Apparently a woman in Vegas collapsed while eating a double bypass burger...I felt like I gained a couple of pounds by just reading this article lol Let's hope she doesn't try to sue them for her medical bills.

    One thing to read about it, another thing to see it. As much as I want to say I love big burgers, I don't think I could ever eat here

    Her fault, no one made her eat there. Who doesn't know food from a place called Heart Attack Grill is bad for you.

    I have been to the one in Chandler AZ. It was fun because they gown you up and your waitress is dressed up as a nurse. Would I ever go back? Who knows, but I do know I did not eat for the rest of the day and I haven't yet been back since. They feed you for free if you wear over 350 pounds and there was someone there eating for free which is scary. I guess I thought it was fun as a novelty but I worry about anyone who would want to go there on a regular basis.

    No denying it's the fault of the person who eats there but at some point there should be basic guideline and rules on food establishment especially this one that brags about how unhealthy they are. There is such a thing as corporate responsibility, and yes there is personal responsibility too.

    I had to google this burger to see how it looks. Just one word "ewww". It looks like an instant heart attack. I don't even think I can get hungry enough to eat something like that. And I haven't eaten that kinda food in a while so it just doesn't look appetizing to me. These fast food places and restaurants are serving everything bigger nowadays. I went to Wendy's to get a small diet pepsi which used to be about 10 or 12 oz. Now a small is 20 oz, a medium is 32 oz and a large is about 42oz.

    It's quite the headline that it happened there, but it's those people's lifestyle giving them heart attacks ,not the occasional meal at the heart attack grill. I will probably go there next time I'm in Vegas. I love a nice big burger although I would skip the 2 pound 5000 calorie version simply because I couldn't handle it.

    There is no one at the front door of this restaurant with a loaded gun making you come in and try anything.

    I hope the "adults" who do this and then try to sue afterwards aren't raising kids.

    These "adults" need to be removed from the gene pool.

    We are the only ones responsible for ourselves. No one else made me over eat to be where I am today. Until people learn that than there are going to be stupid lawsuits out there. Believe me there are enough real reasons to sue company's without blaming them for what we personally can control

    I think they are being responsible by saying how unhealthy they are, unlike other companies that lie about. It's up to us to decide how we want to proceed with the information given.

    Even if I lived in the States I would not go there, I am a vegetarian. Large hunks of dead animal dripping with grease never appealed to me...before I went veggie I used to eat at Burger King and McDonalds occasionally but the portion sizes are WAY smaller than those in the USA.

    Whoa, 10, 000 calories?!?! :noway:

    I wonder if they have vegetarian options, though. A triple bypass veggie burger would be nice :bigsmile:

    Might have to start signing a waiver to eat there....but correlation does not equal causation so I don't see how the restaurant can be blamed...then again, there are some crazy *kitten* juries that give millions to an idiot that didn't think her coffee would be hot so there you go.

    The food looks awful in my eyes, I guess to each there own, but if you eat at a place like that you gotta expect the worse, not everything that's good to you is good for you!

    Why is it "What's wrong with the United States" and not "What's right when you have the choice to be a dumbazz" if you wish. Stop thinking of the negative, we are free (travel the world and see for yourself).

    According to their website the double-bypass burger is a POUND of ground beef. How can anyone even eat that much?!?!

    Correction: Individuals who make ridiculous choices are what's wrong with the United States' health. Well, that and a slew of other things. But, seriously. No one shoved food down her gullet.
