Man suffers heart attack at Heart Attack Grill

Can't say he wasn't warned.

The Heart Attack Grill in downtown Las Vegas lived up to its name Saturday night, when a customer dining on a "triple bypass burger" suffered an apparent heart attack.

Amateur video of the man being wheeled out of the restaurant by EMTs was posted to several web sites.

"He was having the sweats and shaking," said ‘Nurse' Bridgett, who was working at the restaurant when the man in his 40s began experiencing chest pains.

Well, he can't sue for false advertising.

Quite the contrary; I can't think of a better endorsement of the place. They need to hire the guy as a spokesman. Their very own Jared Subway.

I tend to think that people suffer heart attacks while at McDonald’s, Taco Bell and Denny’s, or the gym, but somehow they don’t make for good headlines

Irony is so ironic.

True enough.
But then those places don't call themselves 'Diabetes to go-go' or 'Acute Spinal Stenosis' or ...

I wish I could find a clip of this, but last night on ABC(?) Nightly News, the owner of the HAG delivered some of the most subtle but brutal pwnage of a moralizing reporter I have ever seen.

Like you didn't expect it ... :roll:

Anti-meat group to Heart Attack Grill owner: ‘Shut it down’
It didn’t take long for the other shoe to drop. Within hours of a report that a customer suffered a coronary while devouring a 6,000-calorie burger at a restaurant that unabashedly specializes in artery-clogging fare, an anti-meat health advocacy group dashed off a letter advising the restaurant’s owner to “shut it down.”

The letter, by Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., appears on the website of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a self-appointed watchdog organization whose policies make Michelle Obama “Let’s Move” campaign seem laissez-faire by comparison. One of the PCRM’s handouts outlines “the four new food groups,” viz., fruit, legumes, whole grains, and vegetables.

The letter, to John Basso, owner of the Heart Attack Grill, begins:
I won’t sugarcoat this: Shut it down. As a dietitian who has worked with people suffering from diabetes and heart disease, I’m writing to ask you to declare moral bankruptcy and close the Heart Attack Grill.

Personally, my response would be to mail the PCRM a sample of my newest one-off special, The Shitburger.

The restaurant owner of the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas where a patron recently suffered an apparent heart attack while eating a 6,000 calorie Triple Bypass Burger defended his place as a freedom-loving establishment based on values our nation's "Founding Fathers intended us to live" by.


http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/02/17/man-falls-ill-eating-heart-attack-grill-burger/

OK, his food isn't so "healthy" per se, but I love this guy! And I hate the Nanny State Food Police.

BTW, as I posted earlier, people have heart attacks in many places. And I can't tell you how many times I've been at the gym and seen an ambulance come and take away a seemingly healthy, thin and fit person who was having chest pains while working out.

The late great Johnny Unitas, a very clean living guy, died from a sudden massive heart attack while working out at a medically supervised physical therapy center. My niece was there and saw it. One minute he was smiling and talking while walking briskly on a treadmill and the next, boom, hit the floor and was dead.

Reminds me of a British cigarette brand called Death. They highlighted the dangers of smoking and had things like a skull and crossbones on the packets and lines like "We are not selling a pack of lies. we a re selling a pack of cigarettes.".
