A model who weighs 380lbs has revealed the restaurant in which she ate for free thanks to her size – and says it saved her ‘thousands’.
Alex Aspasia is often seen flaunting her voluptuous curves no matter what online.
And it appears the same attitude prevails in public, particularly outside one controversial location.
The 31-year-old, who weighs around 380lbs, had been an avid goer of the Heart Attack Grill, based on the infamous Fremont Street, Las Vegas.
The reason she loved going there so much? Since she weighs over 350lbs, the model got to eat for free.
And she estimated that, each year, at least a whopping $1,000 (USD) was saved by going there for her tea.
In a clip, which has racked up 299,000 views and over 6,000 likes, Alex can be seen using their outdoor scale to check she meets their freebie requirement.
“I got free meals there all the time,” the size 26 model told Need To Know.
“The meals are huge, too.
“A burger with fries and a shake could easily be around 3,000 plus calories.
“But depending on what you order, especially some of the larger burgers, it was usually thousands more.”
Alex, who used to scoff at the lot each time, shared her heartbreak after the Grill announced its closure in May 2026 after 21 years in business.
Reports claim that owner Jon Basso chose not to renew the lease due to rising costs in the city.
For paying customers, it meant that their menu prices had to rise beyond levels that he deemed fair.
The restaurant had been slammed for “glorifying” extreme obesity, unhealthy eating and medical emergencies as entertainment.
And, according to multiple reports, multiple customers and staff members had actually suffered heart attacks while there.
Alex, however, didn’t care about what other people had to say about her favourite eating spot – and shared the clip of her weighing herself as a final goodbye before having her last free meal.
In the video, she wrote: “If you weigh 350lbs or more, you eat for free at this restaurant.
“Are you brave enough to weigh yourself?”
As she steps onto the gigantic scale, the numbers quickly rise – reaching 369lbs.
She jiggles up and down as the scale continues to increase.
Signs surrounding her say: ‘Fighting anorexia since 2005’ and ‘Caution! This establishment is bad for your health’.
Users have flocked to the comments to share their reactions.
“This is a healthy 369 in my eyes,” one person said.
Stan commented: “That’s not a good thing to be proud of.”
“She’s bigger than an NFL linebacker,” wrote Derek.
Someone else added: “The toilet hates to see her coming.”
“Nobody who qualifies will grow old,” wrote Rick.
Alex, from Miami, US, previously revealed the “cruel abuse” hurled at her amid a rise in the use of weight loss jabs.
She added: “I’ve noticed a shift in energy.
“I believe it’s tied to what’s culturally relevant right now, what’s considered the trendy beauty standard and the look.
“We know people are just really condemning bigger people and their lifestyles.
“I’ve always felt judgment, shame around my size and a lot of emotions.
“I’m tired of what being a bigger person in society has made me feel like.
“It’s 100 times worse right now.
“It’s just so crazy that we are dealing with very difficult times.
“Instead of loving our neighbours, we’re judging them.
“I feel like every day I’m bombarded with online messages from people trying to get me to use [skinny jabs].
“Also, people in my real life who I know have used them to lose weight have told me to get on them.
“But I refuse.
“The world has gone mad.”
