Hi, I’m Alexxis Sanchez, a restaurant manager, gluten-free foodie, and celiac advocate on a mission to bring something San Diego desperately needs: a 100% gluten-free, full-service restaurant that’s safe, inclusive, and delicious.

After living with celiac disease, I know how difficult — and sometimes scary — it can be to eat out. Cross-contamination risks are everywhere. Options are limited. And it feels like an afterthought at most places.

That’s why I am so passionate about bringing an award-winning, dedicated gluten-free restaurant to San Diego — a city where over 10,000 people are living with celiac (and many more are gluten-sensitive or choosing gluten-free lifestyles).

I’m already in conversations with industry partners and professionals, and I’m building the foundation right now. But to bring this vision to life, I need help from the people who believe in this as much as I do.

If you’ve ever:

* Had to bring your own food to a restaurant

* Felt anxious every time you asked a server if something was truly gluten-free

* Wanted your gluten-free friend or family member to experience normal birthday meals

* Or just love inclusive, high-quality food made with care…

Then I hope you’ll support this project — even a small donation makes a huge difference.

Whether you donate, share this campaign, or simply send support — I’m deeply grateful. I believe in this concept, I believe in this community, and I believe we’re going to make something truly special.

Thank you for helping build it with me.

With so much gratitude,

Alexxis
