Thanks, Angie, for researching the upcoming Akron Rib Festival, July 2-4. Just thought I would share some info I found when emailing some of the vendors of the Akron Rib Festival for next week. I emailed all of the attendees that I could locate and only three got back to me. Carolina Rib King states their sauce is gluten free. BG’s Main Event states their sauce contains gluten. Big Boned BBQ had a great email back “Thanks for taking the time to contact us. All of our sauce and rub is gluten free and we would love to have all of you (members of the support group) visit our booth. Please come by and introduce yourself to me so I can thank you in person. See you in Akron. Pat Nelson Big Boned BBQ”

Lunch at Tommy’s last week included a g-f veggie burger on a g-f bun, fries, and a cheddar grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. Tommy’s has been taking care of me and my family with all our gluten/vegan/dairy issues for years – graciously, intelligently and with great integrity. It is so exciting to see a dedicated gluten-free menu, lots of options, and especially great food! One reason they are always busy!
Thanks, Emily, for the following review:
I have been to Tommy’s in Coventry many times before. They have always been very accommodating regarding gluten free food, though there were still limitations to their menu, and only a few options. However, when I went to eat lunch there last week, I was plesantly surprised. When I asked my server for the gluten free menu, she informed me that they now have gluten free bread and a dedicated fryer. This means that a huge portion of the menu is now safe for gluten free customers! The falafel is gluten free, as are the french fries. Almost all of the sandwiches are now able to be ordered gluten free. My waitress at Tommy’s was extremely knowledgeable and seemed excited to share the gluten free options available to me. I ordered the Ceebee sandwich (falafel, veggies, homos, sunflower seeds, cheese and sesame sauce) and french fries. It was fantastic.When my meal arrived, my french fries had a toothpick in them to distinguish them from my friend’s fries that were likely fried in the normal fryer. The waitress also made a point to tell me that she checked to make sure, and the sesame dressing was gluten free (I hadn’t asked!). I also noticed while I was there that there was gluten free granola available, as well as some gluten free cookies.
I wish other restaurants would realize what Tommy’s has- with simple modification or two (in this case gluten free bread and a dedicated fryer), it can be very easy to accommodate gluten free customers.

Worth the Gluten-free Gamble?
So, you’ve worked up an appetite at the casino and want to spend your winnings. What gluten free options are available? Don’t bother going downstairs to the buffet as they won’t accommodate you. Instead head up to the food court.
If you are in the mood for salad you are in luck. Rosie & Rocco’s will make any of their salads gluten free. Just inform the cashier that you need to have the salad made in a clean bowl.
The B Spot also has salad, as well as tomato soup, pulled pork and, of course, burgers without buns.
Alternatively, step outside to get some fresh air. And try one of the many great nearby restaurants.
See our restaurant page for suggestions.
Livwell Products at Whole Foods
Archived by Diane 8/16/2024 -> no longer available
I shopped at Whole Foods earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised to find new Livwell gluten free baked goods, imported from the U.K. The Seeded Sliced Sandwich Bread ($5.49) greatly exeeded my expectations with its wonderfully bready texture. And it tastes great, too. I am looking forward to trying the Crumpets ($4.99) stashed in my freezer. Other items are available including white sandwich bread, pita bread, scones, english muffins, rolls, and pizza crusts. According to the packaging they are made without gluten, wheat and milk and are vegetarian and a good source of fiber. These products are shelved near the instore bakery at both the Cedar Center (frozen) and Woodmere (not frozen) stores.
