Millions of Americans watch what they eat. But one Las Vegas man has painfully discovered that where you eat can have a big impact on your health as well. In a story almost too bizarre to be true, a man suffered a heart attack after eating a "triple bypass burger" at the Heart Attack Grill in downtown Las Vegas, local affiliate Fox5 reports.

As comically tragic as that may sound, no one can sue the restaurant for not issuing fair warning. Its website proudly proclaims the menu offers, "Taste Worth Dying For!" (Fortunately, the man in question survived his attack.)

Still, it was the first actual known cardiac incident at the Heart Attack Grill. "He was having the sweats and shaking," "Nurse" Bridgett, who was working at the restaurant at the time of the incident, told Fox5. (Employees at the restaurant are given fake medical titles, including the establishment's owner, "Doctor" Jon Basso.)

There's a vid on the link, but I chose not to post the link.
 
Deserves got [strike]nothing[/strike] everything to do with it.

Bada bing!
 
I am in no way, shape or form a health food guy. I eat what I want because I like the way it tastes. If I don't like what it tastes like...screw it. Even if it is something that is healthy and I like the taste of it.

With that said, we make choices and we have to live with those choices.
 
I just added going to the Heart Attack Grill to my bucket list , of course it is last on the list . This sounds like my kind of place .

I heard the same guy got his *** kicked over fish and chips when he went to Assault & Battery.

True story.

I think I will head out there for a nice lunch when I'm around 95 and just about to check out.

Sounds like a good idea. Just order the quadruple bypass hamburger which has about 8000 calories. You'll be outta there after the first bite. :eek:

I can think of about 10,000 worse ways to go.

The only death that I would prefer over the burger would be death by a centerfold model on my 100th birthday . What a way to.go .

Maybe if the heart attack wasn't included. I've heard some people talk about having a heart attack and it sounds about like one of the worst things in the world.

Or die because of them.

At least we make a choice.

Not trying to be funny. I agree with you.
I live my life, you live yours and we have the choice to live the way we do.

When I can't make choices I would prefer to simply die.
 
The Heart Attack Grill in Chandler, AZ closed down a while back.

IIRC, the spokesman for the place died of a heart attack as well.

That place is absolutely TERRIBLE.

Yeah, I don't like the theme. I mean, one in a lifetime maybe. But I'm sure that place had its regulars.

I went to the one in Dallas ONCE. First, you can only pay in CASH. I didn't find out until it was time to pay. The girl said, "it says it on the door". I told her, "sorry if I didn't see it while I was being accosted and forced to put on a hospital gown upon entry".
The burger was just gross. Yeah, it was big and all that, but the meat was disgusting, the fries were gross. That place was the total fail.

It sounds like in more ways than one.
