Bypass the salad, hold the veggies, and ensure your heart is in good condition – because we’re talking about the infamous Heart Attack Grill restaurant chain in the USA. It has made a name for itself by offering meals with names like the “Quadruple Bypass Burger" and the “Flatliner Fries," and has even been known to give free meals to customers who weigh over 350 pounds (or over 158 kilograms). But with all the hype surrounding this high-calorie eatery, it’s not just the food that’s causing a stir. With a name like the Heart Attack Grill, it’s no wonder this fast-food joint has made waves in the culinary world. But beyond its massive, high-calorie menu items, the restaurant has also drawn controversy for its provocative marketing tactics and the severe health risks associated with its food.
The Heart Attack Grill has faced significant backlash through the years for promoting unhealthy eating habits and making light of serious health issues like heart disease. People have accused the restaurant of glorifying dangerous eating habits. But that has not stopped, American Internet celebrity Nikocado Avacado, who is known for his Mukbang videos, to share exactly what the interiors of the home of the Double Bypass Burger look like. Not only are the waitresses dressed as nurses and chefs dressed as doctors, the customers are asked to wear a hospital gown when they enter the establishment.

While many understood that the concept behind the Heart Attack Grill is satirical, some remarked that they were inspired to eat right by watching clips like these. “This man is such an inspiration he encourages me to work out and eat right every single day," wrote a YouTube user.
