Any really bad travel experiences being gluten-free?

Are there any places you have had bad experiences with while traveling and think we should avoid?

    Just about every trip I come across a place (or a person working at that place) who thinks they know what your talking about.

    This small Steak house: I called ahead worked with the cook and owner. I was pretty confident I was going to get a clean meal. Everything went great, the wait staff person was headed to nursing school and had just finished reading about Celia disease...but, on the way out the owner stopped me. He asked if my steak had breaded onion rings on it? I said no, it was clean. The server (who just read about celiacs and was headed to nursing school) said "no silly, I took them off before I took his plate out to him." Meaning they had been on my steak! I couldn't do anything but laugh. SO close.

    The worst experience I had was in Las Vegas last year.  I ordered a cobb salad.  It looked fine, but with in a half hour the stomach pains started.  The salad had crumbled blue cheese on it-which I didn't know at the time can be glutened.  Most of my day was spent in the hotel bathroom.  I was down for about 7 hours. My bones ached, I had chills and diarrhea.  It felt like I had a horrible flu.  I was so weak and dehydrated.  It is one day I will never forget.   The only good thing that came out of this is that my Mom, Aunts, and Sister take this disease very seriously now (after seeing me cry in such pain).  This year my Mom and Aunt have found some restaurants with GF menus for me in Vegas.--PF Changs and Maggianos- I heard  PF Changs has some good lettuce wraps. Yum!

    New Orleans was really really hard - I was there on a business trip, and could barely eat. Everything had a roux, which has flour in it! I also tried to look online for a restaurant guide - nothing. grrrrrr. Thank goodness I live in San Diego - it's so easy to eat here.
