My 2 year old daughter (who is allergic to egg, milk, and sesame) had an anaphylactic reaction requiring her epipen to a contaminated hot dog. Despite my notifying the server and her supposed review with the cooks on what was safe, she was still served a hot dog that we later found out was prepared in butter flavored oil. Thankfully she is just fine and we returned a week later to share with the manager many materials on food allergy awareness and safety. We will no longer trust a restaurant's judment on foods for her, unless something drastically changes with legislative movement to offer more reliable safety for our allergic children!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
