    Unfortunately my daughter was hospitalized back in March with h pylori, she is only 8 and was put on an extremely restricted diet to give her stomach time to heal. Emmanuel the chef came out to talk to us. He was absolutely amazing and made a beef patty for my daughter that she liked. She had one earlier in the park but couldn't eat it since she said it was too spicy for her. We really appreciate Emmanuel for caring for my daughter so well. Thank you!
