Two customers' collapses last year didn't seem to faze fans of Las Vegas' Heart Attack Grill.
Now there's word from the Las Vegas Sun that John Alleman, an unpaid and unofficial spokesman for the restaurant who stood outside its doors every day to greet customers, has died after suffering a heart attack last week.
Alleman, 52, was at a bus stop outside the restaurant when he was stricken.
Grill owner Jon Basso tells the Sun that Alleman's death isn't going to mean the demise of "Flatliner Fries" or what the restaurant says is the world's "most calorific burger." We're talking 10,000 calories.
"The grill is where you can be yourself. We accept people as they are," Basso says in the Sun's report. "(Alleman's death) isn't going to stop us from what we're doing. People have got to live their lives."
