Woman collapses, wheeled out of Las Vegas' Heart Attack Grill
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas appears to have lived up to its name once again -- claiming a second victim after a customer collapsed while chomping on a so-called "double bypass burger."
A woman had been drinking alcohol, eating and smoking when she lost consciousness and fell on the floor Saturday night, KVVU-TV reported Monday.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The woman, aged in her mid forties, was wheeled out by paramedics who arrived within five minutes, said Jon Basso, owner of the hospital-themed restaurant known for its artery-clogging cuisine.
The woman was rushed to a local hospital and expected to recover, KTNV-TV reported. It was not known what caused her to collapse, but Basso told the Los Angeles Times she had apparently gotten what she came for -- a brush with death.
"We attract an avant-garde clientele -- thrill-seekers, risk-takers," he said, adding that his restaurant was "bad for you, but fun" and was popular with "people who don't really take good care of their health."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Heart Attack Grill made headlines in February when a man in his forties chowing down a "triple bypass burger" suffered chest pains midway through his meal.
The eatery, which displays a sign on its door saying, "Caution! This establishment is bad for your health," goes all-out when it comes to unhealthy food items.
The menu offers "flatliner fries," "butterfat milkshakes" and a "quadruple bypass burger" than can exceed 8,000 calories.
