2. PF Chang's China Bistro- This chain restaurant offers a great variety of gluten free options, 28 to be exact. The GF lettuce wraps are my favorite, and their portions are large enough for two people to share. Don't be fooled when you taste the food, it tastes like it is full of gluten...and it's NOT.

1. Legal Seafoods- Although, it was a close tie for first place between PF Chang's and Legal Seafoods... Legal had to win first place for its extensive GF menu. They offer 49 gluten free items, including chowders, appetizers, seafood, and croutons. Overall the wide variety of GF items at Legal made it an easy win.
