The Flying Rhino is one of my favorite “watering holes” in Worcester. I love the eclectic vibe, food, atmosphere, and come warm weather, the alfresco dining. As an individual who prides herself on eating relatively “healthy”, I am thrilled that the Flying Rhino is endorsed by WooFood.
On this Tuesday night out, I was shocked and pleasantly surprised at how busy the restaurant was. I love when establishments are crowded, especially on what most would consider a “slower” evening. Upon reading the menu, I knew almost immediately what I wanted. One of my long time favorite, go-to dishes, the Ivory Tusk. The twist for this foodies event…this usually decadent dish has received a Woo Food makeover, and is delightful. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the Ivory Tusk…essentially, it is a Philly cheesesteak made with chicken instead of steak. The traditional dish is served with your choice of homemade French fries, black beans, or broccoli slaw. The sandwich itself is a heaping portion of chicken, caramelized onions, and American cheese on a crusty baguette. Simply delicious. Once slimmed down to meet the WooFood requirements, the sandwich are now served tucked tightly inside a whole-wheat wrap with a slightly smaller portion of chicken-cheesy goodness. As a side, broccoli slaw made with crunchy broccoli florets, red onions, shaved carrots, and cranberries in a light mayonnaise…overall, the perfect companion to the sandwich. I know…you skeptics may not believe that the WooFood version of the Ivory Tusk is as good as the original, but I can promise you…it is better! -AV
