Man Suffers Heart Attack After Eating Triple Bypass Burger at Heart Attack Grill

He’s probably going to be okay. Heart Attack Grill has waitresses dressed in sexy nurse costumes, maybe one of them had a cell phone and the presence of mind to call 911.

Last year, Blair River, the public face of the restaurant, died at age 29 of the flu. Bummer.

You can’t fault them for deceptive advertising.

We’re coming off decades of sugary cereal for the kids and pink slime burgers for the whole family. It’s a hard habit to break when that’s what you’re used to. Broccoli is an acquired taste.

I’m on day 4 of ShapeUpRI. They send you a pedometer and lots of encouragement. So far, I’ve been seduced by Valentines chocolates, leftover cake at work, and Chinese food. But I’m counting my steps, the sun is shining, I’ve had nothing but coffee and milk so far.

Most of us aren’t swigging bacon milkshakes or going to the Heart Attack Grill. It’s the day to day that gets us. That’s the greater challenge.
