Heart Attack Grill. Yes, it’s a REAL Restaurant!!
When I got an email titled Heart Attack Grill, I assumed it was a nickname the sender had given the restaurant. But it’s actually the REAL NAME of the restaurant!
Although it may seem stupid, it’s actually pretty clever marketing. I’m mean really, if the place were named John’s Hamburgers would the restaurant have been featured on Dateline NBC and 20/20?! Of course not!
Personally, I got a chuckle out of the fact that the Attorney General in Arizona was threatening the establishment because they call the waitresses at Heart Attack Grill, “nurses.” Come on now, don’t you all have something more important going on in Arizona than to worry about some waitresses wearing nurse costumes?
Below are a couple of video on Heart Attack Grill. The first video tells more about the business itself, while the 2nd video talks more about the controversy surrounding Heart Attack Grill (which, ironically, has nothing to do with the artery-clogging food they’re serving). Interesting stuff, indeed!
Now you know you’d eat there. Don’t deny it. Even if was just for the nurses. I’ll meet you there.
There marketing certainly works:
