None of that food looks remotely good :O

Fuck this threads negativity, when I get chance to pass by Chandler, my first stop will be there.

i never really understood the heart attack jokes made by restaurants. i guess it shows how little we care about what we eat. you wouldn't see a mainstream cigarette brand call itself tumor maker! in a jokey way. it just always struck me as really weird and it's a phenomenon that goes way beyond just heart attack grill

(AstroLad post scan....... *89% chance of sincerity*)

I can't think of another restaurant that literally jokes about killing its customers like the Heart Attack Grill does. But if you're referring to the food-porn trend over the last decade that seems to have risen parallel to or in response to healthy eating awareness.. I think the difference is we can at least pretend to assume that a Hardee's Monster Thickburger, for example, is intended to be a "once in a great while" food dare. But it stretches credulity to consider a cigarette an infrequent treat. Customers (smokers) are expected to consume them in quantities that do significant damage to their health.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

It's how he would have wanted to die, In a long and excruciating event in which he feels his body slowly fail.

 

[Speedymanic]

Not to mention that hugely obese people tend to have respiratory issues.

Yep.

I'm always left speechless when I see someone as large as this guy, what must be going through their minds where they end in such a state.

There was a documentary about Britain's fattest man a few years ago and it was shocking the amount of health related problems he had, not to mention all the physical problem he suffered from.

 

[Darklord]

Never been to Mexico, South America, Africa, or SE Asia I see. I've been to all of the above.
The fact that we put fresh cleaned water on our lawns (in the desert no less) is an abhorrent waste to most of the world's population.

So perspective matters in what is waste and what is not.

On-demand clean water should be standard everywhere and should never be considered excess.

 

[Nard Bagman]

I want to eat at this restaurant now.

 

[NomarTyme]

I eat the quadruple bypass burger if they take out the bread, tomatoes, and cheese.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

To some...It looks good enough to die for.

 

[Death Dealer]

You could argue that his diet did in fact contribute to his death because his immune system wasn't in as good as shape as someone who wasn't morbidly obese. I'm sure it was already taxed fighting off numerous infections from leg sores and other ailments that are known to afflict very large people.

He doesn't look like the morbidly obese people that are too fat to even walk, like the type you typically see on Jerry Springer. The ones that are fat everywhere. Dude just looked like a really big guy with a huge gut.

yeah, right, it's a fairly extreme example in that the heart-attack LOL aspect is institutional but i do think the food-porn trend as you call it just goes to show how apathetic and sometimes outright hostile people are when it comes to nutrition. i guess another example would be alcohol talking bout how it's gonna wreck your liver. it's just so much more pervasive in the restaurant industry than really anywhere else, and it just seems incongruous in any other context but a lot less so w/r/t food apparently. i'm not even trying to be a debbie downer it's just something that's been weird to me ever since it really took off as a marketing fad

 

[DasRaven]

As it should be, yes. As it is, no. How do those where it isn't feel about those where it is?
(I'm not battling you, we agree. So that's my last response to this OT discussion)

 

[Speedymanic]

He was 575 pounds, that all has to go somewhere. I'll admit I even did a double take when I saw that picture, but then I realised he's just dressing smart and not wearing clothes that make him look as big as he is.

 

[Jade Ryan]

It's stupid to think that his weight and diet didn't contribute to his death.

 

[Aselith]

Everyone fried food in lard until 30 years ago. And they were healthier than they are now. Yes I know they worked a lot harder but still. Eating at this place once or twice isn't going to make you a fat slob. Although after seeing that video it looks like only fat slobs eat there.

It really just depends. It's not going to be an issue if you eat their single patty burger occasionally but eating a burger with 2 pounds of meat and a large amount of cheese on it is going to blow you up pretty fast if you there with any kind of regularity.

One a twice a week will fuck you over and you will die and sooner rather than later just like this guy. He did it to himself though. I can't blame the restaurant. Had he not done it here, he would have done it at McDonald's.

Man, that guy creeps me out a little bit.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

I have just watched the YouTube commercial. WTF.

 

[Death Dealer]

It's stupid to think that his weight and diet didn't contribute to his death.

I'm not disputing that. I just don't think he was the type of fat person that has leg sores and stuff because they literally can't move under their own power. Like an old person with bed sores that lays in a nursing home 24/7

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Damn, 29? That's fucked up.

 

[Axion22]

I guess you could say he wore it well, but any time you're going north of like 350 lbs., that's a lot of work to ask of a human heart.

 

[madara]

Reminds me of those stupid comments when Candy died. You live the life you want not others, we all have our own vices.

 

[CrankyJay]

Yeah, that's cool and all if you want to die young.

 

[Diablos]

It should be illegal to advertise to people that this is somehow an acceptable form of dining. They are also encouraging obesity by allowing those more than 350 lbs. to eat free and discriminating against those who aren't. Call me a commie, I don't care.

They attack the health care law on the official site, as though they have even more justification now to suggest such an unhealthy lifestyle.

What a crock of shit. It would be nice if there was just one day that I didn't come across something that makes me grow all the more doubtful about this country's future in some way.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Reminds me of stupid comments when Candy died. You live the very short life you want not others.

come on.

 

[dankir]

Uhhh he definitely doesn't look nearly 600 lbs. Also what the fuck kind of special to allow anybody over 350 to eat for free???

This place is gonna get sued!!

 

[AbsoluteZero]

That's quadruple bypass burger is the kind of thing you order and then spit with 4-6 people.

 

[speculawyer]

I like how he gives a 'thumbs up' right after the doctor says "inability to see your penis".

 

[Door2Dawn]

I like how he gives a 'thumbs up' right after the doctor says "inability to see your penis".

lol yeah cuz hes dead so he can;t use it

 

[madara]

come on.

Sorry but dealing with HUD residents all day. We get complaints from women on oxygen tanks puffing cigs about the fat women here on disability who complain about the drunks with liver failure, etc. But if your perfect by all means.

 

[speculawyer]

I'd say anything north of 250 pounds. (Unless you are really tall.)

 

[dude]

This restruant is very upfront about what it sells and makes no effort to hide it, some people want to eat disgusting food and they provide them with it, what's the problem? It's their life, buddy.

 

[Always-honest]

Quadruple Bypass Burger with 8,000 Calories....

that's just wrong.. might as well sell meth.

true..

 

[dankir]

After watching the CBS interview I want to go to that resto now.

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NNNNNNNNNUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I need a Animaniacs gif stat!

Derp. Their entire marketing is focused around joking about how unhealthy their food is.

 

[Xater]

None of that food looks remotely good :O

Glad I am not the only one. I look at the food and think it looks disgusting.

 

[Host Samurai]

Not gonna lie, but I would so eat there if I was starving and in the mood for a pig out meal. Keep in mind that I am 155lbs and in great conditioning.

 

[levious]

Uhhh he definitely doesn't look nearly 600 lbs. Also what the fuck kind of special to allow anybody over 350 to eat for free???

This place is gonna get sued!!

Thought the same thing, but he is 6'8".

 

[DasRaven]

Glad I am not the only one. I look at the food and think it looks disgusting.

If you're going by the pictures in the OP, don't. Much like all food advertising, it never looks like that IRL.
Check out the YT and you'll find that it looks exactly like any large burger you'd make at home.

Now, if large burgers aren't your thing, you're in the wrong thread. ;-)

 

[Dresden]

Eh... even for a pigout meal I wouldn't hit that place up.

love this page because of the illustration of the 350 lb weigh in. I mean they probably all are just 350 lbs of muscle!

I watched the videos and thought they look even worse in them.

 

[Kai Dracon]

The guy doesn't look like he weighed that much because he was a huge man - tall. Tall people wear weight better than short people. It's short and very overweight people who look like "butterballs".

Also, people should realize it was all a marketing stunt. I seriously doubt that man ate a quad bypass burger every week, or he would have weighed 1000lbs and been hospitalized. They just found a guy who was already mountainous, looked super heavy set, and paid him to be the spokesman.

Of course, his weight still may have contributed to his body being too weak to fight a severe flu infection. So it's not like he was fine at that weight either.

 

[dafinezt]

That nurse is bangin'...



oh, and RIP

Yeah, doesn't size discrimination usually go the other way?

Fuck that nanny state bullshit.

 

[Patriotsbball5460]

Have always wanted to make a trip to try it out one time. Too bad Arizona is 2,500 miles from me :/

 

[LyleLanley]

The burgers don't even look good, why would someone want 4 patties of mediocre burger?

 

[_Bro]

Big surprise? Wonder how Lindy down in Tucson feels about this. Arizona might be taking the biggest hamburger hit in the state's history.

God, Arizona is such a gross place for hamburgers but they all taste so good. Diablo Burger > All

i live like 30-40 minutes away from heart attack grill, maybe i'll stop in later and die for gaf

 

[speculawyer]

If a man who loved climbing mountains died at 29 while climbing a mountain, we'd say "good for him." This man died doing what he loved to do. God speed, good sir.

yeah . . . I can appreciate this. Lemme pour out some ketchup in memory of him.

 

[lethial]

Wow 6'8. He was a big fuckin boy.
