Heart Attack Grill spokesman dies of apparent heart attack
A regular patron and unofficial spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill has died of an apparent heart attack, the restaurant's owner said on Monday.
John Alleman reportedly suffered a heart attack last week outside the Las Vegas restaurant, according to the Las Vegas Sun. The 52-year-old was taken off life support on Monday.
Alleman, who was not on the restaurant's payroll, inspired the "Patient John" character that appears on the restaurant's menu.
"He lived a very full life," Jon Basso, owner of the Heart Attack Grill, told the newspaper. "He will be missed."

(4,428 posts)This is a very strange place. It seems that they court individuals who will eat themselves into a medical episode. They get free publicity when one of their morbidly obese regulars dies, I guess. Creepy.

Pure truth in advertising. OK it might be purer truth if it read, "Eat shit and die." But it's pretty close.
