LAS VEGAS, NV., (Indiana's NewsCenter)--- The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas lives up to its name, yet again. A woman is recovering after she collapsed at the restaurant.

The woman, in her 40s, was eating a double bypass burger, smoking cigarettes and having a margarita, said the restaurant’s owner.

She’s doing okay and is now recovering at the hospital.

The seven-year-old restaurant was just awarded the Guinness World Record for “Highest Calorie Hamburger” for its 9,983 calorie “Quadruple Bypass Burger.”

The Heart Attack Grill offers menu items like the Butterfat Shake and fries deep fried in lard. They let anyone eat for free who weighs over 350 pounds, determining their weight after they step on one of the restaurant’s cattle scales.

A year ago, the restaurant’s nearly 600 pound spokesmodel died at the age of 29 years old. In February, a male customer in his 40s suffered a heart attack after eating the 6,000 calorie “Triple Bypass Burger.”

The Heart Attack Grill’s owner says he's had a single bypass burger every day since the restaurant opened.
