How is this a viable business plan?

How is this any different than the many restaurants that state: Kids eat free? Try bringing 3 or 4 kids into a Kids eat Free restaurant and see how much they eat and waste. Just because someone weighs 300 pounds does not always mean they are going to eat 4 hamburgers.

It's 350+ and I'm pretty sure you don't get that fat by eating a single hamburger. Two 350 pound fatties would obviously eat significantly more than 2-3 kids.

Exactly. Each 350 pound fatty could easily eat 2-3 kids on his/her own.

So, do you step on a scale of some sort if you are pushing 350? Then rejoice when it reads above that amount? I'd like to see that, laugh, and then weep.

:rolleyes: sure...

I've eaten there a few times. It's a fun place. I can't imagine being able to finish the quadruple bypass though, that's a HUGE burger.

There's no reason to eat that much unhealthy food at one time. That's the main reason I don't eat at places like Claim Jumper, yet people line up and wait an hour to strap on the feedbag at that joint.

Excuse me sir, would you like the defibrillator brought to your table or should we just call an ambulance now?

That's 8,000 calories! D:

That's like 4 days worth of calories in one meal. And the record holder ate one in just under 4 minutes...yeah, that's healthy. :rolleyes:

that restaurant was featured in one of the travel channel shows recently. Everything on their menu made me want to throw up. How can people eat that much lard in one meal?!

it's sad how much my less my stomach holds now compared to when I was teen. I would love to go here but will just be embarrased at how little I can eat. But I guess it's for the better as I'm trying to cut down on red meat.

My favorite place "Bulldogs Grill" just introduced one of those, "if you can eat it it's free" burgers. And it actually isn't too crazy. It's got 4 delicious 1/2 pound patties, 12 strips of bacon, cheese, fixings, and a pound and a half a fries (I believe coated with chili and cheese, but I'm not sure if they put those or just plain fries with it.)

I can eat a lot of food, but I don't think I can quite handle that..... Tempted to try though ... hehehehe

The question should be is the food good enough to make it worth gaining a lot of weight? We need another player in the In n Out, Five Guys, Steak and Shake debate.

That's not something to be embarrassed about. That's something to be proud of.

Tis a shame, traveling to Chandler, AZ soon for a job interview with ChipZilla, would have been a must eat.

At least I got to eat there a few times...the girls weren't very attractive both times I went. But those were some good fries. I don't think a single person in my group weighed over 200 pounds, so no special considerations. (and no one dared order the quadruple heart attack burger)

The cook in the video is smoking hot.

Ate there once. Burger was delicious. It did have a strip club feel to it, but it was fun to go once. If you want the same kind of 'views' there is always Tilted Kilt.

I used to pride myself on how much steak I could eat in one sitting. Sadly I can't eat like I used to either.

I got a free shirt for putting down a 52oz porterhouse when I was in highschool. I can barely finish a 16oz steak now just 10 years later.
