The Heart Attack Grill sells the experience more than the food.

Here’s the menu:

Each of those hamburger patties is 1/2 pound of meat. They also sell “Flatliner Fries” which are cooked in lard. The fries are serve yourself and the quantity is unlimited. Your choice of beverages are: Full-sugar Coke, Pabst, Coors, or water all of which are served in the bottle with no glass. There’s nothing “Lite” or “Diet” served at the Heart Attack Grill.

The experience begins as soon as you pick which counter to sit at. The “nurse” serving your section comes around with a hospital gown for you to wear (Fortunately, you get to wear them over your clothes here.) and ends with the “nurse” presenting you with a list of the “procedures” you had and the bill for them.

It cost us $25 plus tip for two Single Bypasses and two of those tall bottles of Coke. We were also tagged with hospital type wrist tags that said we each had a bypass at the Heart Attack Grill. If you have a quadruple bypass you get to ride to your car in a wheelchair. If you weigh over 350 pounds you get to eat free.

It was one of those once in a lifetime is enough experiences but I highly recommend anyone do it once.

Yes, that’s why we are thinking of buying a CR-V. A bigger RV wouldn’t let us go the places we go now so we’ll need a runabout.

Yes, that’s also why we spent so much time in Houston. We picked out a Winnebago Vectra that appeared to be designed specifically for the way we live and spent much time negotiating factors relating to it. Unfortunately, the one we couldn’t negotiate was a potential engine recall that would have left us homeless if the incorrectly machined part failed. With a nearly 1 in 20 chance of that happening, I just couldn’t persuade myself to take that risk.

So, next week we are going to California to look at a different RV we think might work for us. Keep your fingers crossed.

TTYL,

Linda
