The restaurant is owned by former nutritionist Jon Basso, who ran a chain of seven Jenny Craig weight-loss centers in Oklahoma.

Talk about a 180

I have to admit, I'm laughing about this. It's not a healthy sounding laugh, but a laugh nonetheless.

Say what you will about the horror-mirth of it, this seems like a terrible business model.

Oh, yeah, the Heart Attack Grill.

It's been around for a while.  We're sort of proud and ashamed, all at the same time.

I heard about this place on either the travel channel or one of the food network channels.

Sounds like they cook a mean burger, and I mean that in every way.

I dunno, maybe the owner also owns a fuck load of shares in companies that specialise in pills for people with heart problems.

Considering he used to work for Jenny Craig, I figure it's probably the sort of thing where he just looked around a Walmart, maybe saw that he was fighting a losing battle and said, "fuck it. May as well help them kill themselves."

Dayum.  ETA:  desperate move, it seems, to make this his schtick given his background.

Well it seems that if you begin with the goal of making America slimmer on average, then you have two options:

Convince fat people to lose weight
Kill lots of fat people

The first is obviously an effort in futility, so he's aiming for the second.
