Chow / News "Spokesman for Las Vegas Heart Attack Grill which serves 'taste worth dying for' dies of a heart attack aged 52"

Posted by on Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 12:11 PM

Don't be too sad. It seems everybody saw this bus coming:

John Alleman visited the infamous restaurant, which holds the Guinness world record for the 'most calorific burger', on a daily basis and would often stand outside encouraging other people to enter.

He suffered a heart attack last week and was rushed to Sunrise Hospital, where he remained until doctors removed his life support on Monday.

The owner of the hospital-themed restaurant, 'Doctor Jon' Basso told the Las Vegas Sun: 'I told him if you keep eating like this, it's going to kill ya.

'He'd say, "I just love your place, Jon." He's the only person I know who was probably at the restaurant more than I.'

Which reminds me, I owe Anna Minard a celebratory post-juice-cleanse burger.

To the burger trough!

Next we'll hear Chris Christie died gagging on a donut.

It would be great if this place franchises, and all those "America Fuck Yeah" types would gather weekly at the trough.

He's earned his plot next to Steve Irwin in the Graveyard of Predictable Outcomes.

Guns don't kill people. Burgers do.
