Mom Thanks Restaurant For Catering to Her Boy's Life-Threatening Food Allergies

Six-year-old Isaac was diagnosed with multiple, life-threatening food allergies at 4 months old, and his mother, Holly Garret, says eating out at a restaurant with him is impossible. However, on a recent trip to Florida, the family from Tennessee was able to witness Isaac's first-ever dining-out experience at LuLu's, a restaurant that caters to people with severe food allergies like Isaac's.

Holly, feeling grateful to the restaurant and its staff, posted to LuLu's Facebook page to express her thanks.

You are looking at a picture of a boy that has never, in his 6-and-a-half years, been able to order from a restaurant . . . He is severely allergic to tree nuts, peanuts, dairy, and eggs. We visited your restaurant a week ago today when we were on vacation in Fort Walton Beach, FL, after hearing that you maybe could accommodate him. I called and talked to the manager, Justin, and he was absolutely amazing. After explaining that there is a completely separate area for cooking the food for food-allergic people and the different items you all offered for his allergies, my whole family of 13 people drove the 30 minutes to give it a shot. We were taken care of beyond what we could have ever imagined and my sweet boy, Isaac, had a once in (his) lifetime experience. We all ate delicious food and Justin continually checked in with us and made us feel like a top priority. We danced, sang, played, and literally had a night I, as his mother, will never ever forget.

Along with her post, Holly shared a photo of Isaac smiling as he goes to take a bite of his meal, but the excitement the boy felt over being able to do something so many others take for granted spans beyond what's conveyed in this simple snap.

"On the way home from our trip, Isaac said, with certainty, the best part of his week vacation at the beach was eating at LuLu's," Holly wrote. "Thank you from the bottom of my worried mother heart for giving him this experience. Your allergy-free menu is nothing short of spectacular! We WILL be back next time!"
