| - Ever since this place opened up while I was attending ASU, I've always been tempted to try it out. But my recent visit to Phoenix for birthday related festivities, and my new favorite TV show, Man vs. Food, inspired me to step up to the challenge!
My first visit to the Heart Attack Grill, I had to tackle the 8,000 calorie, Quadruple Bypass Burger; in honer of Adam and food challengers everywhere!
First things first, the establishment is a riot! I can't picture people NOT having fun there. The outfits, the blood pressure machine, the margaritas... The atmosphere is incredibly fun.
I had to get an order of their "Flat-Liner" Fries... never tasted deep friend lard before. But to be honest, I wasn't impressed. The photo on the menu made them look a lot more appetizing then I felt they were. I've had better for a lot fewer calories... but because you get UNLIMITED Flat-Liner Fries, I'm still satisfied.
But the hamburger... Amazing! One of the best hamburgers I've tasted! Despite the size of this 2 lb. beast, I was able to wrap my jaws around it and take some full bites. Delicious! Cheese drips everywhere and flavor just explodes in your mouth.
I was victorious with the challenge, despite being slow with time (took me 25 minutes... I heard the record is 1 min. 47 sec.). It definitely was a challenge. The first 10 minutes were cheese burger heaven. But by the end of the meal I was tired of eating, changing the flavor of hamburger with the occasional tomato or pickle (also, an excellent condiment bar to build your burger how ever you like it). But I persevered, and I was happily removed from the building by my sexy waitress Nurse Mary in a wheel chair.
A thanks goes out to my friend Amberly who joined me and gave me support when I was slowing down. Her optimism definitely helped me finish this race.
Next time, I will definitely order a smaller burger...
