Heart Attack Grill, Arizona, United States
|
The Heart Attack Grill was founded in 2005 by "Dr." Jon Basso with the declared intent of serving "nutritional pornography", food "so bad for you it's shocking". The idea came when writing a marketing thesis about fitness training studios, as he became inspired by stories about his clients cheating on their diets.
One of the restaurant's gimmicks is an unusual reward for customers who finish a Triple or Quadruple Bypass Burger, wherein they are placed on a wheelchair and wheeled out to their vehicle by their "personal nurse".
The restaurant was featured on an episode of Extreme Pig-outs.
The restaurant's spokesman, 575-pound Blair River, died on March 1, 2011 at the age of 29 due to complications from pneumonia.
