I have spotted the Arizona Heart Attack Grill mentioned a few times in articles usually relating to one of their artery clogging offerings but have finally paid a visit to their website and was not disappointed :
The Heart Attack Grill® is a hospital themed restaurant with locations in Chandler Arizona and Dallas Texas. It has become internationally famous for embracing and promoting an unhealthy diet of incredibly large hamburgers. Customers are referred to as “patients,” orders as “prescriptions,” and the waitresses as “nurses.”
The menu includes the Single Bypass Burger®, Double Bypass Burger®, Triple Bypass Burger®, and the Quadruple Bypass Burger®, ranging from half a pound to two pounds of beef. Also on the menu are Flatliner Fries® (cooked in pure lard), Lucky Strike® no filter cigarettes, Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer®, Butterfat Milkshakes®, full sugar Coca-Cola®, and candy cigarettes for the kids!
The menu names imply coronary artery bypass surgery, and refer to the danger of developing atherosclerosis from the food’s high proportion of saturated fat and excessive caloric content. The Quadruple Bypass Burger® has been quoted by the media at around 8,000 calories!
One of the restaurants most celebrated (and widely publicized) gimmicks is the free wheelchair service provided to those “patients” who successfully finish the Quadruple Bypass Burger®. Amidst a flurry of photography from tourist bystanders the “patients” are pushed in a wheelchair out to their cars.
The thought of trying to finish a Quadruple Bypass Burger with a full two pounds of beef is enough to make me want a wheelchair right now actually.
The menu itself (as pictured above) is enough to get multiple bansturbator knickers in twists.
I would just love to see the righteous frenzy in the UK if they opened a branch here. They would probably be able to power the entire UK on the wind power generated from the waved shrouds and hot air emanating from every single righteous orifice.
No, but we’re talking America here, so they are almost certainly “fake”…
microdave – fake or otherwise they would certainly distract from the menu deliberations and certainly more entertaining than some spotty oik at the local burger joint.
But even in the US there have been protests.

Sod the menu – the waitresses would give me a heart attack!!
Good grief microdave – you don’t get many of those to the
