regardless of my creepiness... I found one restaurant/pub that serves gluten-free food and even a place in Disneyland.
I'll just do a little list for your info. If anyone knows of any others (aside from Outback Steakhouse and PF Changs) let me know!
Orange County GF Eateries
1. Skosh Monahans- This is a restaurant by day and pub by night. The owner's child was diagnosed with autism in 2002 and is on a gluten-free diet. They offer a great gluten/casein free menu for kids and adults alike, including pizza.

2. Z' Tejas- This is a small chain, but I had no idea it offered a GF menu. The menu is basically TexMex and being from Texas...I know good TexMex. Funny thing is I've always liked Z' Tejas and it's nice to know they offer a GF menu. The menu can be found on their website. ztejas.com
(714) 979-7469 Location: Costa Mesa @ South Cost Plaza
3. Storyteller's Cafe- Located at Disneyland's Grand California Hotel, this is the perfect place if you are on a vacation at the Happiest Place on earth (aside from Disneyworld...and Eurodisney, of course). They offer gluten-free items such as pizza, hamburger buns (finally a hamburger non-protein style!), and apparently GF breakfast items as well.
714-781-3463 Location:Disneyland i.e. Anahiem
This next one i'm not sure about, but a friend told me they offer gluten-free items along with Vegan items.
4. Native Foods- It's pretty much a vegan restaurant. All natural. GF and Vegan often go hand in hand.

I have yet to actually try any of these places. I'm poor. I have no car. I pretty much eat chicken and vegetables with hummus every day. What do you want from me! I'll have a car/kitchen/money soon. Ok I lie, I'll never have money. Eventually I'll test these places out and give relay my utterly brilliant culinary critic. It seems to me that Costa Mesa is on the ball in regards to their GF restaurants. The rest of Orange County is kind of failing. FAILING Orange County, hear that??
