VIDEO: Meal Ticket at Appetite for Awareness

Team Meal Ticket dropped by the Wachovia Center this past Wednesday to check out Appetite for Awareness: A Gluten-Free Cooking Spree. Organized by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) and sponsored by Thomas Jefferson, the evening featured a slew of local chefs preparing dishes designed specifically for those with celiac disease � one in 133 Americans cannot consume gluten, the protein inherent in wheat, barley and rye products. The purpose of the evening, aside from raising awareness about the disease, was to highlight the fact that local restaurants are ready, willing and able to accommodate celiac diners.

Above, check out our chats with Matthew Levin from Rubb, Marcie Turney from Bindi and Lolita, Eric Paraskevas from terra and Keith M. Taylor from Holy Smoke.

Huge thanks to our very own Neal Santos for the video.
