Friesenburgers - Anyone Tried This Restaurant?

An advertisement for Friesenburgers Restaurant appeared at the bottom of this site for me (the "smart" forum knows that I'm near Seattle, I guess). They advertise gluten free burgers with tapica buns (maybe Ener-G) and safe eating. I don't get to Tacoma very often but have wished for a real burger (like I used to get at Kidd Valley or Dick's)...having one at home with a bun that I make is OK but I miss the burger experience. Not too keen on tapica buns but willing to give it a try.

Anyone tried this place? It's right by the Tacoma Dome.

It sounds like they understand gluten-free safety. Here's a quote from their site: "We take measures to prevent cross contamination. Such as grill zoning and separate fryer for cooking fries only. Because we still serve wheat products as well. There is a chance of some cross contamination."

Okay dangit! I went to your link and now am hungry for a burger! I'm in Bothell, so that's a bit far for me. I'm having dinner at Mongo's in Clearview.

I always get the burger with no bun and no cheese. No gluten issues for me, but I can't have egg or dairy. The buns might actually be safe for me. Never checked. I do have diabetes though so have to watch the carbs. I do eat the fries, so adding a bun would be carb overload.

Daughter always gets the chicken teriyaki. I had been ordering the burger with no bun for her. The lady at the counter asked if she had celiac? She doesn't. Used to have a gluten allergy, but has outgrown it. Is still allergic to wheat though so pretty much still eats a gluten-free diet. Anyway... They have gluten-free soy sauce. Teriyaki used to be one of her favorite foods and I never thought she would eat it again. I should add she also had a soy allergy but outgrew that as well. Otherwise that would still be out of the question.

If you're ever out this way, I highly recommend this place. The food is out of this world! Best burger I ever had, even without the bun.

Hmm...We just drove through Clearview to get hay last weekend. Would never have known about Mondo's.

Well, I don't get to Tacoma very often, except when travelling south or on business, but next time I do, I'm going to stop and get a bacon cheeseburger- off my diet for sure!

OK, I was in Tacoma last week for business and stopped at Friesenburgers and it was great. It's right off the exit right before you get to the Tacoma Dome and six blocks from downtown, so it's very convenient.

I had the gluten-free mini-Friesenburger with bacon and cheese...it was HUGE! They also put an egg on it, which was OK but I'll leave that off the next time. The bun was soft and fresh.

They have a dedicated frier, so I stopped and got french fries for the drive back to Seattle. They were ok, not salted so kinda bland even with their "special" dipping sauce and sprinkled salt.

I guess I'll be stopping in anytime I drive by Tacoma!

      Pear Bread

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make.

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
