There are tailgate markets all over the city and restaurants serve delicious combinations of fresh ingredients. Imagine a salad topped with roasted peaches served over house-pickled beets or lobster nachos in which the rich flavor of the guacamole and slaw rival the lobster on the palate.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in the habit of ordering a salad without croutons to keep gluten-free ordering simple, you&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised to discover that your waiter will usually offer you a side of bread. Don&#8217;t worry. He didn&#8217;t misunderstand. Gluten-free is mainstream here.
