Woman Collapses at Heart Attack Grill

[n2doc]

The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas has lived up to its name, yet again. A woman is recovering after she collapsed at the restaurant Saturday night.

The woman, a Las Vegas resident in her 40s, was eating a double bypass burger, smoking cigarettes and having a margarita, said the restaurant’s owner, Jon Basso.

She was found unconscious at the restaurant and during the resuscitation, said Basso, who’s been following her condition. She’s doing okay and is now recovering at the hospital he said.

With customers from around the world, “It’s the mecca for unhealthy lifestyles,” he said.

That place is a menace!

1. EWWWWWWW! Maybe it was food poisoning. n/t

[onehandle]

2. I'm getting a veggie burger at Drinking Liberally tonight.

Pretty sure I will survive.

[Ecumenist]

3. OMG, another one? Wow, when will people learn? Is it REALLY necessary to eat this amount of food

one sitting?

[Taverner]

4. I'd love to go there - - once

It's not a daily lunch counter type of place, and I would have leftovers for a month

But this is what is commonly referred to as a
"treat"

[Initech]

8. Yeah that's one of those places you try once just to say you've been there.

It's not a place I would frequent by any means unless I was suicidal (which I'm not) but just once just to try.it couldn't hurt. I wouldn't eat anything before or after.

[Taverner]

10. Kind of like my take on Bacon

Once a month I get 4 slices of bacon on a burger, alongside real cheddar cheese and REAL ground beef (no pink slime here!)

[Aerows]

18. Pass the salt

LOL.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

5. We just got a 5 guys in our village...it's a once a month splurge. n/t

[Initech]

7. Ugh - Five Guys over salts their fries. Could barely eat them the last time.(

I'll stick with In-N-Out or my new favorite is a So Cal chain called "The Habit"

[Taverner]

11. Five Guys and In-N-Out are both good

But In-N-Out is hands down the better burger and fries.



Also, if you're ever in San Jose be sure and hit Kirk's Steakburgers



And Mojoburger

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. In n out also serves them without a bun

This means I can have the burger even with gluten allergy. And a burger warped with lettuce and tomato and fries s not that bad calorie wise.

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. In N Out equals vomit on a bun to this girl.

Sorry, I don't get the "cache'" that place gets. Twice I've tried them, twice they have been truly, utterly horrible.

[Aerows]

24. Is that what in and out burger looks like?

We don't have them here. I'm happy we have a Taco Bell, and it is too far away LOL. It isn't even in bicycling distance.

[Taverner]

29. Hard to explain...

But to each his own

I, for one, can't stand KFC

And I go for Popeye's every time instead

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. I can't stand much about fast food though. But everyone talked that place up and it's

the same as them all.

[NuttyFluffers]

46. same here. in n out is gross. only thing good is toasted bun.

fries are yak. burgers are mediocre at best. animal style is vastly overrated. done enough in n out burger that i vowed never to waste my money on their crap again. at least McD's still has killer fries (not as beautiful as the divine double fried in beef tallow fries of the 80s, but we'll never get something from the celestial plane like that again...)

and 5 Guys is just a more expensive, slightly less tasty version of Nations burgers, with nasty french fries.

[Aerows]

19. Dear God that looks delicious

I haven't had lunch yet, and I would be THRILLED if that was on the plate.

[MannyGoldstein]

38. Agreed on the burger

Fonder of 5 Guys fries though.

[JI7]

40. i like Fatburger also

[obamanut2012]

23. Five Guys is great

And was a monthly splurge for me, too, until I gave up meat. I do still go and get their fries. To die for.

[Autumn]

6. She was sitting in a restaurant smoking?

That explains it. I don't know of any restaurant that allows smoking

[Aerows]

20. Me either

I'm pleased others smell the aroma surrounding said story.

[WI_DEM]

9. people who eat that thing are NUTS

[gratuitous]

12. Another stoopid hoomin

Honestly, there is absolutely nothing on this good earth that someone, somewhere won't abuse, whether it's tobacco, food, speed, or practically anything else you can name. Yeah, let's legalize all drugs! Brilliant! I'm just itching to spend the rest of my life going to funerals of people who can't stop, won't stop. Shit, we can't even handle Coca-Cola or hamburgers responsibly. "Gee whiz, lookit this here dumb warning on a blow dryer: 'Do not use in bath or shower.' Like someone would do such a thing!" Yeah, they would, which is why the manufacturer had to put a label on its product to warn people about it.

13. Short term, self correcting problem. n/t

Bonus points for sourcing the quote.

[Aerows]

26. LMAO

I love this thread.

Thanks Google!

[Egalitarian Thug]

43. You mean you haven't even read it? n/t

[Son of Gob]

44. What's reading? n/t

[Egalitarian Thug]

42. ...and Jerry Pournellle. LOL indeed!

Obviously Sci-Fi has a liberal bias (even if many writers of it were libertarians).

[dmallind]

15. Well questions spring to mind

How many people eat there?

How many people have heart attacks?

How many people have heart attacks at venues of any kind visited by the same number of people?

But it's better to snottily preen about others' "lesser" eating choices.

Couple of people playing pro soccer had heart attacks recently didn't they? In a shorter time span too. Far fewer people and hours spent doing that than eating at this place I would imagine. Maybe we should get all superior about idiots chasing a ball around and killing themselves eh?

[tabasco]

21. Yours is the only snotty post in the whole thread. n/t

[Aerows]

25. Until yours. n/t

[Son of Gob]

36. and then yours

and now mine. I'm hungry.

[Autumn]

41. Well now I want a damn cigarette.

Of course if you sit in a restaurant smoking you might collapse.

[Son of Gob]

45. That's why they invented the defibrillator.

22. Trifecta

That poor woman.

[obamanut2012]

28. Honest question: why do you smoke WHILE eating?

I get doing it afterwards, or even right before, but while during? I am not being snide, I really am curious, and am not being anti-smoking.

[HillWilliam]

30. I never smoke whilst eating

During sex, yeah, but only if we're doing it right

[obamanut2012]

49. lol

[NuttyFluffers]

48. true, before or after, but during ruins the burger flavor

but then i also think a good margarita deserves its own space as well, with nearby placed warm tortillas and pico de gallo. a burger like that deserves a massive cherry coke chilled to a perfect 4 degrees celsius. oh, and double fried fries fried in beef tallow, slightly dark and crunchy whilst glistening with a nimbus of sacred grease -- and fresh mayo, ketchup, and mustard nearby so as to create your favorite fry sauces to taste. and then i will roll on it, roll ecstatic upon the starchy ambrosia...

[HillWilliam]

50. One of the four or five things that rate with or above sex

Is a greasy, salty french fry served searingly hot.

[4th law of robotics]

51. For a balanced diet

tobacco is a vegetable right? It's green (at one point).

[Mendocino]

32. She wanted to go there just once

before she died. Now she gets a bonus trip.

[spanone]

33. duh

[Cronkite]

34. I would never eat at that place.

I have given up all fast food in general but I will eat beef from time to time. There is no way I would even consider eating more than a pound of hamburger in one sitting.

[Son of Gob]

37. That place should've never made the burger handoff to begin with. They're gonna kill that poor woman

[JI7]

39. maybe she was attempting suicide ?

but seriously i would go there and try it. but i don't eat that food regularly .

[NuttyFluffers]

47. smoking, drinking, & a burger? there are far worse ways to go...

if i wanted to go with a smile, i know where to go. i think if i planned on it as such, i'd actually be upset if i was resuscitated. i'd hate to be robbed of such a happy ending.
