The Vegas-based Heart Attack Grill makes no bones about the danger its offerings pose to customers. The restaurant’s name warns diners what to expect if they eat what’s on the menu, and the grill’s 10,000 calorie ‘Quadruple Bypass Burger’ conveys a similarly ominous message. Now, the establishment’s owner has taken his campaign to prove his food’s lethality to the next level by displaying a dead customer’s cremated remains on live television.
On Thursday, Jon Basso, Heart Attack Grill’s well-spoken founder, appeared on Bloomberg’s In the Loop with Betty Liu to discuss his restaurant’s deadly fare. “I’m probably the only restaurateur in the entire world who is unapologetically telling you that my food is bad for you, that it will kill you, and you should stay away from it,” said Basso.
He then revealed a clear plastic bag filled with a powder-like substance. “I’m here with the cremated remains of someone who died at my restaurant. He died of a heart-attack at my restaurant, and I’m putting the bag clearly on the table. I wish that Burger King, McDonalds, and everyone else would do the same thing.”
“John, wait… hold on one second,” sputtered a clearly shocked Liu. “This is getting a little grim. You’re saying you have the actual cremated remains of someone who died at your restaurant?”
“Absolutely,” replied Basso, “because the entire fast-food industry is pretty grim.”
While the cremation stunt may represent new ground for the Heart Attack Grill founder, Basso’s efforts to promote the danger his food poses are nothing new. The restaurateur, who is known for wearing a doctor’s outfit to highlight his food’s medical consequences, has previously bragged that those who dine at his grill are the “avant-garde of risk takers.” He even offers customers weighing 350 pounds or more the option to eat for free. It should then come as no surprise that multiple customers have died at the grill, including two spokespeople, and that one man was wheeled away in a stretcher after trying to finish a burger.
But according to Basso, he’s just trying to teach people a lesson about healthy eating in an industry averse to honestly.
“The end result of our eating habits is all around us,” Basso told an incredulous Liu. “It’s an obesity epidemic that is killing the world.”
“Do I want others to die at my restaurant? No. Actually I want to wake up one morning and open the door and have no one ever come in again, because maybe the world would have learned the truth,” added the owner. “Now, I make good money joking about how bad my food is. But at least I’m honest.”
However, Liu wasn’t buying the sales pitch. “It’s not a joke,” the anchor shot back. “You have people actually dying from your food, John. I mean, isn’t there some responsibility here?”

It was featured on BBC and they are proud of their gimmick too. You eat free if you are above 300lb


Straight up demonic sh!t right there 
That happened to me too. Oddly enuff a slight increase in calories actually jump started the weight loss again. Add more healthy protein and fats and veggies. The manly health men probably got the science reasoning behind this stuff.motherfukk this thread

Its literal audacity to add vegetables to these meals lmao
Lettuce from a restaraunt doesn't.Lettuce has no nutritional value.
So, eating it is a lie to begin with.

Reverse dieting is what you did and is effective for breaking plateaus.That happened to me too. Oddly enuff a slight increase in calories actually jump started the weight loss again. Add more healthy protein and fats and veggies. The manly health men probably got the science reasoning behind this stuff.
All i know is my body said "bytch that's it on the food?! Aight bet!" And started trying to hold on to fat...especially when I started working out.
Had me mad as hell. Lol!
A lot of women fail at dieting because they confuse it with eating less and an occasional salad here and there instead of what you figured out.That happened to me too.
