Wilson GF July Updates

  • Mellow Mushroom (which serves gluten free pizza) has a restaurant scheduled opening in Fall 2011 in Greenville NC! YAY! :-)  Thanks for the tip Heather!
  • Another great restaurant I enjoy in Greenville is Five Guys Burgers & Fries. The fries are made in a dedicated fryer & the burgers are gluten free (sans the bun of course).  They do have peanuts available throughout the store for everyone to enjoy, so if you have a peanut allergy this is not the place for you to go! 
  • Margaret Highsmith, a Greenville resident has opened a gluten free cake bakery out of her home in Greenville and she will deliver to Wilson. Her specialty is gluten free special occasion cakes and the bakery is called Gluten Free Dream Cakes (www.glutenfreedreamcakes.com) You can contact her by email: glutenfreedreamcakes@gmail.com or phone: 252-917-2966
  • Hibachi 101, located in Heritage Crossing in Wilson across from Harris Teeter is a quick Japanese grill and I have been able to eat there safely several times. I order the hibachi chicken or steak, I make it clear when ordering that the staff needs to clean the grill and that they do not use ANY sauces on my meat or vegetables. I order this with white rice and I haven't gotten sick. If you miss Japanese, this might be a good option to try! :-) 
Upcoming Gluten Free Coffee Breaks: 
  • Tuesday July 19th, 7-8pm Wilson Target Starbucks
  • Tuesday August 2nd, 7-8pm Wilson CHICK FIL A 
  • Tuesday August 16th - CANCELLED

Upcoming Gluten Free Monthly Meetings: 
  • Saturday August 13th -- location & time pending -- I'm hoping to plan this at a local Wilson restaurant that can meet our gluten free dietary needs. If you have a suggestion, please let me know!
  • Saturday September 27th - Winstead UMC 3-5pm
