Rosie’s Plate
A few years ago, when we could not easily find packaged gluten free items in stores, and absolutely no restaurants, Rosie’s Plate quietly opened in Downtown Raleigh in an old gas station on N. Person Street, right down from Krispy Kreme. At the time, I worked in Downtown, so I could conveniently stop by and pick up some things to take home. I remember that first gluten free meal I took home, chicken nuggets that tasted just like other restaurants and some fantastic cupcakes.
Since then, some other gluten free restaurants have come, some have gone, but Rosie’s continued to support the Celiac community, along with other food allergies (shellfish and peanuts) with an ever changing menu, new locations (Duke’s East and West campuses), and expanding to include food classes.
Tally from Rosie’s Plate recently visited our Cel-Kids event at Earth Fare and brought some new treats. The kids all liked the chocolate star cookies (adults too!), and the adults especially liked the other treats. She shared with us they want to offer cooking classes for kids in the upcoming future. Definitely a great idea, as I know many of the kids in this group would appreciate that!
If you never visited Rosie’s, definitely check out their website and see the huge selection of gluten free meals, cakes, treats, and much more. You can have it delivered (limited delivery area) or pick it up in person. Definitely a pillar in the Raleigh area Celiac scene!
