Las Vegas, Nevada: Heart Attack Grill

Scantily clad, unregistered nurses dish out coronary cloggers to patients in hospital gowns, and help the most satisfied diners exit in a wheelchair.

In a city built on the greasy allure of excess, another milestone was reached on July 26, 2021, at the Las Vegas Heart Attack Grill, when competitive eater Matt "Megatoad" Stonie ate an entire 10,000-calorie Octuple Bypass Burger in 4 minutes, 10 seconds. He beat the previous record by over 3.5 minutes.

The Octuple Bypass Burger weighs 6.5 pounds, and includes one tablespoon of mayonnaise, three tablespoons of pure lard, eight slices of American cheese, nine half-pound beef patties, and 20 slices of bacon. It's a menu item that should probably never be eaten at all, never mind wolfed down like a veggie burger.

The Heart Attack Grill is honestly named -- customers have suffered heart attacks and died there -- but Megatoad survived his Rendezvous with Gluttony, apparently unscathed.

News reports did not mention if Megatoad ordered a side of the Heart Attack Grill's famous Flatliner Fries, a Coronary Dog, or a Butterfat Milkshake. Maybe next time.

Great place to visit when it is after hours. Park in self-parking and walk this stretch under the night lights. There is a ton to see. Free music, lots of food, drinks, and gambling.

So good! Spankings looked scary so I made sure to eat all of my single. Also had strawberry shake which was incredible! If you're looking for a filling meal, lots of laughs, and even being punished for all the naughty things you've done while in Sin City, this is the place!

R.I.P. Blair River, spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill. He was only 29, and he weighed 575 pounds. Blair was always a big guy, but he became famous when he began promoting the Grill's mega-menu items such as its Quadruple Bypass Burger. Blair reportedly died of pneumonia, not obesity, and not at The Grill itself, where its waitress staff of "naughty nurses" loved cheerful Blair (a regular customer) and would have done what they could to help him.

Today the Heart Attack Grill website is still showing a classic Blair River spot.
