Supersized: Meals of bypass burgers and flatliner fries at the Heart Attack Grill can exceed 8,000 calories - the average person needs around 2,000 a day
The restaurant chain - founded in 2005 using the catchphrase 'Taste Worth Dying For!' - is run by a former nutritionist 'Doctor' Jon Basso who, remarkably, used to run a Jenny Craig weight loss diet centre.
Meals can exceed 8,000 calories. The recommended daily intake is 2,000 calories for women and 2,500 for men.
The Triple Bypass Burger contains three slabs of meat, 12 rashes of bacon, cheese, red onion, sliced tomato and the Heart Attack Grill's own 'unique special sauce'.
And that's before taking into account the accompanying 'Flatliner Fries', cooked in pure lard, and a giant soft drink.
