"Only in Los Angeles would one of the city’s best bars include an entirely gluten-free menu. At Echo Park’s Thunderbolt, which has been recognized as a World’s 50 Best bar, inventive drinks can be consumed with Southern-leaning dishes like macaroni and cheese, tamari-swathed chicken drumettes, collard greens, and pimento cheese poppers. Don’t miss the gargantuan fried chicken buttermilk biscuit, in all its gluten-free glory: The sandwich is topped with mayo, lettuce, and pickled green tomatoes for a crunchy, tangy bite." - Nicole Adlman
