Welcome to Restaurant Fridays - My Friday reviews of gluten free dining options in Boston, Worcester and their surrounding areas.
Wild Willy's - Worcester
I have no idea how it's taken me this long to write about Wild Willy's. I think it's because the burgers and sandwiches are so good that I usually scarf mine down before I remember to take pictures. Wild Willy's is a restaurant chain that has a several locations across New England. The owners of the Worcester location, (Bob and Jan Stein), have chosen to take gluten free to the next level.

I'm Back!
It's been just about two weeks since my last post and it feels like forever. As you may have garnered from earlier posts, my fiancee Mike and I moved back to the house he owns in Worcester due to a serious lack of reliable renters. It's been a rough ride, but we're mostly settled in thanks to us hosting Thanksgiving five days after we moved and my relentless need to unpack and organize. Starting this Tuesday I'll be returning to my usual Tuesday/ Friday posting schedule. This time with a little Worcester weaved in. Thanks for reading and enjoy!

Restaurant Fridays - Nancy Chang's (Worcester)
Welcome to Restaurant Fridays - My (mostly) weekly review of gluten free dining options in Boston, Worcester and their surrounding areas.
Nancy Chang's {Warning Site Has Music!}
You may or may not have heard this, but Mike and I are moving to Worcester from Boston, (sad face). I will still be working in Boston and I've made Mike promise to meet me there after work every other week so I can keep up with the blog and feel like I'm still part of the city.
Nancy Chang's is one of Worcester's great gluten free options. If you are jonesing Chinese food and you're in the Worcester area, stop by and check it out. Mike and I were in town painting my future office and the blood red bathroom in the downstairs of the house we'll be living in. After a day of working, Mike's [awesome] parents took us and his sister and her family out for dinner.
The group I was with, including my ravenous 1 1/2 year old nephew got the buffet and I ordered off of the gluten free menu. I went with the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which I had planned on sharing and the stir fried rice noodles with chicken, shrimp, egg and vegetables.
The lettuce wraps were good, but I think I prefer the ones from PF Chang's because I really like water chestnuts. The sauce was tasty and the veggies were crunchy. I would order these again if we went back. The chicken is chopped small, (as shown), and is in some kind of clear sauce that's pretty mild. I, of course, dumped on some hot pepper to spice it up.
When the waitress brought out the rice noodles my first thought was where is the sauce and where are the vegetables?... After having a bite I found the "sauce" or flavoring and it was pretty tasty. As for vegetables, the only vegetable in the dish was carrots, which I mostly refuse to count as a vegetable because they're starchy. This dish needs some legit chinese vegetables thrown in it like bok choy or Chinese broccoli.
All in all, this is a good place to get decent gluten free food, it just needs to have more veggies in their stir fry mixes.

Gluten Free Boston is Moving!
So, where have I been and what's in store for this blog? Over the last few weeks, my fiancee and I have been negotiating our living situation and finally came to the agreement to move. I've also started teaching a night course at a local college and it has monopolized quite a bit of my time, (in a good way). It's with great sadness that I announce that we'll be moving to Worcester at the end of November. What does that mean for this blog?
Only a little bit. I will still be working in Boston and will have a considerable amount of time of the train to and from work to potentially write more reviews and articles. Since I'll be living in Worcester, you're going to start seeing more information posted about Worcester along with the Boston posts! I've been in Boston for over seven years and am not calling it quits yet!
So, without further ado, I think I owe you all some articles!
Coming Soon...
