As I scrolled through the Whitney funeral news and the news about Jeremy Lin's 3-pointer to extend the Knicks winning streak to 6-games, I came across this odd story. Well, not so much odd more than it's coincidental. You see, there's a popular burger restaurant on the West Coast called the Heart Attack Grill. Now, who would ever think that someone would actually have a heart attack in the Heart Attack Grill? That's like actually making muscles at the Muscle Maker Grill!
Anyway, a man recently scarfed down a burger and fries at a Heart Attack Grill restaurant in Las Vegas over the weekend when he actually suffered a heart attack in mid chew! One witness said that the man, who was in his 40s, was chowing down on one of the grill's most notorious burgers, the "Triple Bypass Burger", when the symptoms erupted.
The restaurant's owner, Jon Basso, said that the gentleman could barely talk and he was having the sweats and shaking. He immediately called 9-1-1, and the man was rushed to a local hospital, where he survived and is recovering.
The Arizona-based chain restaurant caused quite a stir in Sin City when it opened back in October because of it's shameless glorification of fatty, high-calorie food. Customers dress like patients in hospital gowns over their clothes and are served by waitresses in skimpy nurse's uniforms, who check diners' pulses before taking their drink order. It sounds like a really fun place!
Bypass Burgers are served with 'Flatliner Fries' cooked in lard, which can be washed down with butterfat milkshakes. A sign on the door reads: "Caution! This establishment is bad for your health!" At least, there is a warning on the door! Customers who weigh over 350 pounds eat for free! Dammit! I have 175 pounds to go!
The franchise has no plans to trim the fat from the menu following Saturday's scare, but Basso did say that his 'heart' went out to the customer. I guess this was just another one of God's sick jokes!
WATCH THE HEART ATTACK GRILL COMMERCIAL HERE! IT'S RIDICULOUS!
