Gluten Free Chapel Hill: Kanki Japanese House of Steaks

Kanki Japanese House of Steaks

I e-mailed Kanki a couple of weeks ago and got this in response:

Yes, we are able to accommodate guests with gluten intolerance. The chefs can prepare the meal without the use of regular soy. If you bring an unopened bottle of gluten free soy, we will happily cook the meal separately (prepared in the kitchen to avoid cross over); also, if your group fills a table (8 or more) and they do not mind the use of the gluten free soy, we can cook the entire meal at the teppan table.

I will definitely check out Kanki soon. It's always nice to have another restaurant with gluten free options. The Durham location (down 15-501 from Chapel Hill) is: 3504 Mt. Moriah Road.

Other locations include:

Crabtree Valley Mall (Lower Level)
4325 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC 27612

North Market Square
4500 Old Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609

Celiac Disease by the Numbers

1 out of every 133 Americans (about 3 million people) has CD.
97% of Americans estimated to have CD are not diagnosed.
CD has over 300 known symptoms although some people experience none.
Age of diagnosis is key: If you are diagnosed between age 2-4, your chance of getting an additional autoimmune disorder is 10.5%. Over the age of 20, that rockets up to 34%.
30% of the US population is estimated to have the genes necessary for CD.
2.5 babies are born every minute in the USA with the genetic makeup to have CD.
There are 15 states in the US with populations less than the total number of Celiacs in the US.
CD affects more people in the US than Crohn’s Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease combined.
People with CD dine out 80% less than they used to before diagnosis and believe less than 10% of eating establishments have a 'very good' or 'good' understanding of GF diets.
It takes an average of 11 years for patients to be properly diagnosed with CD even though a simple blood test exists.
The US Department of Agriculture projects that the GF industries revenues will reach $1.7 Billion by 2010.
GF foods are, on average, 242% more expensive then their non-GF counterparts.
The Food Allergen Labeling & Consumer Protection Act became law in 2006 allowing for easier reading of food labels for those with CD. What took so long?
12% of people in the US who have Down Syndrome also have CD.
6% of people in the US who have Type 1 Diabetes also have CD.
Among people who have a first-degree relative diagnosed with celiac, as many as 1 in 22 people may have the disease.
