Switch Restaurant and Wine Bar
Okay, I have been going to Tom Jetland's restaurants since moving to the Valley. Not only do I really like the food he serves but I love his philanthropy. He is forever doing fundraisers through sharing his profits or through special events. He gave me gift certificates to three different restaurants that he owned when I was the Chair of a fundraiser at my daughter's school. He even supports some of the same things I do which is another great thing!
So maybe I am a little biased here.......but that's okay. It's my blog! The other great thing about Tom is that after my diagnoses and change to eating gluten free, he stepped up to the plate and began carrying gluten free buns,* so that I could eat my favorite burger at Switch.
Now, I eat one of two chicken sandwiches* * offered since I quit eating read meat,but I enjoy it on a gluten free bun! His staff knows what gluten free means. When you request a gf bun, your side salad automatically has no crouton added. That is soooooooo cool! Each evening they offer a different item for $5.55 currently, with Monday being Burger Night.
Need an appetizer to start? Try the flavorful Garlic and Lemon Hummus. They serve it with artichokes and red peppers but they will give you veggies instead of pita if you ask!
When I go to brunch, I can order my CRUSTLESS quiche with Hollandaise sauce as opposed to the Mornay sauce that it comes with to maintain the gluten free status. If I ask a question of something on the menu, nine times out of ten, the staff knows what's in it. If there are any questions about the gluten status, they find out! Oh, and don't forget to have an amazing drink with your brunch! As of this date, they offer $3 Cape Cod, Screwdrivers or Bloody Mary Carafes and Mimosa Carafe go for $6.
I am so seriously happy about the attention to my needs that it makes Switch one of my automatic "Go To Places" in town. If you are looking for a great place to have some phenomenal food and not have to worry about your food being prepared right, go check out Switch Restaurant and Wine Bar. Tell them Susan sent you!
* There is currently a 95 cent upcharge for gluten free bun.
**My two favorites are the Murano Chicken and Prosciutto: Sliced Chicken, Prosciutto, Smoked Gouda Cheese, olives, tomato and aioli. And the Apricot BBQ Feta Chicken: Sliced Chicken, Apricot BBQ sauce, Feta, Spinach, aioli, cilantro and onion.
