My family went out to dinner at Applebees. I searched online to see if I could eat anything there, but found horrible reviews about the restaurant catering to Celiacs and all the cross contamination. So, instead, I stayed home and ordered curbside pickup from Outback. My first time
ordering Gluten-free from them.
I would have taken a picture, but I dived into the food too quick.
I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger without the bun, a stuffed baked potato - the sour creme, cheese, chives, and bacon came separately on the side, and the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under for dessert - which is Gluten free. The brownie is made without flour. I made sure to tell them I had Celiac Disease so they would understand my order.
I looked very closely at the cheeseburger to see if there were any crumbs (accidentally putting it on a bun and then taking it off again) but there were no signs of contamination. The baked potato was wrapped by itself in aluminum foil and still very hot. They did give me a loaf of their brown bread in a separate bag which I can't eat - but my family will love that. The cheeseburger was DELICIOUS! So very tender, moist, flavorful. That was probably the best burger I have ever had. The potato was also very good, but I was full after eating half of it and can't swallow another bite.
The Chocolate Thunder from Down Under was pretty good, although the brownie was very nutty and I'm not a big fan of nuts in my brownies - I have trouble digesting nuts, so I did not eat more than few small bites.

The Outback Steakhouse is by far the best steakhouse in Hagerstown, MD. The quality of meat is always extremely high, better than anywhere I have eaten in any country.
