Global Eating Guide to Several Different Diets, ResearchBuzz (Nov 12)
"Special Gourmets at http://www.specialgourmets.com/. This site lets you map hotels, restaurants and other destinations that accomodate several different diets: gluten-free, dairy-free, nut/peanut-free, shellfish-free, egg-free, and soy-free."
This is a "community-driven restaurant and hotel guide", says the founder, Dr. Cynthia Schuck-Paim, to make eating and travelling easier for people with celiac disease and other alergies.
Users in Canada have contributed. Easiest method that I have found is to use the List Guide and use the dropdown selection boxes to choose Canada - province (called a state) - city.
This site also has a magazine, recipes, and resources with advice on eating out and chef cards to print out.
The navigation on this site needs a little work - the blog and magazine takes you out of the SpecialGourmets frame - and you may have to backtrack a bit.
SpecialGourmets was developed by "Origem Scientifica, a scientific consultancy company specializing on health research and data analysis" based in Brazil. The two members of the Special Gourmets team have degrees from Oxford University, UK.
