Serving our gluten-free customers has never been better. Check out fun and amazing menu item ideas that will wow all your guests, regardless of dietary restrictions. Plus two new recipes.
Offering guests safe, gluten-free options doesn’t mean you have to put your rock star chef persona on hold. And there are plenty of ways to do just that.
For Southern Indiana University Sodexo Chef Michael J. Natoli, gluten-free menus are inherently futuristic. “This is an important factor for our menu engineering because of this generation’s propensity to adapt to diet,” he says. “Our board dining room offers gluten-free and plant-based (and non-plant-based) menu options daily, primarily for his Generation Z customers.”
That said, Natori and his team look for the “wow factor” from “creativity, presentation and taste.” This is especially important when catering large scale meals for special events on campus, trying to exceed as many allergy limits as possible to create a breathtaking plate that says, “Wow!” When placed in front of the customer at the customer’s table,” he says. That’s the crux of the cool collection of gluten-free ideas we’ve assembled here.
