I first posted an article about how Subway could safely create a gluten-free option back in August of 2010 — little did I know they already had something in development. I also posted a news story on from CNN on Facebook about it at the beginning of this year and the passionate comments that came back were overwhelming. Everything from “hooray” to “hell no” and everything in between.  The obvious (and legitimate) concern that most folks had was regarding cross-contamination, but I’m sure Subway will spend a fair amount of time talking about the precautions they take. Other concerns were more generalized and were more about the nutritional value of food coming from a fast f0od chain. Again, a valid concern — but, truth be told — many people will eat fast food no matter what. That in itself should be reason enough that we all hope they get it right. Currently, Subway is testing its gluten-free sandwich in select Texas markets, but they will be expanding nationwide very soon. When that happens, it is sure to be a big deal.

While I don’t live in Texas and haven’t been able to personally try this sandwich, Alta Mantsch of Tasty Eats at Home does and she has written about an experience that her brother recently had at a North Texas Subway. Below is an excerpt from Alta, bee sure to click through to her original post to read the entire review.
