Heart Attack Grill's Jon Basso Pulls No Punches On His First Year In Vegas

Heart Attack Grill Owner Reflects On His First Year In Vegas

Jon Basso says he's here to help people live recklessly. A year ago, he moved his Heart Attack Grill from a tiny six-seat outpost in Tempe, Ariz., to downtown Las Vegas inside Neonopolis. And he's been stirring up controversy ever since with his Quadruple Bypass Burger packing a walloping 9,982 calories, lard fat fries and buttercream milkshakes. Here he talks about how he moved from life as a fitness and health expert into the business of high-calorie food, how the media has made him into the villain and how he has been changing lives with his new approach to fitness.
