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

      I had bariatric surgery in 2018. My doctor put me on multiple vitamins, D3, and calcium (in the form of 2 Tums daily). My endocrinologist monitors my levels of these things, as well as my diabetes and Hashimoto's.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
