June 2: Gluten-free Fair
by durham, May 28, 2009 | Permalink
Living with a gluten-allergy or Celiac Disease can be frustrating and challenging. One of our team members at Whole Foods Market, Lee Tobin, is one of the many people who lives with Celiac Disease and deals with those challenges every day! While a team member in our Chapel Hill store, Lee began experimenting with Gluten-free baking on his time, developing recipes that revaled conventional goods in flavor and texture! Lee’s committment to creating high quality gluten free products that also met the Whole Foods Market Quality Standards is the reason that the Whole Foods Market Gluten Free Bakehouse came to be OCtober of 2004.
We are proud to offer many items from the Gluten Free Bakehouse in our store here in Durham, and are thrilled to welcome Lee’s team here next Tuesday, June 2 from 3:00 - 6:00 to demo some of their products and answer any questions our customers may have about the Gluten Free Bakehouse!
And they won’t be alone in their gluten-free demoing! We’re turning their appearance into a Gluten-Free Fair, featuring 6 other demos of wonderful gluten-free goodies. So, join us from 3:00 - 6:00 next Tuesday and leave feeling like your choices aren’t quite so limited when shopping for gluten-free items!

It was All About Beer! Local Beer… and local food!

Our 2nd Bi-Annual Local Dinner was a huge success! In the 1st event last fall, we featured local wine with each local food course. This time, we featured local beer! We were honored to have Julie Johnson as our special guest host from All About Beer Magazine to guide us through each beer selection. She was an excellent presenter and everyone enjoyed her humor as well as her knowledge!
Our Head Chef, Bobby, prepared Local Strawberry Flambe on the dining room floor, which then topped local Maple View Dairy Ice Cream! It was a spectacular show to have fire on the floor!
Other local items on the menu included blue-deviled eggs, Sandy Creek Goat Cheese, mild Italian sausage, tenderloin, Poulet Rouge, and local catfish. We’re looking forward to our next Local Dinner in the fall. Watch our website for dates; it will likely be in early October and we would LOVE to wow you with our next spectacular show of local food and drink!
