Yeah, it was all about how when he got his fatal brain tumor, his head
swelled up to the size of a basketball (is that not a beautiful example
of "poetic justice"?). Of course, even as he was dying he still
managed to fuck someone over, by not letting his wife spend his
final hours with him because he was too busy screwing his nurse. 

I'm disinclined to spend money at any establishment owned by someone
who'd do business with a guy like that, but it is pretty good barbeque
for a franchise outfit. It still can't touch the real thing though.
