Actually this is about the battle of two grills with a similar theme.

Jan. 30--Iggy Lena and Bob Kutnick knew it was a good idea -- open a medically themed sports bar with unfashionable menu items, such as Chili Chest Pain Fries and The Heart Stopper, a 3-pound burger.

Decorate with a heart defibrillator and a dialysis machine. Make the tables look like wheelchairs, put salt and pepper in pill bottles, and present the bill in a plastic first-aid kit.

The result is their 6-week-old Heart Stoppers Sports Grill in Delray Beach, where the menu warns that "consumption of our food will definitely lead to obesity" and there is a standing offer of free food to anyone over 350 pounds.

"I'm 90 pounds away from eating for free," said a half-joking, 260-pound Dan Pagano, who was finishing up his $8.25 half-pound burger and fries at Heart Stoppers. Pagano, who writes service orders at a nearby car dealership, has been eating at Heart Stoppers twice a week since it opened.

I really like the idea. I've eatten at the one in AZ, and it's good and great service^_^

However, I have to say, this is the one thing I don't agree with.

I was going to say this restaurant has been there for a few years until I noticed this one is in Florida.
I like junk food as much as anyone else, but this looks waaay too greasy for me.
Here's the original one from AZ as featured on CBS:

Yeah... I'd have that about once a year. If that. Any more and the drive to AZ would be enough that my wife would kill me just for the trip alone...
