Death by burger. It’s a thing at the Heart Attack Grill

Death by burger?  It’s a thing.  The Heart Attack Grill is an American hamburger restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada (formerly Chandler, Arizona). It has courted controversy by serving high-calorie menu items with deliberately provocative names coupled with waitresses in sexually provocative clothing.

The establishment is a hospital theme restaurant: waitresses (“nurses”) take orders (“prescriptions”) from the customers (“patients”). A tag is wrapped on the patient’s wrist showing which foods they order and a “doctor” examines the “patients” with a stethoscope. The menu includes “Single”, “Double”, “Triple”, and “Quadruple Bypass” hamburgers, ranging from 8 to 32 ounces (230 to 910 g) of beef (up to about 8,000 calories), all-you-can-eat “Flatliner Fries” (cooked in pure lard), beer and tequila, and soft drinks such as Jolt and Mexican-bottled Coca-Cola made with real sugar.  Customers over 350 lb (160 kg) in weight eat for free if they weigh in with a doctor or nurse before each burger. Beverages and to-go orders are excluded and sharing food is also not allowed for the free food deal. –wiki

One of the restaurant’s promotions is a reward for customers who finish a Triple or Quadruple Bypass Burger, after which they are placed on a wheelchair and wheeled out to their vehicle by their “personal nurse”.

There have been a few deaths lurking around the restaurant, and well, you can probably guess that some of the patrons are not in the best of health.

So who’s died here?

  • The restaurant’s spokesman, 575-pound (261 kg) Blair River, died on March 1, 2011, aged 29
  • A customer in his 40s suffered a heart attack while eating a “triple bypass burger” at the grill on February 11, 2012.
  • A woman collapsed into unconsciousness at the Las Vegas restaurant while eating a “double bypass burger,” drinking a margarita and smoking a cigarette.
Would I eat here?  Yes.  Emphatic yes.  Would I eat here everyday?  Probably not.  Although this restaurant chain is doing nothing to promote good health, they are an extreme option if you really, really want to indulge in a night of gluttony.
