"Qualcomm just opened a Gluten-Free Zone cart this football season. We sell hot-dogs with gluten-free buns, gluten free cookies (chocolate chip and snicker doodle), Gluten-Free beer (Redbridge), Gluten free potato chips and candy, soda, water, and coffee. Its a really limited menu but I'm sure it will be extended if we get enough customers and requests.

You can find us at the Plaza (ground) level just outside of section 8 across from Gate C, Flip Side Grill, and to the left of Rona & Ritas Nachos & More."
Leslie, Qualcomm employee at the GF Zone cart.
