Best Restaurants for Eating Gluten-Free in the Portland, Maine Area

It's been nearly five months since I've gone gluten-free, and my friends and family sort-of hate it. That's because I have to be picky about where I eat out now, making sure that wherever we go is going to have something I can and want to eat. Most places do have options, but usually it's pretty limited. Luckily for you, I've put together a list of my favorite places to go when eating out in the Portland area.
