Yesterday, I introduced you to fat burgers, the backlash against health food. Now I present you with a more extreme version of the same concept: The controversial Heart Attack Grill.
The Heart Attack Grill, located in Phoenix, Arizona, features everything that's bad for you. The menu is full of heart clogging food, plus dangerous combos like cigarettes and beer with your meal.
The staff is dressed in (sexy) nursing attire to help complete the imagery (and anger residents).
Here's a nice bonus: If you can finish the Quadruple Bypass Burger, they'll give you a free push back to your car in a wheelchair.
The t-shirts sum it up, "Heart Attack Grill - Taste Worth Dying For."
