I stopped by the other night before going to Monkeypod for dinner. I only had time for a quick glance, but everything looked so beautiful and delicious. I hope you enjoy your chocolates.

When I asked about the chocolates, I was delighted when I was told that everything in the store was gluten-free! I bought a couple of packages of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, but have not yet indulged in them. This location in Kihei opened just last year. They said that currently they also have locations on Oahu and The Big Island, but they are planning to close both of them and concentrate on the Maui one.

I had a great time there! On Friday we went to <a href="http://coolcatcafe.com/" rel="nofollow">Cool Cat Cafe</a> in Lahaina. It turned out they have a Gluten-Free Options Menu. They could do most of their burgers as lettuce wraps. They also had five specific items mentioned, of which the most popular was the fish tacos. That is what I had - they were quite tasty! As I am a (mostly) silent celiac, if there was cross-contamination, I'm less likely to notice that. As we were around Kihei on Friday night and Saturday morning, we used your list to go to the Outback Steakhouse and the Monkeypod Kitchen. There were a few items which were naturally gluten-free at Monkeypod. They were willing to adjust others if they could. I had a scrumptious Ahi Nicoise and some of their home fries. As they have an outside terrace there, we got a great view of the ocean while we dined! Just got back from Maui. I had a great time there!

If you'd like you can always mention it to the server and request that they change out the utensils. I'd be curious to know if they do or not when I visit. Please come back and share your experience about that with us. I am very sensitive to that kind of thing, and if there was an issue with cross contamination I'm fairly certain that I would have reacted.

We really appreciate the tips about where to dine (and we're really glad there is a Whole Foods there so we can have GF food and other stuff ready when we get there). We are staying in Kaanapali so I appreciate the dining tips you put in here. My wife was concerned that -- based on your review of Star Noodle - that there might be cross contamination with their utensils, etc. I like the tip about asking (and waiting) for them to put on a new pot of water for GF noodles. Any thoughts? Hi Amanda-

Trying to keep up with blogging and social media has proven difficult even in times of less stress, so I know it is going to be even more difficult now. Be well, Amanda Thank you very much Tania.

İ have a restaurant you could add to your list. We just went to a very nice restaurant in Kapalua called Pineapple Grill. When I mentioned to the server that I must eat gluten-free, she was immediately able to tell me in detail what dishes i could have as is, and what substitutions could be made to certain other dishes to make them gluten-free.
