WASHINGTON - An unidentified man began consuming a 6,000-calorie Triple Bypass Burger last weekend at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, which markets itself as "Taste Worth Dying For." He then went into cardiac arrest.

An onlooker captured video of paramedics removing the man, the Daily Mail reports, after trying to consume the burger, consisting of three patties, 12 strips of bacon, cheese, onion, tomato and the restaurant's "unique special sauce."

He topped it off with some "Flatliner Fries," which are cooked in pure lard.

The chain is known for its anti-health advertising. An Arizona branch reads, "Go away. If you come in this place, it's going to kill you," according to the Daily Mail.

Health advocates have criticized Heart Attack Grill's marketing toward the morbidly obese. The façade of the Las Vegas restaurant includes a huge neon sign that reads "Over 350 lbs Eats Free."

The man who suffered from cardiac arrest reportedly is recovering at a hospital, according to the Heart Attack Grill's Facebook page.

I wish these places understood the difference between myocardial infarctions and cardiac arrest.

I don't know that I'd eat the whole thing, but damn that sure sounds tasty.

I hope the guy survives.

How do you know he didn't go into arrest? The two are so closely linked that I wouldn't expect anyone to know the difference. 80% of the time you don't have one without the other...
