Hmm, you couldn't have made a more boring or worthless post if you'd hired a team of people to type in the most useless thing possible then ran the result through several rounds of focus groups for maximum blandness. Congratulations.

Your mother.

So why did McDonald's get so much legal flak for their menu offerings when there is crap like this out there in the United States? Seriously this is just pathetic.

Naming your food after health problems, giving it FOR FREE to the obese, and calling yourself the Heart Attack Grill?

I think the big thing is that you can't really eat there without knowing how terribly unhealthy the food is.

 

[alphaNoid]

I ... I want to eat at this joint. Anyone up for a GAF meet?

Wow...every single chick that works there is fucking slamming hot.

holy shit at this restaurant smh

 

[GoldenEye 007]

holy shit at this restaurant smh

Why lol?

I mean, you don't have to go there and the people that do... well aren't being misled. That's for sure. I commend the place for being so open and honest! If we could only get that in government!

the burgers can't be THAT good compared for what you can get at other places while being much healthier in comparison...

Exactly, it's like going to a stripclub named Stinky Fingers and then complaining the strippers are slutty.

I watched some Heart Attack Grill vids on youtube and I think I've seen more obese(I mean like really fat....deadly fat) people in these videos than in real life in the last 3 months.

are there special toilets in US restaurants?
I mean how do some people take a dump? That one guy in blue shirt looks like he'd absorb a standard size toilet if he sits down to shit.

Somewhere Jamie Oliver is crying to himself.

 

[operon]

RIP etc etc.

Any burger you got to use cutlery to eat is fail.

And as for the ones posting that the "nurse" in the OP is fat, theres something badly wrong with you, she's in no way overweight

 

[daviyoung]

No surprise there really. Every time he looks at a map of America he starts dripping.

while jerking off to the nurses

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Someone else is dying because they have NOTHING to eat.

 

[DonMigs85]

Why are there so many people here who can't seem to grasp how tongue-in-cheek this restaurant is? They CRAVE the publicity and are proud of touting just how unhealthy their food is. It's a niche they chose to exploit. Flatliner fries? Quadruple-Bypass Burger? The names alone should immediately tip you off.

 

[Scrow]

that guy was 29? holy fuck. i'm turning 29 this year... i can't imagine dying (biologically) at such an age. wtf

 

[bozeman]

I personally love the low angled mirrors so all the customers can see straight up the nurse's skirts.

I'm planning a move to Phoenix for later this year and I'll definitely stop by. Right now, I'd qualify for the free meal, but if I continue on the diet/exercise path I'm on right now, I'll be way under before I get there.

 

[SmokyDave]

I think having the hot nurses around is cruel. It must remind these behemoths what they could've had if they'd only put the burgers down once in a while.

 

[2San]

While I see nothing wrong with this establishment, but honestly the whole "if you're 350lb+ you eat free" thing is pretty terrible. :|

And I think the quad bypass burger is bad even on an occasion.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Jesus, that food looks absolutely disgusting.

 

[daviyoung]

I'd hate to be the toilet attendant at that place.

 

[Entropia]

Their food looks so disgusting and bad... yet I want to go there and try one of their single patty burgers just once.

Pro-tip: sometimes when someone posts a comment, it's in reference to the totality of the event in the OP, not simply the existence of one of the aspects of it.

Since an overweight guy dying of pneumonia is not anything particularly noteworthy nor emblematic of systemic problems in the country, it's pretty rational to take away from your post that the "Idiocracyesque" things, and the signs of some sort of national degradation you refer to are likely the restaurant and its ad campaigns.

Unless there's a scene in Idiocracy where a bunch of fat guys die that I don't remember...?

 

[beelzebozo]

a big cheeseburger on a bun is gross!!!!!

Yes, and since the guy was just the picture of health I'm so surprised that he, a 29 year old, died of pneumonia. I'm sure the fact that he was morbidly obese for a living had nothing at all to do with his death.

There's a pretty big difference between this guy's level of obesity and the average person's level of obesity; while many Americans are fat, this particular guy is a statistical aberration even among them, so pointing to him/the circumstances of his death as being indicative of something wrong with America as a whole is kind of silly.

Edit: and I agree with beelzebozo; what looks so disgusting in this food? It's hamburgers and fries fried in lard, for God's sake, nothing too weird.

The point is that this guy was a celebration of a deadly level of unhealthiness and was closely intertwined with a campy/ ironic theme restaurant that abruptly became a little too real. That's the bit that reminds me of Idiocracy, the erasure of the line between being in on the joke and being the joke.

 

[Rapstah]

There's a difference between accepting that people should be able to eat what they want and thinking that there's nothing disgusting about lard fried in lard-fried lard.

Fair enough, I guess, though I think that it's a bit of a stretch, myself.

Rapstah: Fries fried in lard, buns cooked in lard. That doesn't sound too unreasonable nor disgusting to me, considering that both would have been cooked in plain oil either way. Lard used to be a much more common thing.

 

[LegendofJoe]

"Mild Death can occur"

That's a marketable slogan if I've ever seen one. Seriously though the fact that the guy who started this restaurant is a former nutritionist should tip people off. It seems to me like he's trying to send a message to people that are proud of being morbidly obese while making some money while doing it. Being that big (>350 lbs) is a sickness and an urgent health risk and he's putting it out in the open for everyone to see. The fact that their spokesman died at the age of 29 shows how effective this message can be. Hopefully people who are conscientious about the danger their obesity puts them in will wake up and make changes in their lives.

 

[TheLastCandle]

Yeah, saw a video about this place a while ago. I'm not particularly for or against this place, but I doubt I'd ever go. I love a good burger, but I'm not one to usually go for something that horrible for me. To me a Five Guys double patty burger is big time splurge so this would be on par with Thanksgiving dinner or something.

People falling to their knees and weeping that this is downfall of the country need to chill though. Most people still wouldn't step foot in the place.

 

[Big Chungus]

Do they serve salads?

Yep, even McDonald's used to fry their fries in lard or beef tallow.

 

[Dai101]

[Abooie]

Is it bad that the only thing putting me off is the fact the bun is coated in lard...

 

[DonMigs85]

Don't forget that lard was often used as a butter substitute in the past.

 

[iamaustrian]

The owner said instead of a salad bar they opened an all you can eat Fry Bar(fries are deepfried in pure lard)........

I read in some reviews that the fries are "extremely greasy" though.
wouldn't be exactly my taste



edit: oh boy, I just found "Heart Attack Cafe". looks like it's a franchise.
This one is really disgusting though.

who the fuck eats deepfried butter?
deepfried cinnamon crisps? seriously?
barf

Those are little food stands they have at state fairs and things like that. They fry coke and oreos and whatever else. It's meant to be gross, sort of.

They eat some of that in this Mega64 podcast around the 12 minute mark.

[low-G]

I can't believe you "he died doing what he loved" people. The guy was fucking pathetic, worse than the average drug addict.

It's not like he was a danger to the public every time he got in a car like a drunk.

He didn't slowly kill others in his presence through secondary smoke.

He didn't sponsor the murders of thousands of Mexicans like illegal drug users.

No, drug addicts are worse.

Only if he gets a heart attack while driving.

There is the concern of the methane released into the atmosphere due to the support for the beef industry too.
