Work Christmas dinner just keeps getting better....
So, you remember my dilemma with even attending the dinner?! Things just got worse.
So, as my siggy displays, I have a gluten intolerance. It's not well-liked in this small office, to put it lightly, and has definitely caused drama in the past. Now, the other two have a FAVORITE restaurant in town (which their mutual friend owns/manages) that they were hoping to go to. Turns out, the restaurant doesn't feel comfortable at all with serving someone with a gluten intolerance. So, now I'm the reason that 5 other people can't dine at this restaurant. Not only do I not want to go, now I'm the person they can blame for not getting to go to the other restaurant. I'm confident I'll hear about that detail at the dinner, too.
So, now I've been assigned with finding somewhere I can eat. Ugh. Honestly, I'd like to suggest nowhere, but that's not an option.
So, does anyone have a suggestion of somewhere nice (such as a Pappa's Steakhouse kind of quality) that you've seen accommodate any sort of specific diet? Even if you don't know if they accommodate, what would you suggest? Keep in mind, anywhere outside of the Beltway would throw one of these other two in the office into a heart attack...I'm pretty sure.

Thanks for the link! I've actually been to Hugo's and DH and I both liked it
I just don't think the bosses will be impressed or think it's very 'nice.'
Thank you.
I'm considering one of the following. Any comments?
-Mark's
-Brennan's
-Truluck's
I love all of these. Brennan's would be awesome for the Banana's Foster. YUM!
I guess I'm not understanding...you didn't want to go in the first place, now they want to go to a place where you may not even be able to eat. Doesn't this mean you're off the hook?
I wish. Though reluctant, they want to choose somewhere else so that we can all attend and eat.
...or worse. NOT that I wish that upon them, but I'm just saying that there are matters much worse to deal with than a food allergy/intolerance.
