Back in July we ran a post about the 8000 calorie cheeseburger seen above.
Well, it's time to take off the latex gloves because the two heart attack themed burger joints are slugging it out.
Heart Attack Grill in Chandler, Ariz. has sued Heart Stoppers Sports Grill in Delray Beach, Fla. because they say the theme is too similar to their own restaurant.
Both restaurants have fat menus, both have scantily-clad "nurse" waitresses,
both have the EKG design.
At both restaurants, customers over 350 lbs. eat for free.
The only difference? At Heart Attack Grill, customers who finish the biggest burger on the menu get wheeled out of the restaurant in a wheelchair.
At Heart Stoppers, they don't.
According to Heart Attack's owners, the owners of Heart Stoppers were in talks to open a franchise of the Heart Attack Grill before they decided to open their own restaurant in December.
Lawyers for Heart Stoppers say the restaurants are actually different.
"It's not the same concept, the Arizona restaurant's concept is high-caloric food that is bad for you and will basically kill you. My guys have a restaurant that is medically themed . My clients' restaurant seems more like an actual medical facility."
Uh, really? Did they say, a medical facility?
Take a look at their burger (below) and you decided.
