This is NOT a product endorsement blog. Instead, it is my way of saying THANK YOU to the companies that care enough about the Gluten-Free community to pursue this Gluten Free Certification Program through the GFCO.
This is not a paid endorsement, either. But Thank you GOD that there are companies out there who care.

Ginger --
My apologies for introducing myself here, but I couldn't find another way to contact you. I wanted to introduce myself and my new site, AllergyEats (www.allergyeats.com), which incidentally publishes the GIG's GFRAP designation for gluten-friendly certified restaurants.
In any case, AllergyEats was 20 months in the making and lists over 600,000 restaurants that can be searched geographically and are sorted based on the restaurant’s level of “allergy friendliness.” This rating is derived from fellow food allergy and intolerant diners who choose to rate the restaurants by answering 3 simple questions. Diners also have the opportunity to add comments to their quantitative ratings as well.
As a standalone restaurant database, AllergyEats is a useful tool for locating places to dine. In addition, however, I have included features such as allergen information, gluten-free menus, industry certifications, and other relevant information where available. The site will grow in value for those with food allergies or intolerances as more restaurants are rated and comments posted.
Please take a look at the site (www.allergyeats.com) and, if you like what you see, I would appreciate a mention and/or link on your blog and any other help in communicating this site to others. The more people who use AllergyEats, the more valuable it is for all of us! I will of course be happy to reciprocate any help you’re willing to give via the AllergyEats Blog, main site, or social networks as well. Also, I would love to reprint relevant articles, if you wish.
If you’d like to contact me, I can be reached at antico@allergyeats.com. If you’d like to see the launch press release, it can be found at www.allergyeats.com/blog/?p=146. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Paul
