The Heart Attack Grill: Where You Can Eat Free If You Weigh Over 350 Lbs.

[AsahinaKimi]

A restaurant has launched an anti-health rebellion,
serving Quadruple Bypass Burgers (8,000 calories)
and Flatliner Fries cooked in pure lard.

In the late 90s while writing a paper about fitness training studios in a marketing class Jon Basso came up with an idea for a new theme based restaurant which he would call The Heart Attack Grill. Years later this American’s dream would become a reality in Chandler, Arizona where The Heart Attack Grill has literally been serving up death sentences on a plate since 2005. Menu choices include Quadruple Bypass Burgers (8,000 calories per serving) and Flatliner Fries deep fried in loads of good old-fashioned pure lard, served by scantily clad women in nurse outfits. Basso himself (known as Dr. Basso though he holds no medical certifications) will even examine you with a stethoscope and have you exit the restaurant in a wheel chair should you feel too weak from resulting blood clots to walk out by yourself. There’s also no chance of having your kids eat for free at this restaurant -- only the customers who agree to prove they weigh 350 pounds or more can enjoy that privilege!

1. But you can't be a waitress there if you weigh over 125 lbs.

Assholes.

But hey, the women will have the last laugh when thelechers they wait on keel over.

[CakeGrrl]

2. Well, it's not as if you don't know what you're getting into! n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. A place to definitely avoid

[sellitman]

4. Forget the food. that picture almost gave me a heart attack.

:evilgrin:

[sam sarrha]

5. MMMMMMMmmmmm ..burgers,!! do they take out life insurance on them before they're served.??

[NeedleCast]

6. I'll take everything in that picture to go please

[petronius]

11. Indeed - that photo supersized me!

(And the burger looks good, too.)

;)

7. This should be no problem for DUers, since there's absolutely nothing wrong with being big...

and it's not their fault anyway, and there's nothing at all within their power to do about it.

So this sort of thing should be just fine for DUers.

[Duke Newcombe]

14. Hmmm...I see what you did there. n/t

[onehandle]

8. It's the American Way. nt

[datasuspect]

9. i'm there dude

[BlooInBloo]

10. I'll join you.

12. Now I know I am a compulsive overeater among other things, but even I wouldn't

go there and eat that. (Even a double burger is too much meat for me.)

[Curtland1015]

13. Those waitresses are hot.

...I probably missed the point of this topic.

:hide:

[Blasphemer]

15. Uh huh

If the food is supposed to be the big draw, the servers wouldn't be scantily clad women.

[azmouse]

16. It's disgusting but no one is forced to eat there.

[flvegan]

17. The fact that this place is a success is quite telling.

[Donnachaidh]

18. I can just imagine the character "Fat Bastard" wheezing his way into that place.

To ogle the waitresses, and pack on even more pounds.

Figures - Arizona, the state of John McCain, where the heat is so bad in the summer you can blister your feet walking without shoes.

Land of the dumbasses.

[KansDem]

19. LOL!!! "Fat Bastard"

I get my burgers for free!!!

[Crunchy Frog]

21. Mr Creosote.

[azmouse]

20. It's not a great idea to generalize about the people who live in any particular state.

It always cuts both ways...

[Donnachaidh]

22. uhh, you have a restaurant with hoochies selling cardiac arrest burgers.

And you have John McCain. Go ahead and generalize about Georgia - I could probably come up with far worse than you could.

:rofl:
