Customer Protests Restaurant Over Fish Fry

Posted Tuesday, May 15, 2012 --- 6:45 a.m.

THIENSVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- A restaurant customer in Ozaukee County is protesting after he was cut off from the establishment's all-you-can-eat fish fry.

At 6 feet 6 inches and 350 pounds, Bill Wisth acknowledges he can pack away more fish than the average guy. But, Wisth wants Chuck's Place in Thiensville to live up to its all-you-can-eat advertising.

After Wisth ate a dozen pieces of fish last Friday, a waitress refused to bring more. The restaurant says it was running out of fish and patience. They sent Wisth on his way with eight more pieces. Wisth called the village police. And he came back two days later with a picket sign.

Waitress Elizabeth Roeming tells WTMJ-TV (http://bit.ly/KqsFao ) says they've tried to work with Wisth over the years, even letting him run a tab that he hasn't paid off.

    The fact that one person can eat that much is disgusting. Gluttony at its finest.

    Does he really need to eat 12 pieces of DEEP FRIED FISH? That is why he is 350lbs. Good for them to cut him off. I would too! I only eat broiled because of the FAT, geez guy get a grip!

    Sounds like the guy needs to get his weight under control and stop the all-you-can-eat stuff. Also, if I owned the restaurant I would refuse service to him. I would tell him he's no longer welcome in the establishment and if he comes back he'll be charged with trespassing.
