Given that healthcare costs for the morbidly obese are roughly 50% greater than for a 'healthy' individual. Thus, it could be successfully argued that this restaurant is actually saving taxpayers money.
Adults are free to do whatever they want to their bodies, but when a restaurant misleads its patrons into thinking they're eating healthy, they interfere with that freedom, at least from a moral standpoint if not a legal one. This place freely admits their food is unhealthy instead of preying on poorly informed folks who think they're eating healthy by choosing the grilled chicken Caesar salad that has enough fat and salt to stop your heart.
We are going to Vegas in a few months. I sent the link to my SO. No doubt it will be on his "top ten" of places to eat in Vegas.
It is fun for the experience. The food is nothing to write home about. It's kitschy, you put on a hospital gown and a cheesy wristband. The servers are scantily clad "nurses". If people cannot figure out that a place like this is just for fun, well, I guess they get a Darwin award.
Why not blame the farmer for raise'n the wheat to make the flour that is used to make bread that people spread too much butter on and eat a loaf at one sitting? Or blame enough rain to raise the wheat crop?
Sounds stupid doesn't it? Then quit make'n excuses for people over eating or not take'n care of themselves, it's not your right to tell a person how to live. Oh, wait.....this is America.....it's our right to make someone elses business our business and try to control them.

Ha ha! I sent him the link, he wants to know what day we are going, and if we need reservations...knew he would love it. The man thinks bacon fat is a seasoning, and main ingredient.
I find it interesting that folks over 350 eat free...all the time? Every day? I hope that place has some strong chairs.it seems like that is sort of odd...do they want obese folks at their establishment? Or just more free publicity when they keel over?

Yes. That uniquely American trait where people think about the lifestyles of others, and form judgments. Won't find humans doing that anywhere else on Earth.

It's part of the kitsch. I have no idea if it's a standing offer. There is a big scale in the middle of the restaurant. Last time I was there, three of us jumped on the scale together and the waitress took a picture for us. They park an old ambulance outside and also have an outdoor scale for people to have fun with.
I took my son there for his 21st birthday where he got a serious paddling from the "nurses."
The chairs are standard sized as far as I could tell, and I didn't see any particularly obese people in the restaurant either time that I was there. Don't ask for a light beer. They'll laugh at you.
When you guys go down there, be sure to hit up "Insert Coins" for some nerdy retro-gamer fun after your "bypass" burger.
