"Friedman’s was opened with celiacs in mind, with the goal of creating an entirely GF menu. At any of their six NYC locations, you can get brunch favorites like pancakes, waffles, french toast, and fried chicken, as well as sandwiches and dinner entrees that could take on their wheaty counterparts any day of the week. Leave some room for a side of mac and cheese. Most things with a ton of cheese sauce mixed in are a go, but that doesn't make us any less impressed by the rice-based version here.
