Heart Attack Irony

In one of the more unfortunate cases of a company living up to its name, a man dining at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas had what was on the menu: a heart attack.

The diner was eating a "Triple Bypass Burger" — including 1.5 pounds of beef and a dozen bacon slices — this weekend when he began complaining of chest pains, according to a report on KVVU-TV in Las Vegas. Paramedics arrived to treat the customer, who is recovering.

The restaurant opened in the fall in Las Vegas — a previous incarnation in Chandler, Ariz., closed — and quickly made headlines for its fatty foods, with meals that regularly feature nearly 10,000 calories. Servers are dressed — scantily — as "nurses" who take "prescriptions" from their "patients."

Got it. It's like Hooters, with more grease. I had promised to take my husband there, but since he has already had one blockage we may reconsider.

Nah. If Jack In The Box can sell a bacon milkshake, we can do this too.
