Might as well highjack the top comment to provide a bit of context.
Originally this restaurant was designed SPECIFCALLY to bring attention to America's obesity problem. The restaurant owner is / was an actual doctor who was fed up with how bad the obesity problem in the US was. So if you go in there and start reading the menu and all the notes, it will explain exactly how unhealthy their stuff is.
The owner has been on multiple news shows specifically for it since it was to bring attention to it. Needless to say, he did not reduce obesity in the US.
It indicates a small reverence for a person they don’t know. A person now remembered only for the sake of being remembered, not for who they were or anything they did in life.
One of the coolest bars ive been to was a crab shack near the beach and had the og owners ashes in a cowboy boot hanging above the bar, also their shots were just a red solo cup filled up half way lol.
Red solo cups actually have the markings so you can measure a shot, a serving of wine and a serving of beer. The company says that’s not what they’re for, but it totally is.
Solo Cup does admit it openly on their website.
From Solo FAQs:
What do the lines on the SOLO cup mean?
**You seek the answer to one of the greatest mysteries of our time. Launched in the 1970’s, our original 18 oz SOLO Cup featured lines that roughly equaled 1, 5 and 12 ounces.** These lines mean something different for everyone! For some, it means a responsible pour at their next tailgate. For others, it means a more secure grip as they man the grill at the BBQ. And for our littler fans, it means they can stack and unstack our cups into a pyramid without them sticking together. Today, our party cup has no lines. Whether it’s lines, grips, or a square base, one thing our cup always means is good times are on the horizon.
I remember seeing this place on some tv show over a decade ago back in college and my roommate and I theorized the owner had a burning hatred for obese people and was using the restaurant to kill as many of them as possible.
lmao he didn’t want to bring attention to the obesity problem, he wanted to bring attention to himself and his obesity restaurant. the closest actual point being made here is that we shouldn’t force kids to overeat or be punished, but if all they do is provide written sections on how unhealthy burgers are then who is this helping?
Yeah. If this was to get attention to the issue, continuing the restaurant for years after it got the attention it wanted, and after it caused the death of a customer, it really seems kinda odd. Like, it has evidently not done anything to actually combat obesity and, if anything, it has worsened the problem.
If you warn the customer of all the risks what more can you do? The fella killed himself with poor diet and little to no exercise, the restaurant is about making people feel shame and take responsibility for their actions
Jon Basso (the owner) wasn't a doctor. He owned a fitness center and a Jenny Craig franchise, which is for weight loss. He was a fitness instructor who got sick of seeing people be gluttonous, so he decided to make money off of it. He doesn't hide anything. He shows the contents of his food and tells people it's unhealthy. He let's them make the decision. Anything bad happens it's good for business as he says. He even says in an interview that he's not a doctor and never has been.
Oh, so my information is massively outdated or I am misremembering. I only remember him from the first news articles when it first came out.
Thank you for the clarification.
Serving sizes are insane and no take home if I remember correctly. Even in Vegas, I'm not overpaying for food that I'm not going to be able to finish or take home with me. I'm also not into being spanked for not over eating.
Lmao yup, wooden paddle with holes in it, wielded by a 40 year old man with a wind up like you think he'd wanna put that bastard right through your pelvis. It was fucking PAINFUL. But god i loved being a smartass. Lol
And the teacher would ask you how old you were and if you wanted it in the hallway or in front of the class .The paddle would say "The board of education "on it.
Hell I have Crohns and I still want to go to this place even though it'll probably bring me out of remission with a single meal, even if I stuck to just a two-patty burger.
No they go because it’s free for 350 and up duh… it’s on Fremont and it’s actually not thatttt expensive so it’s realistically one of the better options in the area (I live just down the street)
Apparently, some contain castoreum and/or glycerin..? But nothing I've done in-depth research on, read about it once, and it kinda stuck; so who knows, I'm probably just making a fool of myself with some BS "fact" 😅
Yeah I went once with my brother and dad. Honestly the food was just whatever not even that good and really overpriced because of the novelty. Wouldn’t recommend
I remember downing my fries then my burger and ONLY being told I just needed to finish burger after. Took every ounce of concentration out of me to just get everything down, stop my self from throwing up, and not commit a homicide in there.
In the end, still got spanked because my friend told them too anyway while walking out. Was super close to cracking my phone that I couldn’t replace at the time. Worst night in Vegas.
I agree with everything except the chocolate shake. When I went the chocolate shake was the best shake I’ve ever had. (Remove the butter on top though lol)
The owner of this place is very self aware about how unhealthy the food is and makes no effort to try and tiptoe around the issue when he's asked about it. He knows its bad for you, he just wishes more people took that seriously.
Because people are mad that they cannot control themselves with the addition of refusing to blame themselves. It's like seeing a barrier across the street, to not walk on the wet cement, willingly doing so anyways and getting upset about it after. The owner of heart attack grill was a fitness instructor, the amount of times people did not follow his advice made him think of opening a truly unhealthy restaurant. He is not hiding anything, he has no secrets.
All the stupidity comes from people determined to keep his business going. Exactly the same with another wonderful guy on this sub, Nusrat.
Damn that was basically his villain arc, if they weren't gonna listen to him, he'd kill them (well, they'd kill themselves, but it's funnier to imagine he just went rogue and decided to fuck everyone over isntead)
For rage bait with stolen content for easy karma farming. They didn't even credit the original creator [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hWF9fAlnrPo](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hWF9fAlnrPo) .
I think Reddit should have a rule and a system where if you do not cite the original primary source, your karma goes down for every upvote.
He knows that. He said he became so disillusioned with his clients that he decided if he's going to profit off of the obesity crisis, he may as well grow his earnings. (He said it much less charitably than that). He became a full blown cynic.
IIRC they also have super obese person to be their spokesperson and they eat for free, I even think if you weigh over a limit you eat for free. There is a rapper Billy the Fridge from Seattle and he was telling a story when he was at his heaviest and went to that restaurant THE owner came to meet him, he was looking for new spokesman because previous passed away... of heart attack >\_>
Been there. Buddy was high out of his mind, didn’t finish his food. Visibly flinched every time someone got spanked. Took leftovers and stuffed down his pants in attempt to avoid spanking. Didn’t work out for him.
Also the food generally sucks.
I love this Restaurant, it is so honest in that it is bad for you and the owner also is so savegely honest, he literly has the ashes of someone who died there in a plasic bag. And still people go there daily
nah i dont buy his reasoning. its comparable to seeking out crack addicts to sell crack to and justifying it by saying: "I'm only doing this to show the world how unhealthy crack is". he is clearly part of the problem, while claiming to be part of the sollution.
If you smoked crack this morning, your next crack rock is free.
Yeah, I think his reasoning is total bullshit. He's not trying to make people aware eating like this will kill people anymore. He got pissed off people didn't listen to him and decided "fuck it, I'll sell food to the fatties"
he isnt just selling unhealty food, he is basically telling, shouting and showing that eating this amount of food will literaly kill them. If despite all that people still go there willingly, there is no amount of convincing that will help those people, might as well be an example for others not to follow. Even if this restaurant doesnt exist these people will go to Mcdonalds or any other fast food chain anyways
>he is basically telling, shouting and showing that eating this amount of food will literaly kill them
While having a policy that people over 350 pounds eat there for free. Like... this is some bullshit way to help obesity. I don't buy the reasoning at all. He has this restaurant to make money while pretending to be concerned about obesity to avoid negative attention.
I have a little theory about it, and Im thinking that with how the scale is built and how public it is, it would serve as a moment of self reflection for the person standing on it. IMO, the scale says "you are so big, that the restaurant is going to give you even more fattening food for absolutely free. Are you proud of that?"
I agree, the concept screams self-reflection time. Otherwise, you're just casually throwing your life away at that point if you accept the free offers. Like having a deal with the gluttony devil or something.
I saw an interview with the owner. He said he used to be some sort of health coach (dietician or fitness related) and he had so many clients unwilling to put in the work to lose weight. So he figured if he's going to make money off of fat people (his words) he should grow the business model.
His entire act is satirical. He hates fat people but he knows they will still eat at his restaurant and he encourages them to do so because it makes him more money. He's become a full blown cynic who wants to capitalize off of the obesity crisis.
When he proudly explained that two people have died in his restaurant so far, one of whom is on display in the restaurant (the former spokesperson is supposedly in an urn) the interviewer was so disgusted with him they basically ended the interview.
Why would this dickbag order that much food knowing he is going to throw it away after consuming 3% of his meal. I mean I know why, fucking tiktok/influencer bullshit clicks. But still man, an animal died for this and you’re throwing it’s life away.
Hmm was going to say NFL lineman’s could go eat for free but searches say they’re on average 315 lbs, so I guess not.
Although maybe a few of them could
That place is in Vegas. It was cool until this [happened](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/heart-attack-grill-spokesperson-dies-from-heart-attack-owner-says/).
Why does that restaurant always look so empty when they do these shows. Sometimes I wonder if it's just a place to do videos and it's not really open for the public
I don’t particularly enjoy how they are sexualizing nurses. Because working as a nurse I see patients of all sizes flirt with us and we should not be promoting obesity by having free food if you weigh a certain amount.
Did anyone else notice the sign on the door saying no smoking, and then berating the government for making that rule? What a shitty take. I wonder what other terrible opinions they have.
Visited this place while in Vegas. Burgers were difficult to eat because they were so dry and flavorless. They don't provide any condiments besides additional bacon you have to order. Just a dry burger with greasy bacon. Two men were in there who claimed to be over 350. They actually had a scale and weighed them. When they weighed over 350 everyone cheered. It was a trip.
The heart attack grill is a fantastic testament to American gluttony, forget about the tourists who go there to eat a burger and get spanked.
The true magic of this restaurant comes from the owner, who worked in healthcare and was tired of serving people who couldn’t control their own eating habits and opened a restaurant so absurdly unhealthy that no sane person would ever wanna eat there. Even going as far as to give people over 350 lbs free food and have a morbidly obese spokesperson, many of whom have died. In fact several morbidly obese people have died in, or outside of this restaurant, yet people keep coming.
Anyone who are angry at this guy need only blame the people who still choose to eat here as well as the American eating culture, if not for those with the inability to control themselves then this establishment would have gone out of business years ago. The heart attack grill is a monument to one of the most damaging factors to American health, caused entirely by our own gluttony
This place is actually pretty good, and ironic to boot. Owners a doctor who originally did it to bring awareness to the obesity epidemic, but then it took off like this. Now, it’s an attraction. But if you go in, it tells you all about how unhealthy their food is lmao.
I went there once because my brother really wanted to go. Honestly, the most mediocre burger I think I've ever had. Little to no seasoning, and just not really good. Only saving grace was the toppings, but even then that's not saying much.
Wouldn't be surprising if people go to this restaurant for kink reasons.

He also has someone’s ashes at the restaurant lmao
My fav bar has someone’s ashes in it. The bars changed owners, no one knows who it is anymore, but it’s there.
I like this story and I’m not sure why
Sounds like the beginning of a dnd quest.
Or the unfortunate beginnings to another cursed drink a la [Sourtoe Cocktail](https://youtu.be/kHMNX3IXnvs?si=C-aUdbeUYuw69Q2z).
It indicates a small reverence for a person they don’t know. A person now remembered only for the sake of being remembered, not for who they were or anything they did in life.

It's Dave. He's pulling shifts until he's paid his tab off.
Dave is the new bar owner, so yah close haha
The time paradoxical barkeep. An endless stream of Daves. From glasses to ashes.
Not just anyone's ashes. They're the ashes of a customer who died of a heart attack while eating at Heart Attack Grill.
Owners a true chaotic neutral
Poor Upton Sinclair ‘I aimed at the public's heart and by accident I hit it in the stomach’
Turns out "the plight of the abused, exploited worker" isn't as compelling as "THERE ARE PEOPLE IN MY LARD"
I don't think he was actually a doctor, he just branded himself that way as part of his shtick.
I remember seeing this place on some tv show over a decade ago back in college and my roommate and I theorized the owner had a burning hatred for obese people and was using the restaurant to kill as many of them as possible.
Just as likely a reason for such a restaurant.
lmao he didn’t want to bring attention to the obesity problem, he wanted to bring attention to himself and his obesity restaurant. the closest actual point being made here is that we shouldn’t force kids to overeat or be punished, but if all they do is provide written sections on how unhealthy burgers are then who is this helping?

if huge burgers and a spanking won't do it i'm out of ideas.
..... technically correct..... And no, I am good and do not wish to solicit new ideas....

Oh, so my information is massively outdated or I am misremembering. I only remember him from the first news articles when it first came out. Thank you for the clarification.
No worries always good to be updated haha. You got most of it correct.
I've been there. Walked in, looked around, walked out. Not for me.
Is it as weird as the video makes it look? The excessive amounts of food would turn me off or just take 80% home for the rest of the week.
Serving sizes are insane and no take home if I remember correctly. Even in Vegas, I'm not overpaying for food that I'm not going to be able to finish or take home with me. I'm also not into being spanked for not over eating.
Wait, you can't even take it home? Yeah no, that i an absolutely waste of food then. Wow.
They actually have a large vegan menu with super healthy foods just no one talks about that.
Wait really? When I looked it up and the “vegan menu” was a pack of cigarettes lmao
I can't find it either. I don't think the parent is being honest.
That’s the joke…
It’s not really a joke unless you already know the vegan menu was just cigarettes which is why I provided context…
If you don’t think googling “vegan menu at heart attack grill” and just finding a pack of cigarettes is funny, I don’t know what to tell you.
Alright guy, I don’t know what your point is lol. I found the joke funny? Which is why I wrote “lmao” if you were confused…
He is absolutely not a real doctor and his stance is “if you’re gunna be fat then hurry up and die already”. This is a Schtick man lol
This is a crossover of so many kinks it’s like the kink avengers
It's on my bucket list for this exact reason
Was coming here to say I'd have to go home and fuck my wife immediately after that
With 9,000 calories of burger in your belly?
They're trying NOT to finish the meal so i bet they eat like 4 bites and call it a day
"I'm not a big boy, I couldn't finish the big burgwer"
"I went to private school where when i let go of my ankles during a swatting we start over. Is that a thing here?"
I feel like that comment just taught me a thing I didn't need to know
Lmao yup, wooden paddle with holes in it, wielded by a 40 year old man with a wind up like you think he'd wanna put that bastard right through your pelvis. It was fucking PAINFUL. But god i loved being a smartass. Lol
And the teacher would ask you how old you were and if you wanted it in the hallway or in front of the class .The paddle would say "The board of education "on it.
Gotta have fuel for the ride. And it's gonna be a round trip.
What?
You heard the man
He said: "HE WOULD GO HOME AND FUCK HIS WIFE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT."
Hell I have Crohns and I still want to go to this place even though it'll probably bring me out of remission with a single meal, even if I stuck to just a two-patty burger.
Forreal im ordering the smallest burger, and just taking one bite. Fucking sign me up
I'd be fucking amazed if they didn't.
No they go because it’s free for 350 and up duh… it’s on Fremont and it’s actually not thatttt expensive so it’s realistically one of the better options in the area (I live just down the street)
I might develop a kink after visiting it
Lol have you seen the waitress'? Good LORD! I would go full well knowing I wasn't going to finish 😂
I'd be more surprised if people just went for the food tbh
Their vegan menu is literally a cigarette
That’s hilarious
I’m cry laughing in the library
Is CLIL the new ROFL
What's extra funny is that most cigarette brands are not actually vegan
Lol really, how? Sorry I’m neither a vegan nor a smoker so I really don’t know. 😅
Apparently, some contain castoreum and/or glycerin..? But nothing I've done in-depth research on, read about it once, and it kinda stuck; so who knows, I'm probably just making a fool of myself with some BS "fact" 😅
I believe you. There are a lot of things that are surprisingly not vegan. I’ve heard red dye, and even sugar!
Scrolling only to get flash backs to when a friend of mine made a group of us go without any prior information.
Yeah I went once with my brother and dad. Honestly the food was just whatever not even that good and really overpriced because of the novelty. Wouldn’t recommend
Food was awful couldn’t finish my single burger. I told them to spank me if they must, but I’m not eating that garbage
I remember downing my fries then my burger and ONLY being told I just needed to finish burger after. Took every ounce of concentration out of me to just get everything down, stop my self from throwing up, and not commit a homicide in there. In the end, still got spanked because my friend told them too anyway while walking out. Was super close to cracking my phone that I couldn’t replace at the time. Worst night in Vegas.
Lol wtf I am sure they don’t spank you if you don’t want to be, just say no
You are correct. You aren't forced to wear the hospital gown or get spanked, but they are going pressure younand guilt you the entire time.
I’ll add that they got me with it on my way out the door. Didn’t see it coming
I have a beef allergy so i extra regretted eating it. Was pretty vile
I agree with everything except the chocolate shake. When I went the chocolate shake was the best shake I’ve ever had. (Remove the butter on top though lol)
#*BUTTER*?!
Looks really dry
It's not lol it's all cooked in fat and butter. The chilli was actually pretty decent.
The waitress that slapped him had a good form. I think she played softball/baseball before.
Her footwork was on point
I went here last summer and they DO NOT hold back the slaps. My ass stung for a good while.
Okay I'm sold. I *have* to go there.
My ex would go there just for the spanking at the end.
I think she'd probably be going just to eat for free, honestly.
>I think she'd probably be going just to eat for free, honestly. Top. Shelf.
Gotteem
The owner of this place is very self aware about how unhealthy the food is and makes no effort to try and tiptoe around the issue when he's asked about it. He knows its bad for you, he just wishes more people took that seriously.
exactly. not sure why this restaurant is on this sub.
Because people are mad that they cannot control themselves with the addition of refusing to blame themselves.

I think Reddit should have a rule and a system where if you do not cite the original primary source, your karma goes down for every upvote.
You don't know why a restaurant that serves comically large burgers, makes you wear a hospital gown and spanks you is on a stupid food sub?
It looks pretty stupid to me, whether or not he's serving a niche.
If you look for the vegan option on the menu it recommends cigarettes lol
Ngl it's interesting to choose to profit off of something you admit you're against. "Yes I'm a drug dealer but I hate watching people do drugs"
Exactly where my mind went. Whatever point the guy thinks he’s making he is still a part of the problem.
He knows that. He said he became so disillusioned with his clients that he decided if he's going to profit off of the obesity crisis, he may as well grow his earnings. (He said it much less charitably than that). He became a full blown cynic.
The spankings and sexy nurse outfit def seem counter to his point...
Oh that's an easy why to answer. They loathe the addict as much as they loathe the addiction.
Fun fact, Jon Basso the owner was a fitness trainer before he started the Heart Attack Grill.
> he just wishes more people took that seriously Yeah he proceeds to make a complete joke of it.
That’s what happens when you give up on humanity I guess
I get that. But I think it’s pretty insane to encourage the morbidly obese to eat their food regularly by way of being free (for the morbidly obese).
Because the restaurant is stupid. The concept is gluttonous and glorifies over consumption.
Oh waitress, that’s the 9th burger I’ve been unable to finish. Might as well tie me to the post at this point OwO
I haven't been allowed a free meal in this restaurant since last year September Yaaay
Congratulations dude
IIRC they also have super obese person to be their spokesperson and they eat for free, I even think if you weigh over a limit you eat for free. There is a rapper Billy the Fridge from Seattle and he was telling a story when he was at his heaviest and went to that restaurant THE owner came to meet him, he was looking for new spokesman because previous passed away... of heart attack >\_>
Died at the age of like 27 or 29
>I even think if you weigh over a limit you eat for free. The dude said as much literally 3 seconds into the video lol
Must have missed it... I blame being tired after work and selective hearing :D
Didnt the owner bring the ashes of their obese spokesperson that died to an interview?
It was either the spokesperson or the first person to die in the restaurant. I can't remember which.
> I even think if you weigh over a limit you eat for free. They literally say this in the first 6 seconds of the video.
Fucking love Billy the fridge. Glad he's been losing some weight.
Could you maybe have “heard” this in the video?
She looks like she would have a very natural golf swing
Not to be that guy but goddamn is this wasteful
people take their food and drinks home with them. idk what world people live in where they eat 10% of the food and just leave it there.
Damn it America. It's impossible to not love you.
They do have some interesting ideas, I'll give em that
Been there. Buddy was high out of his mind, didn’t finish his food. Visibly flinched every time someone got spanked. Took leftovers and stuffed down his pants in attempt to avoid spanking. Didn’t work out for him. Also the food generally sucks.
“tHiS iS tHe cRaZiEsT [insert thing] iVe eVeR sEeN” My god, do I despise youtubers
I love this Restaurant, it is so honest in that it is bad for you and the owner also is so savegely honest, he literly has the ashes of someone who died there in a plasic bag. And still people go there daily
How do they not go out of business with so many morbidly obese eating free?
no, this is a good thing, you don't know the story behind it
nah i dont buy his reasoning. its comparable to seeking out crack addicts to sell crack to and justifying it by saying: "I'm only doing this to show the world how unhealthy crack is". he is clearly part of the problem, while claiming to be part of the sollution.

Please enlighten me, I'm intrigued now
There's an interesting and well made video about that restaurant here, made by SunnyV2 https://youtu.be/a8MlDZ2EFqs
I’d finish the food and still ask for a spank 😉
Glorifying is really fucking dangerous
I’d wouldn’tsay this place is glorifying obesity. http://www.heartattackgrill.com/press.html The whole point is to shame its customers
Yea if I got spanked after eating all that I'd prob shit myself
lol Damn, I’ve lost too much weight to eat for free anymore.
She kinda bad tho.
Nothing says "great food" like "you must wear a hospital gown and if you don't finish your food you get a spanking"
I’m literally so horny right now.
I'm shocked it's not located in Japan.
I saw an interview with the owner. He said he used to be some sort of health coach (dietician or fitness related) and he had so many clients unwilling to put in the work to lose weight. So he figured if he's going to make money off of fat people (his words) he should grow the business model. His entire act is satirical. He hates fat people but he knows they will still eat at his restaurant and he encourages them to do so because it makes him more money. He's become a full blown cynic who wants to capitalize off of the obesity crisis. When he proudly explained that two people have died in his restaurant so far, one of whom is on display in the restaurant (the former spokesperson is supposedly in an urn) the interviewer was so disgusted with him they basically ended the interview.
No thanks.
Nobody is going to mention that he looks exactly like Edward Norton in Primal Fear? https://cdn4.whatculture.com/images/2016/01/k7JBgfYZ-600x338.jpg
GTA 6 graphics looking amazing
This restaurant has been in Vegas for years. Plus its vegas everything in Vegas gets. No food products made in Vegas fit this sub.
Why would this dickbag order that much food knowing he is going to throw it away after consuming 3% of his meal. I mean I know why, fucking tiktok/influencer bullshit clicks. But still man, an animal died for this and you’re throwing it’s life away.
I imagine doggy bags are very popular there.
He can take the "leftovers" home? The burger patties taste fine if you reheat them in an airfryer
Yeah feels weird that they even sell that there, cause I imagine this happens like 90% of the time someone order that burger
BeardMeatsFood did a video at this place.
That burger doesn’t even look good 😩
America is fucking weird
What a waste of food
Cash only? Owner is pocketing a lot of money
I hate everything about this.
Can I go some place where I can eat and just get spanked too? Honestly I just wanna get spanked
Repeat customers are messed up
Isn't this an episode of The Boondocks?
This has angered a wrath from inside me that I did not know was possible
This feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen
Did that burger look dry AF, or what?
And then he went home and bought a paddle online!
Wrong sub, this place is awesome.
Is nobody going to mention those honest to god fantastic TATAS?
Hmm was going to say NFL lineman’s could go eat for free but searches say they’re on average 315 lbs, so I guess not. Although maybe a few of them could
This dude sucks
Not stupid food…lethal food
I'm so ashamed of humanity
Cash Only..is it a money laundering operation??
That place is in Vegas. It was cool until this [happened](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/heart-attack-grill-spokesperson-dies-from-heart-attack-owner-says/).
A friend of mine saw this on Diners Drive ins and Dives and wanted to go just for that. Idiot.
This restaurant is just the real life equivalent of “come on, I shot those puppies *ironically* to prove a point about how shooting puppies is bad!”
Stupid people getting themselves killed through all this fatty food, all is right in the world
Why does that restaurant always look so empty when they do these shows. Sometimes I wonder if it's just a place to do videos and it's not really open for the public
I don’t particularly enjoy how they are sexualizing nurses. Because working as a nurse I see patients of all sizes flirt with us and we should not be promoting obesity by having free food if you weigh a certain amount.
I feel DUMBER
Ate here. Felt like shit and I only ate a single. Also u don't have to finish the fries.
Wait this is my friend Parker, I know he’s focusing on making videos but it’s crazy that it got posted here!
I remember hearing about this restaurant, but I didn't put 2 and 2 together that it was a fetish thing until now.
Yeah bet they got bath room specials to unclog the pipes
This is so wrong on so many levels
This place is awful. Supposedly, some of the servers got assault charges brought against them for spanking the customers too hard.
Did anyone else notice the sign on the door saying no smoking, and then berating the government for making that rule? What a shitty take. I wonder what other terrible opinions they have.
Waste of food
So much waste. I hate it.
Visited this place while in Vegas. Burgers were difficult to eat because they were so dry and flavorless. They don't provide any condiments besides additional bacon you have to order. Just a dry burger with greasy bacon. Two men were in there who claimed to be over 350. They actually had a scale and weighed them. When they weighed over 350 everyone cheered. It was a trip.
Dude, I hate America. Wasting food as a paying concept is no flex.
The heart attack grill is a fantastic testament to American gluttony, forget about the tourists who go there to eat a burger and get spanked. The true magic of this restaurant comes from the owner, who worked in healthcare and was tired of serving people who couldn’t control their own eating habits and opened a restaurant so absurdly unhealthy that no sane person would ever wanna eat there. Even going as far as to give people over 350 lbs free food and have a morbidly obese spokesperson, many of whom have died. In fact several morbidly obese people have died in, or outside of this restaurant, yet people keep coming. Anyone who are angry at this guy need only blame the people who still choose to eat here as well as the American eating culture, if not for those with the inability to control themselves then this establishment would have gone out of business years ago. The heart attack grill is a monument to one of the most damaging factors to American health, caused entirely by our own gluttony
All of that is disgusting
This place looks so fun
Id go there eat one bite and then say im not hungry anymore :0
This place is actually pretty good, and ironic to boot. Owners a doctor who originally did it to bring awareness to the obesity epidemic, but then it took off like this. Now, it’s an attraction. But if you go in, it tells you all about how unhealthy their food is lmao.
I went there once because my brother really wanted to go. Honestly, the most mediocre burger I think I've ever had. Little to no seasoning, and just not really good. Only saving grace was the toppings, but even then that's not saying much.
