Now I've seen it all...The Heart Attack Grill

Stella777

Last evening I was watching a TV show called "Extreme Pig-Outs." They were profiling a restaurant called the Heart Attack Grille. OMFG!!

The decor is like A&E department of a hospital.

All of the dishes are named after medical procedures. The Quadruple Bypass is a burger which includes almost 4 pounds of beef.

One of their specialties is "All-U-Can Eat Flatliner Fries." That means for less than $5 you can pig out on all the lard-fried chips you can cram in.

The place appears to have a mostly male clientele.This is probably due to the fact that instead of waitressses they have Naughty Nurses who dress in extremely skimpy outfits. The nurses take the customers vital signs before taking their orders.

The thing that really shocked me is that they give free food to anyone who weighs over 350 pounds. They have a doctor's scales right there to confirm. So if you step on the scales and it's over 350, you dine for free everyday.

I wish I were making this up. They also sell unfiltered cigarettes???

what business of ours is this though? If people want to eat burgers, that’s their right,. And if the manager wants to sell cheaper to O/W people that’s his business….come down of your high horses lads!

Free food for over 350 pounds? Would it be worth putting on a coupla stone? I'd be bloody tempted. :pac:

Unless people are being kidnapped, driven to the restaurant and force fed - I don't have a problem with this place. A little common sense and willpower (not to mention occasional exercise) goes a long way.

If you like burgers - check out this story - the top 10 gut busting burgers:

My favourite is number 3:

Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub in Pennsylvania has been in constant pursuit of the title of World’s biggest burger after unleashing its famed Olde 96er in 1998.

Using a whopping 6 pounds of meat, one large onion, two whole tomatoes, one half head of lettuce, 1 1/4 pounds of cheese, top and bottom buns, the sandwich is finished off with a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, banana peppers and some pickles.
The pub challenges eaters to finish the burger within 3 hours to make it onto its wall of fame and receive the burger for free.
Following a recent spate of challengers - some successful - Denny’s responded with the even bigger Beer Barrel Belly Buster, that ridiculously features 50 pounds of meat coupled with 4 pounds of cheese,

My main issue is not with restaurants offering unhealthy, supersized food. It's the gimmick of giving free food only to the morbidly obese which I find explotive and disgusting.

The program showed two very large men stepping on the scales while the sexy "nurses" fawned all over them for being heavy to the point that they are in danger of dying prematurely.

People that weight need ecourangement to lose the excess pounds, not congratulations and fake attention from girls paid to pretend they think the guys are attractive.

I'm not sure if the promotion is even legal. Giving away free food, but only to those over a certain weight? Imagine if it were reversed and they were giving free stuff to customers under a certain weight????

Or giving free drink to alcoholics who are over a certain blood alcohol!!!

I dunno, one of those burgers without the bun would make for a nice low carb feast

On a serious note, this place thrives off the publicity generated by people's outrage. And since this is the third time I've heard of this place, it seems to be a very smart PR strategy.

I thank god I don't live in the states, that placed can be so f*cked up sometimes especially food culture wise! I think it's fairly pathetic tbh, and the guys who go there even more so.

And for anybody thinking "only in america", think again.

Cavan has biggest full Irish

Local businessman Farrell Grogan has a go at the world's largest full Irish breakfast record attempt with encouragement from the staff of The Hard Boiled Egg, Kristina Veisa, Bridget Martin, John Gaughan, owner and Maggie Quinn.

Hung-over? Absolutely starving? Then head down to the Hard Boiled Egg cafe in Cavan town. They have launched a bid to be recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as serving the largest Irish breakfast in the world.

The traditional Irish breakfast has often been maligned as a 'heart attack on a plate' but this was probably an exaggeration, until now.

The breakfast, which is now being served, consists of ten rashers, ten sausages, ten eggs, five pieces of pudding, five hash browns, chips, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans and ten slices of toast with plenty of tea. The team at Hard Boiled Egg should find out within the next month if their breakfast officially breaks the current world record.

A restaurant in Bristol in the UK is the current holder of the record with a breakfast that weighs in at six pounds and six ounces. The Cavan-based cafe beats this weight by a good eight ounces coming in at over seven pounds.

John Gaughan, owner of the Hard Boiled Egg cafe, said: "When we plated it up it's a huge, huge breakfast."

The record-breaking breakfast went on the menu over a week ago but the hungry punters must be working on their appetite. John said that a few people have promised to attempt the mammoth task of eating the entire breakfast. The breakfast is good value at €19.95, although if you can eat the entire thing in half an hour it is on the house. Free breakfast anyone?

I think it's more than "in danger of". I wonder if you can ever recover from that kind of abuse to your system.
