Title: Heart Attack Grill
Post by: Jim on Apr 22, 2009, 09:33:04 AM
Chris (jrdep169) sent this to me and I just had to share it with everyone.  It's not current news but is definitely newsy!  This is definitely a novel idea and something completely different.

Would you eat there?

I enjoy a good burger once in a while too but even those look to be a bit in excess.

I couldn't eat a double much less a quadruple! They do look good though!

Oh!  And where are the hunky male nurses????

Well I didn't see any male nurses, but the owner was about to get into trouble for calling them nurses.  Seems the Arizona Nurses group took offense.  Dateline even did a story on that.

8,000 CALORIES.  That's like my whole day worth of food.  I wouldn't finish the first level....ew..."You got one life, enjoy it"? What's there to enjoy...fat gobbling down your throat?  Seriously...?  The end was funny :P  "I think my hearts on this side..".

Disgusting.

This is quite funny. I may look this place up on my travels someday. Tempe isn't that far away from me. I enjoy a good burger now and then but wouldn't attempt a triple or a quad. I only eat between 1000-1500 calories a day. Most days.
California has so many laws regarding food and health issues now in our restaurants. I no longer eat Fench fries because of the aftertaste the 'healthy' oil has. Nor anything else fried here. I fry my own when I get a real craving.
I really dislike having my choices monitored by the government. I want to be free to choose my healthy food. Or occasional splurge into the unhealthy, tasty stuff.

What is going to shut that place down is a law suit brought by a customer.  Remember when the mother of an obese teen sued McDonald's because she said her son became obese eating there.  He at there 3 times a day while she worked for I don't remember how long.  And the person who sued somewhere because the coffee burned them when they spilled it on their lap.  Someone's going to have a heart attack then say they didn't see the sign that said it wasn't a real medical establishment and they didn't realize that 8 patties of beef had cholesterol and on and on.

I can't remember where I was the other day but I noticed that NOT adults but the kids are getting soooo fat.  Blubbery fat - all ages.  It's so sad.

Kids and blubbery fat are the fault of parents. Working  so hard they don't have the time or energy to attend to their kids individual needs.  It is a sad merry-go-round. Earning the money for the electronic babysitters that help turn kids into couch potatoes. A lot of fast food or convenience foods without thought to total nutrition. Education systems that don't have time between tests to teach health and nutrition so the next generation will be floundering also.
Mac Donald's was around all of my life. It was born in  my home town before it went nationwide. But it was a twice a year treat not a weekly or more thing. It is a sad state of affairs but government intervention is not the answer, I don't think.

I agree about government intervention.  Was that was only because of the nurse thing though and not the fat content?  And I'm not offended about the nurse part of it.

I love how the nurse was dancing for the customers at 3:19 :P

Yeah, its a cute video.  I love a good burger too but don't think I would go for the big one.  The double would be about it for me.

I couldn't imagine putting all that fat into my body at one sitting... :Wacko:

I saw that on tv. I thought it was stupid. The nurses didn't do a thing for me, but honestly I could go for one of those burgers.

Looks like the bypass hamburger has claimed another life...

Wasn't very professional of them when they were reporting a death, was it? :(

The lady today is in hospital recovering, so far.

I misread. I thought she had died...

I hope, when I die, it leaves people smiling.

You are not allowed to die, Tina. I will cry... :'(

The appetizer  of chili cheese nachos at Applebees has 1600 calories.   And it's just the appetizer.

With an appetizer carrying that many calories, I guess you can't have anything else!

I won a radio trivia contest one time. The question was "what is the #1 complaint about restaurant food?" And the answer is portion sizes being too large.

Post by: Tina on May 11, 2012, 09:01:08 PM
If I'm paying those prices, I like to make a couple of meals out of it. Doggy bags are nice!

A lot of times when we go out to eat, I bring half home with me. Sure is good for breakfast the next day, but I would prefer smaller portions and a smaller price... :grinnnn:
