Irony is the main entrée in the news this week: An unofficial spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas died of a heart attack Monday. John Alleman, 52, who scoffed at healthy heart warnings by waving in customers outside the downtown eatery while dressed as a hospital patient, is the second unpaid mascot to die in two years.
Alleman was taken off life support after suffering an attack last week while waiting at a bus stop in front of the diner. Though never on the payroll, Alleman came to the restaurant daily and encouraged passing tourists to try calorie-heavy offerings such as extra-fat milkshakes, Flatliner Fries cooked in lard and a Quadruple Bypass Burger that contains 9,982 calories.

I also miss the Jack In The Box places that were closed in this area so I can't get the greasiest taco in the world that they used to sell. I was able to satisfy that craving when I visited my daughter in San Francisco and went to the Jack In The Box out there.
He obviously ate there quite often. As you said, he ate himself to the point of a heart attack!
