DarthNinja Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 by SodaHead News Posted February 15, 2012 (5 hours ago) It was bound to happen -- practically written into their policy: The Heart Attack Grill, a restaurant chain known for its high-calorie menu, caused someone to actually have a heart attack. In the restaurant. The man, thought to be in his 40s, did survive, but had to be wheeled out of the chain's Las Vegas location by paramedics. He was eating a Triple Bypass Burger, which sounds even more ironic until you learn Bypass Burgers are all they offer. The Heart Attack Grill has a simple menu: Single, Double, Triple, and Quadruple Bypass Burgers -- each one adding an additional 2,000 calories -- and Flatline Fries fried in pure lard. The burger the man was eating contained three half-pound patties, 12 "rashes" of bacon, onion, tomato, and hefty slabs of special sauce. The chain is also known for offering free food to customers over 350 pounds. But chain executive (and former Jenny Craig diet centre employee) Jon Basso says the restaurant does draw lines, "I actually felt horrible for him because the tourists were taking photos of him as if it were some type of stunt. Even with our own morbid sense of humour, we would never pull a stunt like that." Would you ever eat at The Heart Attack Grill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InSoM- Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Really disgusting. That chain should be shut down permanently. Though I suppose its not much worse than Alcohol or Tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Swansons Moustache Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 What the heck is wrong with Americans and their portion sizes? Its disgusting in one meal they get their total calorie intake for the day lol. Who doesn't like bacon but 12 pieces on a burger? It was just a matter of time before that restaurant lived up to its name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangerines Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I think a quadruple patty burger at over 8,000 calories would sustain me for an entire work week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Raymond21 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 LOL I giggled slightly at the name and event. With the name "Heart Attack Grill", they were asking for a heart attack. Now with the event, its no longer just a name but truth. Eat there and maybe you will get a heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is it so hard for some people to just eat a run-of-the-mill single patty burger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoaltenderInterference Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I feel full just looking at that hamburger stack in the OP, never mind actually eating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeStealth Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Meh.... lots of people think they eat "healthier" when they have a large salad loaded with shrimp, lobster, crab, and tons of dressing. As for eating food with high caloric intake... more you eat, the more you gotta exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
