The Heart Attack Grill saw its name in action yesterday when a diner suffered a heart attack at the restaurant. The man was eating a 6,000-calorie Triple Bypass Burger at the Las Vegas branch of the restaurant. Moments later, he was wheeled out of the restaurant after a waitress - dressed as a nurse, as part of the restaurant's gimmick - called 911. At the restaurant, owner Jon Basso calls himself "Dr. John" and his waitresses "nurses." Diners wear hospital gowns. The restaurant's slogan is "A taste worth dying for."
CBS This Morning sat down with the "doc" himself - and what did he have to say? "Who doesn't want to risk a little danger once in a while?". "I'm here to tell you straight up that I'm here to make a buck," Basso said. "Anything that's legal that you want to eat or drink that's fun, that enriches your life at the moment, I will sell it to you. If I could put danger back into hamburgers, all the better."
I wonder if owner Jon would feel the same if it were HE that was being wheeled into the ambulance, or one of his loved ones, as is shown on the video that went viral. It's always a bit different when you personalize some accountability. Can you imagine if this guy was in charge of our children's meals at school?
