There’s a new restaurant in town!  Well, in St Petersburg actually.  And it’s 100% Gluten-Free so I just had to try it.  I had heard it was one of those ‘bowl’ places so I didn’t honestly have any great expectations.  Boy was I pleasantly surprised! 

Absolutely everything on the menu is Gluten-Free!  And dairy free – there’re only one item with dairy.  And sugar free – there’s only one item with sugar!  Do they know anything about Celiac Disease or Gluten Intolerance…probably not.  Do they care about Celiac Disease or Gluten Intolerance…probably not.  Does it matter…probably not since everything is naturally Gluten-Free so there’s little chance of Cross-Contamination.

But they do care about serving fresh, clean, REAL food fast!  At Fresh Kitchen all the ingredients are garden-fresh, which is a good thing, considering the name.  All meats are antibiotic and hormone free.  The cold-pressed juices and dressings are made in-house daily. FK takes its mission seriously.  Apparently the staff does as well as they all work wearing T-Shirts that proclaim loudly…Give a FK…on the back. 

The concept has four simple steps: 

Choose your Base;   WARM – Brown Rice, Sweet Potato Mash, Chef’s Base, Perfect Spice Rice.  CHILLED – Summer Salad, Kale Slaw, Sweet Potato Noodles, Vegetable Quinoa 

Pick your Proteins; Grilled Chicken, Chia Seed Teriyaki Tofu, Baked Almond Chicken, BBQ Chicken (Sugar), or you can add Grilled Steak or Tuna Poke for a slight Up-Charge 

Add some Veggies;  Parmesan Broccoli (Dairy) Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Mushrooms, Buffalo Cauliflower (Nuts) or Local Seasonal Veggies

Top it with Sauce;    Creamy White Ginger, Coconut Sriracha, Herb Balsamic Vinaigrette, Cucumber Jalapeno, Holy Kale (Nuts) 

I played it safe my first visit…Brown Rice, BBQ Chicken, Roasted Mushrooms and Creamy White Ginger Sauce. It was delicious!  I LOVED the White Ginger Sauce. And the BBQ Chicken was wonderful.  I'm looking forward to going again :-)
