everywhere, both in restaurants and on TV.<\/p>\n<p>I reckon I'm not the only guy who thinks he stands a good chance of overcoming these challenges &ndash; but an incident in the US would definitely make me think twice now.<\/p>\n<p>In an ironic turn of events, an unidentified participant suffered a cardiac arrest when devouring a Triple Bypass Burger at the aptly named Heart Attack Grill.<\/p>\n<p>He was rushed to hospital by paramedics after experiencing chest pains as he consumed the 6,000-calorie whopper, which includes three pieces of meat and 12 slices of bacon, as well as a side order of fries.<\/p>\n<p>Owner of the eatery Jon Basso claimed the incident was not a publicity stunt, adding: &quot;Even with our own morbid sense of humour, we would never pull a stunt like that.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The unfortunate incident may well be enough to put some off their food, but I reckon I'd still be able to handle it!<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Simon Williams<img decoding=\"async\"
