The Heart Attack Grill

On March 22, 2008, the grill opens it's doors at 6185 W. Chandler Blvd (Kyrene Blvd & Chandler Road) in Chandler, Arizona

The Heart Attack Grill was founded in 2005 by Jon Basso, with the quoted intent of serving "nutritional pornography", food "so bad for you... it's shocking". The menu includes "Single", "Double", "Triple", and Quadruple Bypass" hamburgers, ranging from half a pound to two pounds of beef, "Flatliner Fries" (cooked in pure lard), cigarettes, beer and liquor, and soft drinks. The names imply coronary artery bypass surgery, referring to the danger of developing arteriosclerosis from the food's high proportion of saturated fat and hugely excessive caloric content.

The Quadruple Bypass burger has 8,000 calories. Customers who finish a Triple or Quadruple Bypass burger are pushed in wheelchairs to their cars by the waitresses. The Heart Attack Grill is a hospital theme restaurant. Basso calls himself "Dr. Jon", and dresses himself in a white doctor's lab coat. Customers are referred to as "patients", orders as "prescriptions" and the waitresses as "nurses".

The waitresses' nurse costumes and behavior have caused the most controversy. The waitresses wear crosses on their nurse hats, thigh-high fishnet stockings, short skirts and low-cut tops. On occasion, they sit at the table with customers while they eat, role-play as nurses, or even jump into the arms of their customers!
