Just looked at their menu.

The highlights include unfiltered cigarettes and 24oz cans of Olde English.

They sell Colt 45s there. That's pretty cool. The quadruple bypass burger is fuckin insane though.

I don't care about the lol calories spectacle and the tourist angle is a turn off but if their burgers are legit, yeah absolutely, sign me up for the double.

I just wonder if this woman was already morbidly obese. Could one of these kill a just moderately sickly person or only someone already near death's door?

I saw this story on the news earlier today. There was cell phone footage or something of them loading her into the ambulance. She definitely looked morbidly obese. I'd guess at least 400lbs.

Yeah the food at this place is extra fattening, even by the standards of burgers, fries, and milkshakes. But I don't see a direct cause and effect. These people who have been having heart attacks while eating here, are the type of people that were bound to have one anyways. It probably would have happened within a day or two even if they had not been dining at the Heart Attack Grill. I've never been there myself, even when it was local, but I have heard the food is not anything special. Seems to be about quantity over quality. Great theme and marketing though. And I think the owner must consider it good publicity when these things happen.

Oh look another coincidence.

The act of getting up and going to the restaurant and subsequently having a blood clot come loose is more likely to be the cause than any relationship to the food they are eating that day.

It takes time for stuff to deposit enough inside arteries to clog them, decades even.

Can't be mad at the restuarant. I mean, they fully warn you and it's not some sleezy scenario.

Funny that with two cases of death, people still go there. Their reputation (unless the food is bad) can't be shattered.

You know, I never really went looking up what LARD is, what it's made out of, or from. I'm sure, as a Southerner, I've ate bucketfulls of it over the course of my life (via meals made with it).

I know the name "Lard" just doesn't sound very good, and the thought of a clump of it makes my stomach queesy.

But wow, it's nothing but a bunch of Pig Fat. Globs of fat pull from around the kidneys and intestines of a Pig.

Yummy...

8000 calories??? Fuck that's almost over 9000. So you basically well gain nearly 3 lbs of fat eating that?

Crazy... you American's and your restaurants. It's either people are getting into fights at them, being run over by other patrons or dying from eating at them!

The Double pattie burger from Five Guy's, is about as much from a single burger as I can take at once.

Just a miniscule 700 calories...

1 Dozen of those to match this quadruple burger...

Except for what you're "eating that day" is 8000+ calories of thick crap which is a horrible horrible strain on the body and thus, person with weak clogged arteries gets a heart attack and dies.
That would never happen.

"I made a McGangbang last week and no joke, I could feel my heart struggling and I was having breathing problems as I was getting to the end."

My point exactly. I have no idea what a "McGangbang" is but I'd assume it's not even half of 8000 calories.

I remember seeing this place on some TV show, and me and my roommate both said "this place offends me."

It wouldn't. It takes time for food to pass the stomach and start absorption in the intestines. It doesn't matter how many calories is in it at that moment.

Any effect would likely be indirect, such as eating it too fast and losing your breath because you can't breath as well whilst you are chewing. Or overexpanding your stomach increasing pressure on the lungs. These would cause your heart rate and blood pressure to rise and increase the risk of damage to or rupture of atherosclerosis and the breakaway of clots.

Yep. People eat like crap for years and then suddenly have a heart attack. Why blame the last meal when you can blame every other meal along the way as "causative". People just see bacon and grease and think "heart attack".

Kobayashi isn't going to die of a heart attack from one of his eating competition meals even though his meals are technically "worse".
