Mendon Twin Drive-in

This past weekend we saw a double feature at the Mendon Twin Drive-in.

This has become an annual tradition. Every summer we head over to Mendon and have fun at the drive in. It certainly puts a different twist on going to the movies.

Gluten Free Options

Unfortunately the Mendon Drive-in has no Gluten free meal options in the snack bar. They have cheese burgers and fried foods. I didn't bother asking if they had a dedicated fryer for their french fries as I am sure they don't - it appears to be a small kitchen.

The only safe options are Popcorn and ice cream.

We ended up cooking up some frozen Gluten free pizza and bringing some gluten free snacks.

Smores

Did you know that you can make Smores at the Mendon Twin Drive In? When you arrive, go over to the Beer Garden to make some smores before the movie starts.

You have to buy a smores kit and it cost $6.42 for the kit. You get two Wooden sticks and Marshmallows, a Hershey Bar and Gram Crackers enough to make 4 Smores sandwiches.

Unfortunately the Marshmallows and gram crackers are in the same bag. This doesn't make it safe for Celiacs.

Tip

If you ask for extra Marshmallows, you will get about six more in a separate cup that you can use for toasting.

Perfect! Now everyone can enjoy roasting marshmallows before the movie.

Fun Evening

Ya. $6.42 is a bit expensive for roasting marshmallows but it keeps the kids busy and makes it a fun summertime night treat.

Going to the Mendon Twin Drive-in is a fun way to entertain company.

 

About

This series of posts will cover some tips and tricks that I have learned about my twelve-year-old daughter's gluten-free lifestyle in the Boston area. Gluten-free eating can be challenging in any big city, but especially in Boston due to the high number of restaurants and availability of options. I've been learning what I can to make sure my daughter can still enjoy eating out, and I want to share what I've learned so that other families in the same situation can benefit.
