Not exactly a restaurant, but saw a gas station/convienence store/lunch counter called "Pump & Munch."



Yeah and the billboards could say: "Eat Here & Get Gas!" :ph34r:


:D:D:D A friend made the very same comment when we passed it!!!

This one is out there somewhere. I bet this is futuredivot's favorite restaurant: :ph34r:

The Heart Attack Grill was founded in 2005 by Jon Basso, with the quoted intent of serving "nutritional pornography", food "so bad for you it's shocking". The menu includes "Single", "Double", "Triple", and "Quadruple Bypass" hamburgers, ranging from half a pound to two pounds of beef, "Flatliner Fries" (cooked in pure lard), cigarettes, beer and liquor, and soft drinks. The names imply coronary artery bypass surgery, referring to the danger of developing atherosclerosis from the food's high proportion of saturated fat and hugely excessive caloric content. The Quadruple Bypass burger has 8,000 calories. Customers who finish a Triple or Quadruple Bypass burger are pushed in wheelchairs to their cars by the waitresses.

The Heart Attack Grill is a hospital theme restaurant. Basso calls himself "Dr. Jon", and dresses himself in a white doctor's lab coat. Customers are referred to as "patients", orders as "prescriptions", and the waitresses as "nurses"

The waitresses' nurse costumes and behavior have caused the most controversy. The waitresses wear crosses on their nurse hats, thigh-high fishnet stockings, short skirts, and low-cut tops. On occasion, they sit at the table with customers while they eat, role-play as nurses, or even jump into the arms of their customers.

Criticism
On September 1, 2006, the Arizona State Attorney General's office sent Basso a letter warning him that following "Arizona Statute A.R.S. 32-1636, only a person who holds a valid and current license to practice professional nursing in this state ... pursuant to sections 32-1668 may use the title 'Nurse'." In response, Basso put a disclaimer on his Web site, saying, "Heart Attack Grill nurses are NOT REAL NURSES." The attorney general's office sent a follow-up letter on November 22 saying this resolved the issue. On November 17, 2006, the Arizona State Board of Nursing met and decided not to take any action against the Heart Attack Grill. (The website was later updated and the disclaimer edited to the following:
"The use of the word 'nurse' above is only intended as a parody. None of the women pictured on our Web site actually have any medical training, nor do they attempt to provide any real medical services. It should be made clear that the Heart Attack Grill and all its employees do not offer any therapeutic treatments")

However, Sandy Summers, RN, MSN, MPH, founder and Executive Director of the Baltimore-based Center for Nursing Advocacy, started a separate campaign to get the restaurant to stop using naughty nurse themes for its waiting staff. The Center says the association of nursing with sex discourages real nurses and contributes to the nursing shortage, a global public health crisis. The center started a letter writing campaign, and tried to get real nurses to hand out fliers outside the restaurant. The complaints incited a backlash against Summers, who has been criticized as being humorless and politically correct.

Meanwhile, the controversy has made the grill famous. Basso says the complaints have been good for business.

In college I worked at a restaurant called "The Blue Footed Booby Canoe Club" We'd semi-frequently get calls from guests' wives not knowing a blue footed booby was a bird, and well, with the word club following the word booby they'd get very suspicious. Was actually very family friendly. Good place, closed down about a year ago :(

So there I was...

I'm still looking for "Wherever Is Fine" That's where my wife wants to go every time I ask her.:S Of course her favorite soft drink is something called Sippoyores or Sip 'o Urs or something like that the I've never seen-so she usually settles for 3/4 of what I order.

Kinda like when I finish off whatever everybody else leaves on their plate! >:(

You've seen me do at a few of those little 'performer banquets' we've been to...Hell, I could get by ordering a kids meal and just scarfing down what you people DON'T eat! :ph34r:

Better watch it. People may think you're rude for doing that. :o

I have a friend that wants to open a strip club called "The Ho' Depot" someday.

He's still in the research phase. ;)
