Om Nom Nation

Are you sick of the same old chain restaurants and searching for somewhere unique to eat while traveling? Do you have an allergy, intolerance or specific dietary restriction? Or maybe you want to support local restaurants that take pride in serving the freshest, home-grown ingredients? If you answered yes to any of the previous questions, then this is the place for you!

Om Nom Nation is a resource to share favorite restaurants, must-try menu items and even a few restaurant reviews. In the future, I plan to highlight popular dishes, dietary accommodations and atmosphere at each location I've visited. If you have a spot you think should be added to the list, please feel free to let me know! One day, I hope to grow this list into a great resource for anyone traveling around North America looking for a place to eat - with a specific focus for those following the Paleo diet or who have gluten and dairy sensitivities.
