Wednesday night I headed to Nationals Stadium for a great American pasttime - baseball! What's not a great American pasttime is gluten-free vegan eating...so what the hell was I to do at the game? I thought about bringing my own snacks, getting a cocktail at the stadium bar instead of beer, and maybe getting fries. I researched what vendors the stadium had before going and luckily they list vegetarian options! What a progressive field (...hey Indians fans, did you catch that??). On my way to the veggie stations I passed--could it be true--a GLUTEN FREE stand! It had gluten free beer, hard cider, gluten free hotdog buns (even though I obvy wasn't getting a hotdog), gluten free chips and snacks galore! I couldn't believe it. My all-American baseball experience wouldn't be without dietary-friendly tastiness after all! In a debate between the Redbridge beer made from sorghum and Angry Orchard's hard cider, I went for the hard cider. That was a lil mistake! Having kicked most sugar, hard cider is just too sweet for me. What I really wanted was a beer! Next time... For food, I headed to the Ben's Chili Bowl stand for an order of fries topped with veggie chili, hold the cheese! It was really delicious and filling. But I realized the next day that *SHOOT* the veggie chili might have been made with a gluten-filled mock meat, but oh well (I'll have to start my gluten-free trial over again). I did my best and was very satisfied with the options at the stadium.
