these often contains gluten; almost all grocery stores have GF options either in a separate aisle or mixed amongst various products, so look around!

Places I can't wait to try:

1) Tortilla Coast opening up in Logan Circle: http://www.tortillacoast.com/

2) Ted's Montana Grill in Ballston, VA: http://www.tedsmontanagrill.com/menu.html I know this is a chain, but how can you not want to go to a place with pickles on the table and Bison burgers and salads?!

3) Mala Tang in Courthouse, VA: www.mala-tang.com/ I went to a hot pot place while in Boston, MA called Shabu Zen and while I'm fairly certain nothing can top that place, I can't wait to try this one.

4) Big Bear Cafe in Bloomingdale: http://bigbearcafe-dc.com/ Looks awesome and in the new up and coming area- they don't do gluten free, but that's not imporant in a coffee.
