It's late and my pillow is calling me. So is Dancing With the Stars on Tivo...went back to work today, teacher's workday...no kids, lots accomplished. Then, went to a mall about 20 mins. from home to handle a return. I took my daughter with me and we shopped...what else is new?
Hungry for food and contemplating the task of explaining myself at the restaurant, my daughter convinced me to try. A restaurant called STIR CRAZY is located in the mall. As the name states, it's like a salad bar with fresh veggies. At the end of the bar are sauces and very, very hot woks (behind a glass). The men behind the glass take your bowl, toss and "stir," add noodles or rice with the sauce of our choice and voila, dinner is served!
Okay so here I go again..."I have a disease that causes me to get sick if I eat certain foods." blah, blah, blah! This time though, I was pleasantly surprised when the waiter, who was so cute and young (oh well), knew exactly what I was talking about. He stated that the chef made up a classic chinese or teriyaki gluten free sauce that he would bring to the end of that "salad bar-like" line when I got there. He must've been watching carefully because as soon as I got to the glass with the cooks he appeared with my gluten free teriyaki sauce. WOW! That's service and oh, was he cute!
With some edamame, brown rice, and a variety of veggies and chicken (unmarinated of course) I was in STIR CRAZY heaven. They are located in six states. I just had to share my find with you! Next time you have a YEN for asian stir fry, don't go STIR CRAZY, just look for one!

Stir Crazy is great; your title to this post had me thinking you had a bad experience this (as in, don't go to Stir Crazy). I especially like their stir fries with the wide rice noodles. At my local Stir Crazy, I asked them to use the gf classic Chinese sauce in their famous chicken lettuce cups/wraps, which they hadn't thought of but were happy to create.
Dear Anonymous,
That is a fabulous idea. Other than P.F. Changs, I cannot order lettuce wraps. Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried Stir Crazy's Pad Thai before becoming absolutely gluten free (cheated for years) but now, I'm leary of the ingredients. I wonder if they'd create the Pad Thai for me. One of the local Japanese restaurants said they would make me stir fry if I brought my gf tamari. I think if we start asking, restaurants will be glad to oblige. take care....
Wow, gotta try them out!
