Gluten-Free Options

Finding safe and healthy options for eating out can be a tricky process, especially if you suffer from Celiacs disease - a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine and prevents it from absorbing parts of food that are crucial for keeping yourself healthy. While some people have no choice but to eat gluten-free food, others enjoy staying on a gluten-free diet.

While some people are concerned about the language barrier between themselves and the staff, Celiac Travel has made it easier with free restaurant cards that you can download and carry with you to give to your server which will help explain what you are looking for.

There are dozens of different types:

It might go without saying, but there are lots and lots of different types of Chinese food. In Nashville and in Middle Tennessee in general tends to be Cantonese-style Chinese food. However, there are at least 15 regional types of Chinese food in China, if not many, many more.

MSG is a flavor in China

MSG has a pretty bad reputation in the US, but in fact it’s a natural flavoring in China, used to produce a rich umami flavor. In fact, a similar comparison to MSG would be cinnamon in the US: just another spice on the rack, albeit on that is used frequently.

The fortune cookie is Japanese, not Chinese

Essentially unheard of in China, the fortune cookie originated in Japan, but it really hits its stride in the US. It's very rare to find one in Japan now.
