A bizarre, only-in America lawsuit: Heart Attack Grill, an Arizona restaurant characterized by its attorney as “the originator of the medically-themed hamburger grill and restaurant” whose motto is “Taste Worth Dying For”, files suit against Florida-based Heart Stoppers Sports Grill. The former has waitresses dressed as nurses serving Bypass Burgers and Jolt Cola, while the latter does the same for its Chili Chest Pain Fries. Another point requiring intellectual property interpretation: both restaurants offer free food to anybody weighing over 350 pounds.
