He was eating a 6,000-calorie hamburger called a “Triple Bypass Burger” when he suffered cardiac arrest. The restaurant owner, Jon Basso, had to call an ambulance and the customer was taken to hospital.

The Heart Attack Grill hit the headlines for its attitude to dining. Some of the high-fat meals on the menu contain as many as 10,000 calories. There is even a warning on the door that the food is bad for your health. Customers at the restaurant are called “patients” and the waiters and waitresses take “prescriptions” as orders. Patients who weigh more than 158 kg get to eat for free. Mr Basso had a special TV commercial promoting his restaurant. He tells people: “I personally guarantee a stable increase of body weight.” The ad warns of possible side-effects that include; “repeated increase of wardrobe size, back pain, male breast growth, loss of partners, tooth decay and…in some cases, death may occur”.
