Where are some good places nation wide to eat as a gluten free vegan?
It's tough to be gluten free AND vegan but "health food" or Asian restaurants are good. Just avoid tempura, egg rolls, wontons, and wheat noodles. Vegan sushi, or rice/veggie/tofu combos are often gluten free. Sometimes Mexican food (I typically order veggie tacos w/corn tortillas) will do; Indian food if you avoid bread can also work (ask server about ingredients as dairy is often in Indian food). Salad bars give you some vegan/gluten free options, and even the most carnivorous restaurants often have potatoes/salad (I know, where's the protein?) as "side dishes".
