Gluten Free Foodies Event at Anthony’s Bremerton August 21, 2010
August 10th, 2010 at 7:33 am by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie
Anthony's Burnt Cream made daily! Sounds like a great reason to order dessert first! While I was waiting for my fellow Gluten Free Foodie, Cynthia, to join me for lunch the other day at Anthony's in Bremerton, I learned that they have a Baker that goes into their restaurant daily to make desserts. That is not common at most restaurants!
So when I told Cynthia ... we decided we must get the Burnt Cream! I also wanted her to try the new Gluten Free menu that started a few months ago. This location is just a few steps off of the ferry and has a sweeping view of the Port of Bremerton. There is seating indoors and out on the deck. Just about every seat in the restaurant has a view of the water so you feel like you are on vacation and sitting in the best seat!
While we were catching up our server, Angel, came over to greet us. We asked for the Gluten Free menu and she told us that she had Celiac Disease too! She actually handed us a Gluten Free Menu on Paper with Starters, Entrees and Desserts - such a great Gluten Free variety. We had a great time talking to her and learning about the menu.
We ordered
Spinach Salad with NW Berries and Hazelnuts
and
Classic Caesar Salad (sans croutons)
Both served on a beautiful chilled glass plate! How lovely is that on a very hot summer day?
Roasted Garlic Prawns - butterflied with roasted garlic butter, fresh lemon and sprinkled with Gremolata.
and
Wild Alaska Silver Salmon - oven roasted and finished with sndried tomato basil butter.
and
Wild Alaska Silver Salmon - oven roasted and finished with sndried tomato basil butter.
Both of these entrees were served with Basmati Rice Pilaf with golden raisins and locally grown seasonal vegetables - green beans!
Please note that you can ask for substitutions like no butter or order the roasted garlic mash potatoes. They are happy to do what they can to make sure you have a great meal.While we were enjoying our meal, it occurred to me what a wonderful place this would be to have our August Gluten Free Foodies monthly event. Just then, the general manager, John Heidt came over to introduce himself. I asked how the new Gluten Free Menu was started. He explained to me that his mother had Celiac Disease. He also had frequent requests for Gluten Free meals so he worked with the Executive Chef and management at Anthony's to create a full Gluten Free Menu. I told him how wonderful it is to actually have a menu with Starters, Entrees and Desserts written on paper to see a selection of Gluten Free creations to choose from as opposed to trying to make your own guesses at a menu. I was so happy that I told him that I wanted to have our monthly event there.
While we were chatting I also asked for some feedback about an idea that I have been wanting to do for some time. I wanted to start ...
Gluten Free Foodies - Gluten Free Food Drive for the fall. We were all very excited about the idea to be able to support our local community and families. So we are starting it this month at the event!

Looking for something different to do this weekend?
Wish you had more Gluten Free friends?
Well, I think I can help you!
Meet us at Mike's 4 Star BBQ in Port Gamble on July 24th at 4 PM.
Look for us sitting outside on the deck enjoying the gorgeous views around the quaint little town of Port Gamble while eating some of Mike's totally awesome Gluten Free pulled pork, beef brisket, chicken or no mayo slaw! Oh ... did I forget to mention the ribs and handmade sausage?! Mike even has a dedicated GF fryer to make some of his famous Old Mill Chips ... just for us! I like to dip them in their perfectly spicy and sweet BBQ sauce.
Mike's Four Star BBQ is located in the old filling station at 4719 NE State Hwy 104
We will be at Mike's until about 5:45 PM and then we will drive over to Kingston to enjoy the FREE Concert on the Cove that starts at 6:30 PM. Bring some of your favorite Gluten Free treats to share for dessert during the concert. Don't forget to bring a folding chair or a blanket to sit on the grassy cove. The concerts are at the Mike Wallace Park next to the Kingston Ferry. If you live in the Seattle area just walk on the ferry to meet us for the concert.
The concerts are organized by the Kingston Chamber of Commerce.
If you have any questions or think you will meet us at both locations or just one, please let me know so I can look out for you and save some space.
Please note each person or family will be paying for your meal at the time that you order. Families and friends are welcome, even if you aren't Gluten Free but curious please feel free to join us for some really great food and music!
Looking forward to seeing you,
Lisa
