'Heart Attack Grill' spokesman dies at 29
575-pound man promoted burgers-and-fries restaurant with high-calorie menu for "Heart Attack Grill," home of "Flatliner Fries" and "Triple Bypass Burgers".
 PHOENIX — A 575-pound man who gained a measure of fame as spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill — a Phoenix-area restaurant that unabashedly touts its unhealthy, high-calorie menu — has died. Friends of 29-year-old Blair River say he died Tuesday, possibly from contracting pneumonia after a bout with the flu. Restaurant founder Jon Basso told The Arizona Republic that River was more than the larger-than-life caricature he portrayed in promoting the restaurant in Chandler, which includes huge hamburgers, milkshakes and fries cooked in lard on its menu. Basso said River was a creative genius who had been planning to take part in the shooting of a promotional spot called, "Heart Attack Grill: The Musical." "Cynical people might think this (River's death) is funny," Basso said. "But people who knew him are crying their eyes out. There is a lot of mourning going on around here. You couldn't have found a better person." The 6-foot-8 River was an Arizona state high school heavyweight wrestling champion in 1999 and played football at Mesa Community College.

Seen this place on TV once. Sad that he died
Never really understood the place when I watched it on tv. I believe if you were over a certain weight you ate free

"the flu". Yeah right. I'm sure him being 600 pounds had nothing to do with it

Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

There is noo such thing as bad publicity. Sales are probably going up 10% after this.
