Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free.
Next time you hit up a Palm Beach Burger King, keep your eye out for Michael Lohan, Lindsay Lohan's 51-year-old troubled father, who recently applied for a job there.
Enrollment at the treatment facility and application to Burger King was apparently part of his plea deal in the domestic violence case against him in Tampa last October involving his ex-fiancée, Star magazine reporter Kate Major.
Other notable people who have spent time in BHPB are professional athletes Ray Lucas of the Miami Dolphins and NBA star Spencer Haywood. The cost of a typical recovery period there ranges from $12,000 to $80,000 per stay.
While chilling in the recovery village, Lohan was detoxed from several illicit substances, including steroids. Last December, Lohan nearly died from a blood clot in his lung. If genes are any indicator, Lohan's daughter will be a party machine well into her 50s.
