Food Poisoning from Restaurant Near N.O.C.

Thru-hiker Vinona Christensen -- in an article by William Fouts appearing in the Noblesville (IN) Daily Times on 25 April 2007 and titled "Woman Conquers More Adversity Along Appalachian Trail; Local hiker overcomes food poisoning to continue journey" -- reports having severe food poisoning while overnighting at the Nantahala Outdoor Center on 12 April.
"'I wound up camped out on the bathroom floor, because I couldn’t even make it back to my room,' Christensen reports.

"Several hikers succumbed to illness after a meal in a local restaurant. Christensen says there has scarcely been a day on her trip where she hasn’t thought of calling it quits."
Sorry, but the name of the apparently-offending restaurant is not given in the article.
