Man Has Heart Attack Eating 'Triple Bypass Burger" At Heart Attack Grill

From Yahoo:

This comically tragic story was the first of its kind at the restaurant, whose slogan ‘Taste Worth Dying for’ might need to be rethought after the man was taken out of the eatery by paramedics. Thankfully, he survived.

The infamous American eatery unapologetically serves up calorie-rich and fat-laden food. The burger in question costs £7 ($11.10) and contains a 1.5 pound beef burger served with several slices of processed cheese and the option of 15 slices of bacon for an extra £1. 76 ($2.77).

Shockingly, this isn’t even the unhealthiest item on the menu. The Quadruple Bypass Burger features two pounds of meat, processed cheese and 20 bacon slices for an extra £2.35 ($3.69). Other items on the menu include the butterfat milkshakes, ‘flatliner’ chips fried in pure lard, non-filtered cigarettes and ‘Fat Bastard’ brand wine. 

The staff members at the Heart Attack Grill are given fake medical names to tie in with the theme of the restaurant

‘Nurse’ Bridgett, who was working at the restaurant when the incident occurred, told Fox5 News: "He was having the sweats and shaking.”

The owner of the restaurant, ‘Doctor’ Jon Basso, was shocked by the incident.

"I actually felt horrible for the gentleman because the tourists were taking photos of him as if it were some type of stunt. Even with our own morbid sense of humour, we would never pull a stunt like that," Bosso said. "He was sweating, suffering. Anyone with an ounce of compassion would've felt for him."

The man’s name is being kept private but he is recovering from the heart attack.

This incident might be a wake-up call to an establishment that lets diners over 25 stone eat for free and that features a sign at the door stating that the offered dining fare is a health risk.

Maybe they were just being proactive?

Do think this theme restaurant is funny, or an affront to good health?

Naked Man Walks Into Hellmart and Steals Socks

From Huff Po:

EXTON, Pa. -- A hefty southeastern Pennsylvania man is behind bars after police say he walked naked into a Walmart and stole a pair of socks.

Thirty-two-year-old Verdon Lamont Taylor was arrested Wednesday night after police say he stripped off his clothes in the parking lot of the Exton store and went inside.

Police say surveillance footage shows the 6-foot-4, 300-pound Downingtown man walking around the store. Authorities say they used a stun gun to subdue him after he refused to comply with officers' orders.

Taylor was arraigned on charges including aggravated assault and indecent exposure. He's being held on $50,000 bail at Chester County Prison.

Online court records do not list an attorney for Taylor.

Barista Coffee Company Banks on Sexy Costumes

From HuffPo:

Baristas Coffee Company is making a bet that even if you prefer your coffee iced, you'll appreciate a bit of hotness in your coffee shop experience. The growing chain of drive-thru cafes, based out of Seattle, Wash., has been described as a cross between Hooters and Starbucks. And true to that moniker, it is staffed only by "attractive female baristas" wearing "a variety of appealing costumed-themed attire" -- think skimpy French maid uniforms and lingerie bedecked with angel's wings.

The original store opened in 1996. The 15 years since then may not have brought growth comparable to Five Guys or Starbucks, but they've still been good to the company; it now operates a total of seven stores in Washington and Texas. Baristas has also inked deals with local development companies to open several more outposts in New Jersey, Arizona and in the Tampa area.

That said, Baristas has had its fair share of hiccups along the way. In September, federal officials accused the company of failing to pay its workers as much as they were due. The investigation is ongoing, and is expected to lead to a jury trial in 2013.

And the "sexpresso" business has historically faced an uphill battle across the country. The topless Vietnamese coffee shops of San Jose, Calif. have been fighting back and forth with city for years. One high profile nude coffee shop in Maine was burned to the ground in a brutal arson. And Seattle-based drive-thru chain Grab-n-Go, probably closest analogue to Baristas, found itself embroiled in charges of prostitution.

But Baristas has a secret weapon: reality TV. Just the other day, the company announced that it would hold open casting calls (for women between the ages of 18 and 25, of course) for a new reality TV it's developing based on its service workers. They'll be housed in a domicile called the "Coffee Castle" during filming.

There's nothing more American than coffee, breastaurants and reality TV. (Except maybe apple pie.) We wouldn't bet against you.
