Also very convenient for private & personal chefs, and dietitians in need of specialty supplies/ingredients that can sometimes be hard to find at most grocery stores.

This Google Maps mashup is for those with dietary restrictions, such as celiac disease, autism and food allergies. The site shows the locations of restaurants, shops and hotels with gluten free, dairy-free and food allergen free options. The map currently holds over 15,000 restaurants and shops all over the world and the site is available in three languages (English, Portuguese and Spanish).  It is possible to search the mapped retailers by dietary requirement (Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Peanut, Nut-free, Shellfish free, Egg-free and Soy-free). It is also possible to search the map by type of establishment (restaurant, shop or hotel). [Google Maps Mania]
