A Las Vegas man who became the unofficial spokesman for downtown’s Heart Attack Grill by dint of the fact that he came to the restaurant daily will die shortly from a heart attack, the restaurant’s owner said late Friday. “The customers just loved him,” said owner Jon Basso. John Alleman, 52, is currently on life support in a local hospital. Basso said Alleman lived with his only family, his brother, Paul, near Fremont Street and Maryland Parkway.

This looked more like an advertisement.

They won't.
Food is addicting. RIP ... fat people are generally nice people. Stop being mean to fat people and needling about their weight and eating will just cause them to build anxiety and eat more.
or maybe we should ban burgers...burger control only one patty
Joe, stop the madness! Basso close this death trap. City of Las Vegas and Clark County Health Dept. where are you? Close this deadly restaurant!!!
