Worcester , Ma Gluten Free Restaurants: Another Addition


converge

Recommended Posts

converge Apprentice

I recently discovered two additional gluten-free restaurants in Worcester, MA in addition to the ones I knew about- The Boynton, On The Rise Bakery, and Nancy Changs (chinese).

The first is Wild Willies, right off I-190/ I-290. Its a VERY reasonably priced burger joint, featuring mostly burgers and some other assorted stuff. First off, the staff is VERY knowledgeable about gluten- They have a dedicated fryer for french fries (which are delicious and perfectly cooked), and are all trained on what is and isn't OK for us. They have their own home-made gluten-free buns for the bugers, which include beef, bison, and other meats. I usually get the "Bubba" which is barbecue sauce, bacon, onions, and cheese. They also have some desserts, and a "grab you own" pickle barrel @ a quarter a pickle. Service is pleasant, prices are pretty low ($6-8 per burger and $2-4 for fries), and the food has consistently been good. The owner told me they're working on a formulation for gluten-free onion ring batter, it will be on the menu soon.

Second is Evo's, which is on Chandler and Park St. Its a new style american type place, with "healthier" offerings but very reasonable prices. I should mention I HAVE NOT EATING THERE YET, so I can't attest to service or quality... I plan to go there soon and I'll reply to this thread with a review. Some menu offerings:

Appetizers: Vveggie quesadillas, Spinach Dip, Middle Eastern Platter

Salads: House, Caprese, Asian, Avocado Tuscan

Dressings: Sano, Ranch, Italian, Ginger Wasabi, Oil & Vinegar

Burgers: Bison, Kobe, Grilled Chicken

Various wraps

Entrees: NY Strip Steak, Seared Yellow Fin Tuna, Asian Stirfry, Tuscan Mahi-Mahi

Sides: Mashed Potatos, Red Potatos,

PIZZA: Gluten Free 12" sauce and Cheese, various toppings (Starts at $8, NO gluten-free SURCHARGE!!!)

Desserts: Creme Brulee, Sorbet, Choc Mousse

Anyway, I'll report back on Evo's.

Thank you very much for posting this! I live close to Worcester and am a fan of Boynton's. I had heard of Wild Willies but haven't eaten there yet. However, now that I know they are working on gluten-free onion rings, I will make a point of checking them out! :D

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
