If a sign reads "gluten-free," it's safe to assume that someone is either selling gluten for zero nickels or celebrating the delayed emancipation of the lone citizen in the land of Glute. Viva la evolution of eating with today's Groupon to Lilit Café in Bethesda, Maryland. Choose between the following options:

• For $20, you get $40 worth of internationally influenced fare during dinner.
• For $10, you get $20 worth of internationally influenced fare during lunch.

Lilit Café’s extensive menu hosts a mélange of internationally influenced sandwiches, pizzas, and entrees and a veritable cornucopia of vegetarian and gluten-free provender. Herbivorous mouths caper through the 12-inch gluten-free veggie pizza's field of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil ($15.99), while sea-minded folk ready forks for the café’s specialty golden crab cakes, which lounge on a bed of basmati pilaf rice ($11.99 for a single portion, $22.99 for a double). The brie melt ($7.99) tops toasted baguette slices with warm pockets of its namesake's cheese and is served, like a summons from the Law Offices of Mario and Luigi, with bruschetta and grapes ($7.99). Sliced ham and genoa salami, which previously only knew provolone through a mutual friend, cuddle together on a sub roll ($6.99) or on gluten-free bread ($7.50). The café keeps dessertophiles sated with all-natural treats from Sweet Sin Bakery, including gluten-free pecan tarts and carrot cake constructed by pastry chef Renee D'Souza and a staggering array of regular or sugar-free gelatos and sorbets. Diners or grapes that have been double-dog dared can sip 750-milliliter bottles of wine or sample the café’s array of beers and wines served by the glass.
