Wellness Wednesday: Gluten-free dining in South Florida

My journey with Celiac disease, an auto immune disease in which the ingestion of gluten leads to damage of the small intestine, began in 2014. Although gluten free food options have tremendously increased since that time, there is still a lack of understanding and care for those with my specific dietary need.  So if you're like me, finding a restaurant that offers gluten free options can be extremely difficult. Luckily, I have found a few places in South Florida that fit the bill (and which I frequent very often).

Urban Farming with Tamer and Claire at Harpke Family Farm

Miami is known for its gorgeous views - from palm trees to shorelines. The city has been plastered throughout a variety of films and shows as this pinup paradise.  But sometimes the most beautiful sights in Miami can be found on its farms and fields, where fresh produce, flowers, and tropical fruits dot the landscape. Harpke Family Farms does not have those expansive fields to farm, but instead offers some of the best local organic microgreens and edible flowers on an urban farm in Dania Beach.

Chef Seth Blumenthal X Harpke Family Farm Dinner May 27th

Last month, I grabbed a few friends and ventured through the industrial warehouse area close to Fort Lauderdale airport to the Harpke Family Farm for a creative Sunday dinner featuring chefs from KYU.

This month, the urban farm, an unexpected oasis, welcomes celebrated Chef Seth Blumenthal (Chef de Cuisine, Alter) who we all know is serious about his craft, but doesn't take himself too seriously... (As evidenced by his hilarious #JackieChanBocuse and #SoigneWest alter egos!).

3030 Ocean: Oceanfront Seafood Bistro & Bar in Fort Lauderdale

Sunshine, clear skies, salty seas, and relaxation are what you expect while staying at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale. What you may not expect is the fantastic food brought to you by 3030 Ocean, the resort’s oceanfront American seafood bistro and bar.

Led by Executive Chef Adrienne Grenier, a former Chopped champion, 3030 has an exceptional menu, delicious food and many options. Their staff is well trained and knew which items were naturally gluten free and which could be made gluten free for me.

The menu focuses on four (or five) “smaller” plates (dessert not included), which leaves you feeling full, but not overwhelmed. What I enjoyed most about the menu were the unique food pairings, such as the Charred Octopus with marcona almond puree, farro, blistered tomatoes, feta, and arugula.
