With menu items like "The Quadruple Bypass Burger", and "Flatliner Fries", this place doesn't sound too good if you're on a health kick. But hey, who cares! These massive burgers are the creation of "The Heart Attack Grill", a restaurant in Tempe, Arizona. "The Quadruple Bypass Burger" consists of four slabs of beef weighing a total of 2lbs, three cheese layers, four bacon rashers, lettuce and tomato. The record of eating one of these mammoth beasts was broken the other day by Jed Donahue, with a time of 3 Minutes and 55 seconds! The "contraversy" stirred up in part by the Nurses Union is a funny read too. Apparently they believe there might be confusion as to whether these nurses are real or not... hahah... lighten up I say! (you can read about that, here)
