Gluten Free Chocolate Cake for Two

Portland Loses a Great Gluten-Free Dessert Item

We went to the Portland City Grill for lunch on Christmas and imagine my shock when the dessert menu came and I found that it was missing my favorite gluten-free dessert, the Flourless Chocolate Torte with Brittle. When I was done picking my heart up off the floor, I asked our server. She confirmed that it had recently been replaced with some kind of Oreo cake. Oreo cake?!?

If you’ve never been to the Portland City Grill, it really is an excellent restaurant. While their menu can’t exactly be called “gluten friendly” they can tell you what is in every dish, so you can find out what has gluten and what doesn’t. They also have some of the best sushi in town.

I hope they reconsider!
