If you're in the mood for some killer food, you're in luck! The nation's very first true crime-themed restaurant - where you can order the final meals of some of history's most reviled criminals - is opening a second location. The Final Meal - which opened last year in Galion, Ohio, and has become so popular, it requires reservations - is now eyeing a second eatery in Michigan, MLive.com reports. The Final Meal's Facebook page also confirmed the expansion of the business into the Great Lake State. The Final Meal claims on Facebook to provide "a unique dining experience that focuses on serving the last meal requests of infamous names" in the realm of true crime. One of its walls is covered in Ouija boards. One of the restaurant's owners, Nate Thompson, said he's a Michigan native who also owns the Michigan Museum of Horror. He spoke to MLive and said he "always thought it would be unique to have a restaurant where you could eat the same last meals" as famous executed criminals. "I'm very excited to bring The Last Meal to Michigan as it was always a goal of ours to do that," he added.

Thompson said that the menu at the second restaurant will be similar to the one offered at the original Ohio location, with some items that will be exclusive to the Michigan eatery. At The Last Meal, foodies with a penchant for true crime can order the same final dishes devoured by serial killers John Wayne Gacy (chicken wings, strawberries, fried shrimp and French fries), Ted Bundy (parmesan steak loaded steak fries), and Aileen Wuornos (cup of black coffee and a cheeseburger) before they were put to death for their crimes. Owner Nate Thompson stands outside The Last Meal Courtesy of The Last Meal Restaurant/Facebook Order the Caryl Chessman, named after the kidnapper, robber, and serial rapist, and you'll get a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and a bottle of Coca-Cola. Ask for the Timothy McVeigh, and you'll enjoy what was the homegrown terrorist's last meal: two pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream. The Ohio eatery's menu also boasts a host of bloody good signature cocktails, including the Helter Seltzer, which was inspired by Charles Manson and his followers' crimes.

There's even the Pogo Punch, inspired by Gacy, who spent years working children's parties as a clown-for-hire named Pogo. Online, the restaurant proudly promotes itself as "the only restaurant in the entire world where you can eat a meal and then hold a human skull." The Final Meal's social media pages do feature images of what looks like it could be a human skull. "I have always had a passion for cooking and serving food, and I figured if I could make it a themed attraction similar to the Museum of Horror, it would appeal to visitors in a similar, yet different way," Thompson added. The Michigan locale should be ready for its grand opening in April. "This will be the only place around where you can actually say the food really is to die for," joked Thompson.
