One of the exciting things about FoodieBytes is how damned useful it is. When the idea was first conceived, I was struck with how much fun it could be to discover new foods or to be able to find restaurants serving whatever it might be for which I have a hankering. However, I had not really considered the ramifications of its potential benefits for those who may have dietary restrictions.
Today, I was reading an article about folks who suffer from celiac disease and need a Gluten-free diet. I wondered what FoodieBytes could do for these people – a quick search of restaurants serving gluten-free dishes revealed 4 restaurants in New York City and 4 places in Chicago.
The options are pretty varied, as well. Say, you are following a vegan diet – it would be easy to find some spots in San Francisco by using FoodieBytes. The same goes for restaurants serving say, organic pasta, in San Francisco or say, soy burgers in Boston. Awesome!
