   A Las Vegas man who was the unofficial spokesman for the Heart Attack   
   Grill, a medically themed restaurant that embraces monstrous   
   hamburgers, died Monday after suffering a massive heart attack.   
      
   John Alleman, 52, who had come to the restaurant to eat every day, was   
   on life support at the Las Vegas Sunrise Hospital after he had a   
   "massive" coronary at a bus stop last week. He was taken off life   
   support Monday.   
      
   Heart Attack Grill owner Jon Basso, who was in Alleman's hospital room   
   when he died, told ABC News that Alleman said both his parents had   
   died in their 50s of heart attacks.   
      
   "This was really a nice human being, just the greatest guy you would   
   ever want to know," Basso said.   
      
   The Heart Attack Grill, whose tagline is "taste ... worth dying for,"   
   plays up its image as a glutinous burger joint, bound to put customers   
   in a food coma.   
      
   Burgers on the Heart Attack Grill's menu have names like "Single   
   Bypass," "Double Bypass," "Triple Bypass," "Quadruple Bypass" and so   
   forth. The "Quadruple Bypass Burger," which packs four meat patties   
   and weighs more than 3 pounds, won the Guinness World Record for   
   "world's most calorific burger," packing a whopping 9,982 calories.   
      
   The menu also includes sky high-calories sides, such as "Flatliner   
   Fries," which are deep-fried in pure lard . . . :

   One's sympathy is strained.   
   Restrained, even.
