Why "Gluten-Friendly" Isn't Enough for Celiac Guests
Most caterers offer "gluten-free options" — but prepare them in shared kitchens with shared fryers and shared utensils. For guests with Celiac disease, this creates serious cross-contact risk. The only truly safe option is a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. That's what we are.
Our Celiac Safety Practices
Every practice below is standard operating procedure — not a special accommodation. This is how we operate for every event, every time.
Dedicated Gluten-Free Kitchen
Our entire kitchen has never seen a gram of wheat, barley, or rye. We are not "gluten-friendly" — we are 100% dedicated gluten-free. There is no risk of cross-contamination from shared equipment or surfaces.
Dedicated Fryers — Never Shared
Our fryers have never been used to cook anything containing gluten. We fry exclusively in grass-fed beef tallow. For Celiac guests, this is the single most important safety factor in fried food preparation.
No Gluten Ingredients On Premises
We don't bring gluten-containing ingredients onto our premises at all. This eliminates the risk of accidental contamination from ingredient handling, storage, or preparation errors.
Staff Training & Protocols
Our entire team is trained on Celiac disease, cross-contact risks, and safe food handling protocols. We take every dietary restriction seriously — not as an inconvenience, but as a responsibility.
Seed Oil Free — Tallow Only
We fry exclusively in grass-fed beef tallow. No canola, soybean, corn, or vegetable oils. This matters for guests with additional sensitivities beyond gluten.
Dairy-Free, Corn-Free, Soy-Free Options
Most of our menu is also free from dairy, corn, and soy — making us one of the most allergen-friendly catering options in Utah for guests with multiple food sensitivities.
