Fat and deadly dose of irony served at "Heart Attack Grill"

Diner suffers cardiac arrest while eating a Triple Bypass Burger in restaurant called the Heart Attack Grill.  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.
  •     Paramedics wheel man in his 40s out of restaurant's Las Vegas branch
  •     He was eating a 6,000-calorie burger when he suffered a heart attack
  •     Triple Bypass Burger contains three slabs of meat, 12 bacon rashes, cheese, red onion, sliced tomato and 'unique special sauce'
Accentuating the medical theme, waitresses dressed as nurses deliver the artery-clogging food. A sign at the entrance to an Arizona restaurant reads: 'Go away. If you come in this place, it’s going to kill you.'  The ad states: 'I personally guarantee a stable upward progression of body weight while you're enjoying great tasting foods. Along with a cold beer and cigarette, it's a diet you can stick to for life.' The advertisement then states the side affects from eating Heart Attack Grill food 'may include sudden weight gain, repeated increase of wardrobe size, back pain, male breast growth, loss of sexual partners, lung cancer, tooth decay and liver sclerosis stroke.
