And the winner of the MetroCooking Dallas Giveaway is….

Ah! The moment you’ve been waiting for! Thank you to all you readers who entered the MetroCooking Dallas Giveaway! IttyBittyFoodies loved reading all your kid foodie restaurant favorites. Thank you for sharing our blog on your facebook too! We are pleased to announce that our winner is Katherine Johnson! You’ve won two prize tickets to MetroCooking Dallas! Katherine’s kids eat gluten-free and here are some family favorites she shared with us! Congratulations!

My kids eat gluten-free so eating out is a little bit more limited for them. Nonetheless, we love these local child-friendly spots: Rafa’s (Tex-Mex very casual on Lovers Lane near the Tollway); Shinsei (great sushi for three of us and my son who doesn’t yet appreciate sushi loves their salmon, fried rice, edamame, chicken skewers. We always get a great meal there and they are nice to the kids too!; at Toulouse on Knox we love sitting on the patio with the kids for steak and frites. Souffles are delicieux!; Finally, at Company Cafe (on Routh near Katy Trail) offers a gluten-free menu, great outdoor seating at picnic tables and the kids can play with their chalkboard or run around on the Katy Trail while we eat and converse.

If you didn’t win, you can still buy tickets at MetroCooking Dallas. Don’t forget to Like us on Facebook to keep up with the latest kid-friendly restaurant reviews, foodies products, recipes, travel destinations, other cool stuff we love & fun giveaways!

Till our next happy meal!
