LOL I lift 5-6 days a week and I think if I ate 4000 calories a day I would be a fat ass like I used to be. I need to learn your secret.

And how has this place not been sued yet?

Well I'm bulking right now. Maintenance cals for me is 3,500. I'm 240 lbs though.

You folks should go to this one deli near me in NJ. The portions could feed an army.

And to think there are people starving in a small hut somewhere.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Limited? I see you don't live in Mexico.

Are you saying its available there year round?

 

[peteykirch]

Best part of Harolds is dessert.

You get a slice of cake from one of these behemoths.

 

[MrFortyFive]

Gonna have to try this place someday. The ice cream glutton in me really wants to try that shake.

 

[Ronin]

I'm pretty sure noody is being forced to eat there.

 

[RM8]

Yup. That's one good thing about living in Mexico after all

Definitely couldn't be sued for false advertising..

Because this place doesn't cause the heart attack?

The fat is not the problem on the burger. Unless it's fried up using partially hydrogenated oils.

Fat in excess is bad too. Everything in excess is, even plain water.

It's only bad in excess because of the caloric effects of the fat. Fat it self, doesn't cause CVD, make you gain weight, or have many adverse effects.

That is very old thinking that started back in the 1940's. Today, we know natural fats are beneficial to heart and overall health.

Which is why a Ketogenic way of life is now being advocated by some of the top docotrs around the world. Mayo clinic is now recommending a Ketogenic lifestyle to all their patients with bad heart health, obesity problems, Type 2 diabetes, bad skin, etc..

 

[GameplayWhore]

Ding ding.

Coincidentally, I'll be driving along 440 on Friday and Sunday. I'll have to try to gather some people for a run at it.


Note: If places like these were ever banned, I would be quite put out. Although I rarely partake in huge meals these days, I truly like knowing that I have the option to creatively abuse myself if I ever feel like it.

Well, this is exactly what I mean. It's very calorie-dense and as such it's bad to have it in excess. That burger probably has a TON of fat, so yes, it's part of why it's insanely unhealthy.

I rotate between about 3 things when I go there.

Corned Beef Hash + Rye Toast

Chicken Cordon Bleu Hero

Roast Beef with bacon and melted cheddar cheese.

All so good.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Strangely, I have no problems with a restaurant like this, since they're quite up-front about it.

Reminds me of this Garfield comic:

At least it's not lying.

 

[Bleepey]

This ain't surprised considering I seen plenty of documentaries about it being post on gaf before.

Burgers being coated in lard.
Unlimited french fries bar.
Real sugar coke,no diet coke.
Weighing over the a certain limit entitles you to eat for free.
Nurse models in lingerine serving the food.
Finishing a quadruple bypass burger in one sitting wins you a hot nurse wheeling you out of the place to your car.

Owner of the franchise is a former dietician.

I shamefully wanna eat there.

 

[Eusis]

Gonna have to try this place someday. The ice cream glutton in me really wants to try that shake.

I honestly expect it's the healthiest thing they're offering there.

 

[Amory]

silly to blame the restaurant at all, it's not like they're actually causing the heart attacks, they're more like the straw that breaks the camel's back. But having an "anyone over 350 pounds eats free" policy is rather stupid.

I'd blame a culture that allows a place like that to open and run than the place itself, it's symptom of a problem more than anything else.

I'm not sure how I feel about this "they're not forcing people to eat there" argument. Sure, they aren't, but if I give a suicidal person a gun then I'm somewhat responsible if something bad happens. These people clearly don't mind risking their lives because of a burger.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

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

Is that the actual menu from the place?
She "like's it in the can"???

Holy shit, do they give handjobs at that place as well. Possibly free for people who weigh over 350lbs?

 

[xJavonta]

I want to eat here

 

[notworksafe]

I want to eat here

Me too. Going back to Vegas this summer so I may check it out.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Over 350 lbs eat free?

Thats borderline manslaughter. No matter the labels and the warnings, the financial incentive must be tantalizing for people with eating disorders...

Though I kinda wanna check the place out. Not to eat, but to inspire myself to get into better shape.

America is such a classy country, lol.

We are a simple, earthy people. Unassuming, and tough as old tree roots.

 

[Riposte]

Someone explain to me what is the appeal of a stacked burger which is basically three burgers of the same kind in one. It is not as if you are getting a better taste by putting more food into your mouth at once (assuming that's even possible... I'm pretty sure it is not and what you end up getting is a burger salad).

That's my problem with it.
I've seen a video of this place and people were basically eating their hamburgers in various pieces, first the meat, then the bun.. what's the point?
Might as well order two normal ones, instead of a giant sized one that you can't even eat properly.

This time the double bypass was blamed.

That’s a Double Bypass from the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, where a woman -- eating a double-patty beef burger mashed between two lard-covered buns -- suffered an apparent heart attack. She was unconscious as she was rushed to the hospital Saturday night; she is expected to recover, KTNV.com reported.

To be fair, the burgers themselves may not be the culprit. The restaurant owner, Jon Basso, noted that the woman was also smoking and drinking a margarita.

"I would say the woman gave her body every single thing it could handle and it finally gave out," Basso told KVVU-TV Fox5.

This is the second time in three months that someone has collapsed while eating a burger at the Heart Attack Grill, where the motto is “Taste worth dying for.” Guests are described as patients in the restaurant’s stated quest against anorexia.

In February, a man in his 40s was eating a Triple Bypass when he began sweating and shaking.

"I actually felt horrible for the gentleman because the tourists were taking photos of him as if it were some type of stunt. Even with our own morbid sense of humor, we would never pull a stunt like that," Basso told Fox5. He said he heard the man had been hospitalized and getting better.

The restaurant doesn’t try to hide that it serves up fatty fare. A sign there reads, “Caution: This establishment is bad for your health.” Patrons who weigh more than 350 pounds eat free (and yes, there is a scale to catch the skinny minis angling for a free lunch.) The restaurant has explained that yo-yoing weight is unhealthy, so why not keep guests steadily obese?

The burgers range from the Single Bypass to the Quadruple Bypass, which has four half-pound patties and eight slices of American cheese. Add 20 slices of bacon (dripping in its own grease, of course) for $3.69. The quadruple has nearly 8,000 calories.

For good measure, the restaurant parks an ambulance out front.

Seriously? Rewarding overweight people by making them... more overweight? Doesn't anyone see a problem with this? Sure, people should take accountability for their own actions, but this pure form of enabling is pretty disgusting. You'd think that after 2 incidents the company would reconsider such a policy given that both of the incidents likely originated from this very policy. Yes, that's a guess but it's probably a fairly accurate one.

Me three. If I find myself in Vegas, i'm going.

I don't get how anything lard coated sounds good at all.
