【趣谈英语】名副其实的餐馆，果然啊-Themed Restaurant True To Its Name

The Heart Attack Grill⁷, a hospital-themed restaurant in Las Vegas, offers free food to anyone who weighs over 350 pounds. The menu items are referred to as “prescriptions”, and include unhealthy choices such as triple bypass burgers, flatliner fries, buttermilk shakes and filterless cigarettes. Food is served to “patients” by waitresses dressed as nurses. Patients who can eat the biggest burgers are wheeled out of the restaurant in a wheelchair. In 2013, the unofficial mascot of the Heart Attack Grill, a man who ate there daily for many years, actually died of a heart attack. The die-hard patron, who referred to himself as “patient John”, wore a hospital gown and often stood at the entrance to entice people to enter. Patient John was featured on the menu and on souvenir T-shirts, but was never on the payroll.
