Our restaurant advisor focus on food fads is all about what you should not be eating or will at some restaurant chains. It is also about a return to comfort food that is not about eating right but feeling good about what you are eating. As reported in ABC News, this chain is opening a third location in Las Vegas and serving up its trademark high calorie burger to boot. According to the article: – “If you’re going to laugh in the face of obesity by opening a restaurant that serves an 8,000-calorie burger, you might as well open it in Sin City.” – “And that’s just what Heart Attack Grill owner Jon Basso is doing. On Wednesday, the owner opens the doors to his third Heart Attack Grill location, this time in Las Vegas.” – “The restaurant offers a Quadruple Bypass Burger that contains four beef patties, cheese, bacon and reportedly, about 8,000 calories. Along with its staple sandwich, the menu offers a milkshake with the world’s “highest butterfat content” (garnished with a tab of butter) and flatliners fries that are deep fried in pure lard. People who weigh more than 350 pounds eat at the restaurant for free.” Owners, managers and their restaurant advisor can read the full story here. Then again, heart healthy food cities such as Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco are opening comfort food restaurants too.
