Wow, what a walking/rolling advertisement- a 40 year old man eating at the Heart Attack Grill down on Fremont St. in Las Vegas has a heart attack and it is caught on camera.
From the Daily Mail: It was always going to be unwise naming a restaurant that glorifies unhealthy food the Heart Attack Grill.
And on Saturday the inevitable happened when a customer suffered a cardiac arrest in the chain's Las Vegas branch.
An onlooker captured video of paramedics wheeling the unidentified man, thought to be in his 40s, out of the fast-food diner.
He was midway through eating a 6,000-calorie Triple Bypass Burger when
The restaurant chain - founded in 2005 using the catchphrase 'Taste Worth Dying For!' - is run by a former nutritionist 'Doctor' Jon Basso who, remarkably, used to run a Jenny Craig weight loss diet centre.
He denied the incident was an elaborate publicity stunt
Mr Basso told Fox News: 'The gentleman could barely talk. He was sweating, suffering.
'I actually felt horrible for him 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.'
The Heart Attack Grill sells calorie-laden fare with names such as Quadruple Bypass Burgers and Flatline Fries.

I haven't been down there yet to see the Heart Attack Grill- it's on my to do list. I am pretty sure, though, I will take an extra high blood pressure pill before I eat there.
Here is the video:
I hope the guy is doing well because it is much too young to have a heart attack, but you get what you pay for.
