Chris – June 8, 2007 06:35 AM

My daughter and her boyfriends family all ate there on the 27th. The 2 women in the group both ate the slaw, and both got sick. My daughter’s boyfriends mother has been diagnosed with e coli, and my daughter is on her way to the Rowan health dept to get tested for it. Another note, we had to take her to NE Medical ER last Sunday night for the same symptoms and their diagnosis was possible gastoenteritis.
