Since the roll out of our GF initiative, I have received some great feedback from many of our customers that have gluten allergies and some great feedback from the Costa Vida first timers. Most of the feedback has come from those with extreme sensitivity to gluten. There has been talk about contamination by the flour that is present in the air and that may be present on the griddle after cooking the tortillas. It would be impossible for us to be a gluten free restaurant, and with the presence of flour there will always be the risk of slight contamination. We are working with our staff to help ensure that areas of the kitchen that have been exposed to gluten are cleaned and sanitized before use with the gluten free items. I will kick up the intensity of training with our stores to ensure the best practices are followed. It is indeed possible to have a gluten free meal at Costa Vida. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey CostaVidans! I’ve got a couple more recipes for you all. Let me know what you think!

#1 Flank Steak Stacker

#2 Salmon with Mango Salsa

Greetings Costa Vidans,

I have received some feedback regarding my last appearance on Good Things Utah. I have even received some hate mail and death threats. What is the big deal about hot dogs and jello? Where is your patriotism? I used red and blue jello with white whipped cream.  They actually go great together and the presentation is awesome. Back yard cooks and professionals alike have been putting sweet toppings on dogs for centuries, and now I put some delicious jello on a dog and it is the end of the world. Don’t dog it until you try it. I would much rather have jello on top, rather than that nasty fake, artificially colored pickle relish. A good solution would be to come to Costa Vida and buy some sweet pork to smother all over your favorite hot dog. Keep grilling those dawgs all summer long.

Peace

I am amped about the new Gluten free options at Costa Vida. We have worked hard to create a thickener that will enhance our flavors and at the same time make our menu offering gluten free. Everything on the menu except the flour and whole wheat tortillas and the tres leches and key lime pie is now gluten free. I am stoked to be able to help those who suffer from CD and continue to enhance and improve the clean fresh flavor of Costa food.

Peace

Chef Prows in Hatch New Mexico

Check out the video of the trip to Hatch New Mexico. We found the fields that our green chilies come from and how they are processed at Bueno Foods. The fields were awesome and the aroma of green chilies was so intense. Fresh picked, fresh processed and fresh cooked for you at Costa Vida. Stay tuned for more great information and blogs

Peace
