Dude Suffers Heart Attack While Eating At ‘Heart Attack Grill’, Fair Advertising.

Darwin almost collected himself another award. Some dude was trying to crush a 6,000 calorie hamburger at the Heart Attack Grill when he began to own the restaurant’s name himself. 6,000 calories. WTF, mate.

I Heart Chaos:

The Heart Attack Grill, originally in Chandler Arizona, now in Las Vegas, has been around for some time, serving up super high calorie greasy food without much incident, but it was bound to happen eventually. This past weekend, while wolfing down a 6000 calorie Triple Bypass Burger, a Heart Attack Grill customer had an actual heart attack. Guess he got what he came for.

“Doctor” Jon Basso thought “Nurse” Bridgett was kidding when she informed the Heart Attack Grill owner that a customer was suffering some medical difficulties in the dining room.  

The situation was, in fact, as serious as a heart attack. FOX5 News Las Vegas reports that this past weekend, a man in his 40s began experiencing chest pains while consuming one of the restaurant’s signature 6,000 calorie “Triple Bypass” burgers. Basso, who is not a medical professional, called 911, and EMTs and paramedics arrived on the scene quickly.  

The customer – or “patient” as they are referred to at the restaurant, which moved from Chandler, Arizona to Las Vegas last October – is reportedly alive and recuperating. Sadly, that’s not the case for the restaurant’s 575-pound spokesman, who died last March at the age of 29.  

Heart Attack Grill is no stranger to controversy, actively courting fans and nayayers alike with slogans like “Taste worth dying for!” and “Cash only, because you might die before the check clears.”  

Menu items like lard-fried “Flatliner Fries,” highly caloric “Butterfat Shakes” and unfiltered cigarettes abound, scantily clad female servers dressed as nurses take orders as “prescriptions,” and a house policy allows diners weighing over 350 pounds to eat for free.  

Still, Basso calls the incident “horrible,” and had harsh words for those attempting to make light of it. He told FOX5 News, “The tourists were taking photos of him as if it were some type of stunt. Even with our own morbid sense of humor, we would never pull a stunt like that.”

In the words of Cersei Lannister, when you play the Game of Calories, you win or you fucking have a heart attack while ingesting a corpulent amount of calories. Seriously though. Don’t cry for me when I stroke out from my 10th liter of Diet Dew someday, and don’t be surprised when you’re crushing that many calories something awful may happen.
