Heart attack grill!

Hello folks! Howz everybody doing? I'm doing okay. I must say I really like the travel channel a lot. Why? Because its mainly travel and food! two of my passions! But that being said- some shows really gross me out. Like there was this show about places to pig out in America. One of the places was 'Heart Attack grill' in Chandler Arizona. This place was started by Jon Basso in 2005. He was inspired when he was writing a thesis about fitness training studios where he learnt about clients cheating on their diets. This restaurant was created with the intent of serving 'Nutritional pornography'- food so bad its shocking. Aptly described 'Taste worth dying for' he serves 8000 calorie burgers with 4 burger patties, cheese, onions, no lettuce, buns with lard on them, french fries fried in lard, whole sugar cola. He calls himself 'Dr Jon, chief surgeon', the waitresses are called nurses, folks over 300lbs are given free burgers and fries. Its like 'here you want this? take it! all the stuff you've been craving for! Most of the people in his restaurant were HUGE! the patrons are called patients, the menu is called prescription and people are actually given wrist bands just like in the hospital


Here's a sample of their menu...



Notice the absence of lettuce and veggies..
jeeeez!!!!!

I am nursing my first 'Pink Eye'. Boy its annoying! First I had a sore throat/cold, the next day I see mucous building up on both the ends of my eyes and hazing out. I wipe and its back!!! Golly! I don't wish pink eye on anyone! (except rapists and murderers!)
I listened to 'Walk the line' on radio one day and I liked it so much that I wanted to watch the movie. It was nice for a one time watch..but the song is lovely!
Yesterday was Freddie Mercury's 63rd B'day. I really dunno why I like him so so much but he gets me!
Seems like everyone is having a great time..which is great!
I'll end my post here. Enjoy remaining Sunday and Monday everyone!
Lots of love
