Customer gets a Heart Attack at the Heart Attack Grill
February 16th, 2012 - 8:20 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLas Vegas, Feb 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A man believed to be in his forties suffered heart attack when enjoying one of the signature high-calorie diets at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas. Paramedics were called in to save the life of the customer who is said to be responding to treatment.
The Heart Attack Grill is one of the most controversial eateries in the United States. Carving such slogans like “Taste worth dying for!” and “Cash only, because you might die before the check clears,” the eatery owner Jon Basso convinces the public that you should care less about what you consume.
Last March, the 29-year-old spokesperson of the eatery who weighed a massive 575 pounds died. The most popular dish on the menu is the “Triple Bypass” which contains a staggering 6,000 calories. The eating place was moved from its original location in Chandler, Arizona to its current location in Las Vegas last October.
Basso is adamant that his restaurant can be blamed. He however had some harsh words for those who took pictures of the customer who collapsed. He was quoted by reporters as saying that, “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.”
