This is DISGUSTING

I could NEVER eat there before WLS or after. There's no ketchup on their burgers. Ugh!

 You are a trip and a vacation!

It doesn't even look good, unless I could eat like one eighth of one of those patties and even then, all of that grease, ugh.

 They only serve their burgers well done, so I think that rules me out as a customer, although I love a great hamburger.

The place has real iffy reviews, and there are definitely better places to get a burger in Vegas.  I think they make their fries in some kind of trans-fat, which is too bad, because everyone knows the best fries are made in duck fat.  Their milk shakes are made with butterfat, and reviews say they taste like buttercream frosting.  That sounds like the most disgusting thing in the world to me, and I LOVE me a vanilla malt.  

Obviously, my focus is on whether it's a quality restaurant, rather than the moral question of whether it's okay to serve that kind of food to people who are already killing themselves.  I think they lose the moral question hands down, but then again, I think the Olive Garden's breadsticks are amoral, as is most of the menu at IHOP.  

Ultimately, I agree that picture of the burger is totally disgusting.  I hate raw onions on my burger. 

Yes, yes it is. My sister went to vegas last month and sent me a picture of that place. She said, you could've eaten there for free last year, but not anymore! I wrote back to her, I don't think I would've! Gross!

 Wanna talk disgusting... as long as we're gagging on news articles...

Stuart Chaifetz Secretly Tapes His Autistic Son at School, Discovers He's Being Bullied by Teachers

 Yeah, I do a little special education law, and I have at least one case in which school officials are bullying an autistic child.

Sadly one of our sister schools recently had a huge issue in their "life skills" area. The story is that the parent suggested a method of getting an autistic child's attention, however the way it was applied turned it from once-in-a-blue-moon-and-very-mild.... into all-the-time-and-over-the-top

The principal retired at the end of that school year, a number of aides and a teacher were fired.

I have one autistic child in my honors math class. He's an interesting soul. He told me that I was teh first teacher he ever missed over the school break. I don't normally get very many students with learning disabilities because the classes I teach aren't high on the list of courses that such students are enrolled in, but almost always when I do, they have disabilities in something other than math.

I have to admit that when i first heard about this place, I thought the theme was kind of clever (even if a little dark), especially given what I deem to be the government inappropriately meddling by telling people -- and legislating even! -- what we can and cannot eat.

Free food to people over 350 pounds, though?!?  That is even more disgusting than the grease on the burgers. Exploitative.  Ugh.

I find it disturbing on several levels, but the most disturbing to me is that it truly pushes the assumption that many people have that fat folk will eat anything.

They make a point of giving free food to anyone over 350 pounds but wouldn't think twice if someone like my normal-weight, hamburger loving husband went in there and ordered it. And he probably would. That is just the kind of thing he loves.

What's next? Bring in your lab reports and prove your cholesterol and lipids are over 350 and get a free burger with extra grease?

I am not interested in telling other people what to eat nor in having the government do it. As repugnant as this is, it falls under the umbrella of free speech and free trade. I don't have to like it though.  I hope this place fades away with as little fanfare as possible.
