River helped bring the Chandler establishment national fame and overwhelming news coverage that year, promoting it as a place as “where you can almost feel your arteries clogging.”
The grill was founded in 2005.
The menu offered a “Single”, “Double”, “Triple”, and “Quadruple Bypass” hamburgers, fries cooked in pure lard, unfiltered cigarettes, even Jolt cola and Mexican Coke produced with pure sugar.
The diner doesn’t have waitresses but nurses, not orders but prescriptions. The front door entrance has a warning sign for the Surgeon General that reads “Go away, if you come in this place, it’s going to kill you.”
Restaurant founder Jon Basso tells news today that River wasn’t just his spokesperson, he was his best friend.
Funeral arrangements have not been announced.
