ACCORDING TO HEART Attack Grill owner Jon Basso, death has been good for his restaurant’s business.
The Las Vegas diner is renowned for its ridiculously calorific fried foods that have contributed to the death at 29 of its spokesman.
The restaurant proudly boasts that it is home to America’s most gluttonous foods, but is it any good?
Business Insider’s Will Wei took a trip to the restaurant that spanks you if you don’t finish your food (seriously).
In keeping with the hospital theme, the waitresses wear nurse outfits and the wine is served in IV bags.
But the wine is a sideshow, you’re there for the burger. The greasy, greasy burger.
The result is general something like this, except for one HUGE difference.
This is a triple bypass burger. Wei ordered an octuple bypass. As in, eight patties. It’s four pounds of beef, 40 strips of bacon, cheese, chilli, tomato and onion. And two buns that are there seemingly to give the impression that this is still a burger despite not being anything like one.
The size makes the logistics of eating it a bit…tricky.
Weighing in at 20,000 calories, it is enough to fill 10 days calories for most regular sized humans. So, could Wei finish it?
Nope:
Which is probably for the best.

Octuple bypass burger with 40 slices of bacon for under $30! Cracking value all the same
That’s not 20k calories! No way! Maybe 8k…. But not 20k!!!
Is this blatantly taken from BI? Surly not?
Glass half full anyone?
Is that burger really big or she far away?
Gary Gary, with all of those green thumbs you have, I’m your biggest fan. But the minute someone else has more green thumbs, then I’ll be their biggest fan.
Ugh. A monument to the inequality of the world.
If they spank you if you don’t finish the food, I’d love to know what they do to you if you do finish it! :)
I’d buy that for the spanking alone… Naughty nurses.. Drool
You don’t have to eat a burger to get a spanking I’ll do it free
Is that all the chips they give you??
Obscene!
As Ireland’s pro’ competitive eater, I’ve travelled to Las Vegas where the good folks at Heart Attack Grill were very hospitable. Gluttony has been good for me !
And a diet coke please…
America the fat keeps on getting fatter.
Off to Vegas in two weeks. If I’m not back on here, you know what happened…
When the burger is bigger than the waitress,you know your in trouble.
That’s not a piece of food.
It’s a suicide attempt.
Just what the already overweight yanks need shocking
Murica in a nutshell.
This place actually has a scales outside the door with a large sign saying “People over 350 lbs eat free!”
Totally unnecessary. Nobody needs that many calories
Some people in Africa may strongly disagree. LOLZ
Ret#rd
Ah the Yanks know how to keep a customer happy…..
It would take a month to eat that and a year to work it off…
Do you want to Super Size that..
Typical of the American sickness. Half the globe starving. Famine rife in most underdeveloped countries. Nice touch SICKOS!
So ship the burgers off to Africa where the corrupt governments and rebels will just keep it all for themselves. Smart. America isn’t responsible for creating famines you twit.
Disgusting.
It’s just a man eating a giant burger as a novelty. He’ll do it once in his life, as will a handful of others. It wasn’t taken from some baby in Ethiplia and shipped over. Everything isn’t a sign of the end of the world.
Nobody’s forcing people at gunpoint into these restaurants. If somebody want to sell you a burger that consists of 8 parties more luck to them. If you’re stupid enough to think you can eat it, that’s you’re tough luck. It’s called freedom of choice.
I went into a food coma after visiting that place. They need a room at the back where you can sleep it off.
Totally agree johncakes, unfortunately people like Neil always looking for the drama instead of seen the bigger picture, Americans disgust me with the open over indulgence while kids starving all round world. It’s only an opinion Neil get off your high horse . Ass
Why ship them Neil. Be best flying them. With all the pirates round the African coast surely the ships be boarded and pillaged. You absolute spa stick. In future take a deep breath think hard and then post. You total PLANK .
@kittieBoom . Of course. You need only look at his earlier comments to see he is a jack Ass. Disgusting , totally over the top. There a disgrace them restaurants and them promotions. Portions that size , like SERIOUSLY
I have to agree with johnycakes..there are people starving all over the world..and here you have these guys on television/online and they cant stuff enough into their mouths..and the rest is thrown away..such a waste..its not right..
Most fat yanks would eat two of those!
have your say
