Shula's Steak 2 server saves life

Gabriela Blanca Jorge, a veteran server at Shula’s Steak 2 restaurant on Main Street, rushed into action on June 13 to help save a life. During lunch, one of the guests dashed into the service station apparently choking and in distress. Jorge was the first to see her in a frantic state, eyes bulging and turning blue. She recognized what was happening and immediately went behind her to apply the Heimlich maneuver. The first two attempts were unsuccessful but on the third thrust, the food was dislodged and evacuated. The guest recovered and stayed a little longer to thank Jorge for her quick thinking and life-saving training.
