The dude has the perfect anti-hero story. Tries to get people to be healthy for years just to realize all the good advice gets ignored. So he goes the other extreme and just gives people the tools to kill themselves while at the same time warning them with brutal honesty that they are doing so.
"I tell people to eat healthy, exercise and to watch their weight and no one bats an eye. Then I serve people incredibly unhealthy food and tell them it's unhealthy and everyone loses their minds!"
@@koatam had there not been a no carryout rule this totally seems like a place id roll up to twice a year for a burger that'd last 2 days. like, I'm fat but i KNOW when I've eaten too much or cant stand more of something I've gotten two bites into burgers from Burger King and felt, "either I'm gonna die on the toilet or get a massive migraine if i take even a ONE more bite"
I ate at the original outside Phenix AZ and it really tastes great, but it also tastes like it will kill you.... personally I love this man for being brutally/morbidly honest
@Yuki_Ika7 I'm still here... but I was a 22 year old Marine regularly eating 10000 calories a day, and I still wouldn't eat there every day even though it was REALLY GOOD...LOL
I like his brutal honesty, if I ever am in USA for some unknown reason I would visit his reastaurant even tho I most likely won't finish a meal. I don't see a problem with this kind of restaurants simply because anyone can just go to Mac instead and buy ten bigmacs and devour them if they want to.
As someone who is currently on a diet and trying to get healthier, I could not support this man more. People need to wake up and realize that being overweight is not okay. Look in the mirror and if you don’t like it-change it. Take that time and effort to be healthy and remember: The entirety of your workout and diet is on you. No one is gonna save you from this and you need to accept that. It’s no one else’s fault but yours.
It’d be worse for advertising if the restaurant owner called his customers dumb lemmings rushing off a cliff to their deaths than just stating that his restaurant’s food would kill people. People don’t care if they head to their deaths, but they care if they’re told they’re dumb for doing so.
This guy seemed like he had a past with obesity, like maybe he used to see them as a doctor but never found success trying to help them out. Yes very unapologetically honest. And honestly, I think it's better to be cruel than a manipulator. At least the former is telling the truth.
This dude is just based. He's telling people they'll die if they go to this spot, and people pay to go to that spot. You can't be outraged when they die at that point.
@@lop90ful1 all fast food is designed to be unhealthy... mcdonalds literally serves a burger that is 100% not made with regular meat... as it doesn't taste like the normal burger, they put something in there to make it more addicting so you go back for more, and make their prices cheap so you purchase more often, the entire fast food business is designed to be unhealthy.

This dude's entire act is that he's playing the role of a cartoon villain. He's literally telling people that he's happy when customers die because he gains a massive boost in both attention and income as a direct result. If his customers remain and his business is increasing despite him literally encouraging people to die, then the bigger issue is that his customers (Overweight individuals) don't actually care about their own lives in comparison to the act of eating food. Even the media and families of those who died from his food, ironically enough, try to shove all blame onto him and not the individuals who willingly went there knowing they're already in a deadly situation. Is he morally bad for even establishing such a place and profiting off of people dying? I'd say absolutely. However, he's not forcing anyone to go there and literally says that his food will kill you. If people continue to go there, then that's 100% on them and not him. His resturant is a like a gun. If you go there, you pick it up. If you go inside, the safety's off. If you eat his food, you pull the trigger. If you do none of that, that gun does nothing, but it turns out there's a lot of people who keep acting like its a toy.
This restaurant shows you your mortality as it relates to food. It's kill count is the message and your fear and outrage is the point. If the people who eat there continue to eat there then they're already too far gone. If people don't then good, if his business goes bankrupt then he'll probably think it was a success.
this dude is something else. he puts medical procedures in his menu names, he carries the ashes of a dude who died in his restaurant. he wants fast food to be self aware that they are in fact unhealthy. he's essentially putting a mirror in front of America, and they still eat there. can you really fault this man?
Being told "My food will kill you". Either you shape up and take the message to be healthy, or Darwin gets proven right again. Either way, it's probably a net positive.
Ppl hate this bald guy 'cause he is just awfully honest. Like, none of these would happen if ppl just didn't go to the restaurant, they are not forced to eat there, they know how unhealthy it is but they still go, it's literally their fault and no one else's, that's why so many ppl dont like the restaurant, because ppl just dont like to admit when they are at fault
I am rather on the fat side myself and I can confidently say that it's the ppls fault who eat there, if u eat that much unhealthy food, you arent a victim, you have no one else to blame aside from urself. If you are addicted to eating that much food, then just try eating less. There isn't any other way. If you have any addiction, the way you get rid of it is using/consuming/doing less of that certain thing. If you cant bring yourself to do that, that's your problem and not the ppl's who provide the food/that certain thing.
people can help themselves, they just choose not to. the restaurant is partly to blame but its not 100% on them. he literally says "this will kill you its terrible for your health" and you take it anyways, that's 100% on you. you have ALL of the information on the thing that will kill you if you take it and you take it anyways.
I think Asmondgold said it best, this guy isn't really tricking or lying to anyone, he's being up front about the *HIGH POSSIBILITY* of people dying from eating his food. Apparently there are even literal warning signs in front of his restaurant so if anyone dies in his restaurant or dies as a result from eating his food then ultimately that was a personal choice. I personally disagree with the idea that they should have been more considerate towards those who ate their food, I don't personally believe that one should be held responsible for other people's stupidity. Not to mention that the main people who would intentionally go to eat at a restaurant that openly advertises what their food is gonna do to their health are adults and adults should be held responsible for their actions. If they're going to ignore all signs, common sense and any amount of hesitation they might have had to eat at that restaurant then I'm sorry but they get what's coming to them, they're not children so they shouldn't be cuddled they should be held responsible.
I can't hate this guy. If adults want to walk into death's grip then no laws or restrictions will stop them, if restaurants turn them away they just die at home plus it's not like you can look at someone at say "sir you've had enough to eat" like drugs or alcohol. As far children go this restaurant doesn't cater to them like mcds so that's a positive, parents are to blame if they go there.
depending on how much of a cynic you are, you could say the restaurant owner is cleaing up society by either changing the ways of fat people... or them dying 😆

I understand your idea of protecting people from themselves. However, if people cant reflect on themselves then they are gonna die either way. They will find another restaurant that they will die in. Providing a place that is at least entirely honest with them is at least a chance for them to see the light.
@@addollz6192 "That doesn't matter here, no other restaurant is selling food purposely in a absurd amount of calouries to their customers." Calories is not the reason why people die from food...

Its no coincidence that the obsession over calories started during the rise of ultra processed garbage.
He is truly the Devil. In the sense that he will present people a deal, tell them that their bodies will be destroyed and their soul will be condemned, and the people answer: But is ketchup included?
It is weird to see a guy being so honest about terrible predatory practices. Obviously, it usually the opposite: Companies use predatory tactics but try to deflect. This guy is the opposite, he uses predatory tactics but he tells you about how predatory those are.
Eh, cigarettes come with warnings for a reason. Same with alcohol. There’s a difference between poor decisions and manipulative marketing leading people into addiction.
Honesty speaking I see this guy as a lesser evil than casinos, Tabaco manufacturers, Nestle, alcohol etc. Those guys do the same or even worse stuff as him with the main difference being, that the are trying to tell you they are not bad, unless forced by law.
In China they have a problem with people skimming cooking oil out of the sewer water (this applies to restaurants too). I'll take American fast food over that any day.
8:57 Actually, yes they do have people this fat in China. It's a status symbol there (for poor and rural areas, and specifically for men). Difference is that they get fat from eating a metric butt ton of rice and noodles whereas Americans get fat from eating oily meats and fried potatoes. You can usually find them in lower-middle class urban areas.
He's just catering to the fat and using them as a warning to other NOT to get that way. Also, he's honest, that alone make him a better business man then most ceos.
Every argument against this guy falls apart in the face of the truth: You don't have to eat there. He's not the only option for food or even burgers in the area. Personal responsibility and freedom of choice has to be the ultimate deciding factor or you end up in a nanny state. This is not like drunk driving, that can have direct and immediate consequences to those who were not involved. There are consequences here, but it's not like eating his food is going to cause you to physically harm others. If anything you're being less charitable to these people than he is, at least he believes they can figure themselves out, you won't even give them that much.
My brother dealt with anorexia as a teen while I became a 300 lb behemoth. I have a horrendous weight problem and love to eat shit but that 4 patties with bacon and onions seems terribly disgusting. The idea of no lettuce is just a big too much as well. I need mushrooms or lettuce or guacamole or something to give it flavor. I was thinking about about sending this to my brother but the fighting anorexia bit would probably piss him off a bit.
If you could blame them for serving large amounts of food causing people to die can you blame Walmart for supplying large amounts of food and the person eating themselves to death? Its just more personal so they get flack, faceless companies doing the same shit fly under the radar
4:58 their menu is just fine, the single and double bypass are half and full lb burgers, I have had a full lb burger, god damn is it alot to eat but you could easily make it a full days meal, they have chili cheese fries with bacon, and they have a hotdog that has chili and bacon on it, its more or less just a good burger place that found a niche
When looking at what is worse, the general rule of thumb is more freedom, not less. Parents can do bad things that hurt their children, but ONLY their children get hurt, where as goverments can hurt thousands, upon thousands of children. The child belongs to the parent, and you should not be allowed to interfere with that except in the most extreme circumstances. Plus, it's a matter of culture. If the culture normalizes fat acceptance, then more people will be fat. So, why did fatness get to the point where "healthy at any size" become such a prominent thing? The USA has an 36% obesety rate, while Japan is just 4.3% (with children having a 14% rate, showing that just cause you grow up fat doesn't mean you can't become more healthy). The difference? Culture. We can't act like goverment cant get it wrong either. Lets take, for example, the great country of China, who doesn't have a bunch of fat people, and regulate tic tok. How good is the food in China? How much work is done to make sure it doesn't kill people? WAY less than in the West. China can get away with doing terrible things, like flooding places where people live, or locking them in their houses by bolting the doors during Covid. The regulations on Tic Tok are part and parcel of the CCP to regulate everything, and a lot of bad stuff gets missed, like the amount of radiation regular Chinese people are exposed to. China did a thing where hysteria was drummed up because Japan is releasing nuclear waste water into the sea, which causes Chinese people to get radiation detectors, which they then used in their homes, which had massive radiation, which caused the goverment to shut down anyone that talked about it. In short, don't cherry pick a few favourable metrics from China, and ignore all the MUCH worse stuff it does. When taken on the whole, there is no question of what sort of society you should live in.
This is one of the Best instances of natural selection. You can’t blame the restaurant staff for this. They ate the food by choice. The the blobs fault
my take: all fast food restaurant has always been unhealthy but theyre being dishonest about it. Remember when McDonald first released chicken nugget they say its healthier option than beef burger because its white meat or some weird shit but the oil they use (before they changed it because got sued) give the mcnugget MORE callories than their burger. and now somebody did it in an honest way and people are angrier to this dude than regular corporation fastfood restaurant? I UNDERSTAND the food kills you but you cant really blame a pesticide company when somebody died drinking the pesticide when its plastered on the FRONT “do not consume or you’ll die”.
The thing about food is that the American food industry does use chemicals and ingredients that are dangerous and had no place to be in food in the first place. It's easy to say it's our own fault to choose the food, but it's not 100% one sided. I would say maybe 70% is our own fault, but processed sugar and other addatives are addictive. Might as well to tell a crack head "Just stop."
When you think about it, he's shoving it in your face "Don't do this, it may kill you" while exploiting the "thrill ride/adrenaline junkie" vibe many dumbasses have. He calls his waitresses nurses for a reason. It's to remind you of the danger you're choosing to be in.
I like the idea of his restaurant. It incentivises overweight people to eat there for the free food, which forces them to be bombarded with all of the messaging in the shop, telling them plainly that this will kill them. It's a lot better than the alternative of letting them go to other restaurants where they don't face any sort of warnings
The appetite thing works the other way too, if you don't eat a lot you can feel full with just a couple bits and or feel sick, skinny isn't healthy either believe me
drunk driving is more brutal tho because you risk other peoples lives instead just your own so the analogy dosent work so good also giving your children unhealthy food is not the same than eating alone at this restaurant. if you bring them there thats comparable and horrible.
I'm fine with this guy. At least he's completely transparent. It's bad guidelines that gave us shit like margarine and Snackwells that really caused problems.
I disagree with Alana. While I wouldn't make this kind of food to feed it to people, he does plaster it everywhere that it will kill you. I get that addicts won't have the self control, but making something like this illegal won't help them either, they will just look for something else to feed their addiction. As an addict, I get that it is not easy to quit (if it was I wouldn't be one) but I get that it is my own fault and I do just have to bite the bullet and go cold turkey. No one did this to me, and it really is just my own fault that I got here. Anyway, entertaining as always, I might eventually catch a stream haha.
Huh, they made only 5 millions? I surely thought it would be more. I can't be mad at Jon Baso. He saw and took the opportunity in a market which seemed already filled and and overly competitive. And he got lots of free marketing through the whole "this food will end you" stick. Chapeau to you Jon. ^^'
I think it's weird to compare it to drunk driving. Drunk driving is iIIegaI. Eating gаrbаge and fееding уоur relatives gаrbаge isn't iIIegaI. He's showing how wrong it is and how you can get away with it unlike stuff Iikе drugs etc. Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
I think you're partly wrong although I get where you're coming from. You say that people who self-reflect don't do that, and that's wrong. There are a lot of people who know they have a problem, but they have a lot of trouble changing their lifestyle to fix that. It's an addiction. Some people need to hit rock bottom before the thought of "I know I have a really serious problem, but....." turns into "Holy shit I need to change before it's too late". Not that it becomes easy at that point but that's one way people can be pushed into leading a healthier life. I'm by no means saying that what he's doing is right, these people need help and pushing them further into their problems until they die or decide to change is not the kind of help they need. Just wanted to give you another perspective, I love your content so keep doing what you do

Eh, cigarettes come with warnings for a reason. Same with alcohol. There’s a difference between poor decisions and manipulative marketing leading people into addiction.
@@nevermore7285fat
Lawful Based alignment at its finest
Honesty speaking I see this guy as a lesser evil than casinos, Tabaco manufacturers, Nestle, alcohol etc. Those guys do the same or even worse stuff as him with the main difference being, that the are trying to tell you they are not bad, unless forced by law.
He probably saw a lot of obese people who just couldn’t stick to basic diet and exercise routines, and decided to turn them into cautionary tales.
In China they have a problem with people skimming cooking oil out of the sewer water (this applies to restaurants too). I'll take American fast food over that any day.
8:57 Actually, yes they do have people this fat in China. It's a status symbol there (for poor and rural areas, and specifically for men). Difference is that they get fat from eating a metric butt ton of rice and noodles whereas Americans get fat from eating oily meats and fried potatoes. You can usually find them in lower-middle class urban areas.
Jon Basso’s last name sound similar to Jeff Bezos’ name. And they are both Bald, coincidence?!?!??
same phenotype
Bro is doing competitive natural selection
the hero we needed and muppets claim otherwise lol
He's just catering to the fat and using them as a warning to other NOT to get that way. Also, he's honest, that alone make him a better business man then most ceos.
Every argument against this guy falls apart in the face of the truth: You don't have to eat there.
He's not the only option for food or even burgers in the area. Personal responsibility and freedom of choice has to be the ultimate deciding factor or you end up in a nanny state. This is not like drunk driving, that can have direct and immediate consequences to those who were not involved. There are consequences here, but it's not like eating his food is going to cause you to physically harm others.
If anything you're being less charitable to these people than he is, at least he believes they can figure themselves out, you won't even give them that much.
I feel that keeping someone else’s ashes is a bit over the top though
The doc is trying to scare people from junkfood based on having the dudes ashes in the restraunt
I would have complaint that it isn't very environmental friendly but, it is because it actually kills people.
Over 19,000 calories? That's more than enough calories to keep someone full for a week.
This man truly believed in "no such thing as bad publicity"
My brother dealt with anorexia as a teen while I became a 300 lb behemoth. I have a horrendous weight problem and love to eat shit but that 4 patties with bacon and onions seems terribly disgusting. The idea of no lettuce is just a big too much as well. I need mushrooms or lettuce or guacamole or something to give it flavor. I was thinking about about sending this to my brother but the fighting anorexia bit would probably piss him off a bit.
As someone said in another reaction to this video's comments section, "that dude is very chaotic neutral"
If you could blame them for serving large amounts of food causing people to die can you blame Walmart for supplying large amounts of food and the person eating themselves to death? Its just more personal so they get flack, faceless companies doing the same shit fly under the radar
4:58 their menu is just fine, the single and double bypass are half and full lb burgers, I have had a full lb burger, god damn is it alot to eat but you could easily make it a full days meal, they have chili cheese fries with bacon, and they have a hotdog that has chili and bacon on it, its more or less just a good burger place that found a niche
Off topic from the video but, oh wow, that cat model actually looks really cool
When looking at what is worse, the general rule of thumb is more freedom, not less. Parents can do bad things that hurt their children, but ONLY their children get hurt, where as goverments can hurt thousands, upon thousands of children. The child belongs to the parent, and you should not be allowed to interfere with that except in the most extreme circumstances. Plus, it's a matter of culture. If the culture normalizes fat acceptance, then more people will be fat. So, why did fatness get to the point where "healthy at any size" become such a prominent thing? The USA has an 36% obesety rate, while Japan is just 4.3% (with children having a 14% rate, showing that just cause you grow up fat doesn't mean you can't become more healthy). The difference? Culture.
We can't act like goverment cant get it wrong either. Lets take, for example, the great country of China, who doesn't have a bunch of fat people, and regulate tic tok. How good is the food in China? How much work is done to make sure it doesn't kill people? WAY less than in the West. China can get away with doing terrible things, like flooding places where people live, or locking them in their houses by bolting the doors during Covid.
The regulations on Tic Tok are part and parcel of the CCP to regulate everything, and a lot of bad stuff gets missed, like the amount of radiation regular Chinese people are exposed to. China did a thing where hysteria was drummed up because Japan is releasing nuclear waste water into the sea, which causes Chinese people to get radiation detectors, which they then used in their homes, which had massive radiation, which caused the goverment to shut down anyone that talked about it.
In short, don't cherry pick a few favourable metrics from China, and ignore all the MUCH worse stuff it does. When taken on the whole, there is no question of what sort of society you should live in.
As an American, I can say that burger joint is an average Wednesday...
This is one of the Best instances of natural selection. You can’t blame the restaurant staff for this. They ate the food by choice. The the blobs fault
Ngl, that cat model is pretty good
But lettuce is the best part D:
you can,t blame the restaurant you have to blame the person who made the choice
Americans and lethally unhealthy food. Name a more iconic duo.
U.S. government and Oil
The food images look so unappealing.
Everything looks so fat and oily that I can already feel my stomach complaining.
I see no problem with this, he’s being honest and removing burdens to society at the same time
If they sold anything besides burgers or pork, I'll go.
my take:
all fast food restaurant has always been unhealthy but theyre being dishonest about it. Remember when McDonald first released chicken nugget they say its healthier option than beef burger because its white meat or some weird shit but the oil they use (before they changed it because got sued) give the mcnugget MORE callories than their burger.
and now somebody did it in an honest way and people are angrier to this dude than regular corporation fastfood restaurant?
I UNDERSTAND the food kills you but you cant really blame a pesticide company when somebody died drinking the pesticide when its plastered on the FRONT “do not consume or you’ll die”.
This is a prime example of a Sigma chad right here.
the dude who said thats a whole days worth of food didnt pass basic nutrition lmao.
Ngl, if they allowed me to take this home, I would go there more often then not since I would have 3-4 days of dinner and lunch 😂😂
Honestly, I can at least get behind this guy for not including lettuce on burgers.
This guy is basically a drug dealer but without the government regulation that should be in place for this.
Controversy creates cash.
The thing about food is that the American food industry does use chemicals and ingredients that are dangerous and had no place to be in food in the first place. It's easy to say it's our own fault to choose the food, but it's not 100% one sided. I would say maybe 70% is our own fault, but processed sugar and other addatives are addictive. Might as well to tell a crack head "Just stop."
When you think about it, he's shoving it in your face "Don't do this, it may kill you" while exploiting the "thrill ride/adrenaline junkie" vibe many dumbasses have. He calls his waitresses nurses for a reason. It's to remind you of the danger you're choosing to be in.
I love how academic was misspelled on the job application. It was spelled acedemic.
I don't think he's a sociopath,i think he's trying to prove a point in the worst way possible.
I like the idea of his restaurant. It incentivises overweight people to eat there for the free food, which forces them to be bombarded with all of the messaging in the shop, telling them plainly that this will kill them. It's a lot better than the alternative of letting them go to other restaurants where they don't face any sort of warnings
The appetite thing works the other way too, if you don't eat a lot you can feel full with just a couple bits and or feel sick, skinny isn't healthy either believe me
Trying my hardest not to make a "Healthiest food in america" joke
13:10 As someone who has been borderline anorexic before and still struggles with weight, I find this to be hilarious.
literally burgershot is canon from gta to real life lmao.
drunk driving is more brutal tho because you risk other peoples lives instead just your own so the analogy dosent work so good
also giving your children unhealthy food is not the same than eating alone at this restaurant. if you bring them there thats comparable and horrible.
I'm fine with this guy. At least he's completely transparent. It's bad guidelines that gave us shit like margarine and Snackwells that really caused problems.
wide burger > tall burger
Can I have the name for your intro song? or is it your original intro song?
Just looking at the octuple bypass counts as gorn
I disagree with Alana. While I wouldn't make this kind of food to feed it to people, he does plaster it everywhere that it will kill you. I get that addicts won't have the self control, but making something like this illegal won't help them either, they will just look for something else to feed their addiction. As an addict, I get that it is not easy to quit (if it was I wouldn't be one) but I get that it is my own fault and I do just have to bite the bullet and go cold turkey. No one did this to me, and it really is just my own fault that I got here.
Anyway, entertaining as always, I might eventually catch a stream haha.
if this was long ago i would agree
but with all the shit of fat is the new healthy being pushed i agree with him now
The people who died lost weight 😅
Huh, they made only 5 millions? I surely thought it would be more.
I can't be mad at Jon Baso. He saw and took the opportunity in a market which seemed already filled and and overly competitive. And he got lots of free marketing through the whole "this food will end you" stick. Chapeau to you Jon. ^^'
I think there's a certain amount of Darwinism in this story.
I think it's weird to compare it to drunk driving. Drunk driving is iIIegaI. Eating gаrbаge and fееding уоur relatives gаrbаge isn't iIIegaI. He's showing how wrong it is and how you can get away with it unlike stuff Iikе drugs etc. Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
12:56 Cat! 😺
I know right is no one else going to talk about how cute catalana is.
Heartattack grill is practically american version of maid cafes? :D
irl super villain
5:50 do you really think someone that fat could live to 50
Man, this was not the video to watch while eating my lunch, which was pizza.
15:20 that thing doesn't even look edible. The whole thing almost looks like plastic.
Smh, not understanding the meaning to Heart Attack Grill's purpose
He’s telling you those food will kill you and people still do it so….their fault. Maybe you’re also obese? That would make sense.
I think you're partly wrong although I get where you're coming from. You say that people who self-reflect don't do that, and that's wrong. There are a lot of people who know they have a problem, but they have a lot of trouble changing their lifestyle to fix that. It's an addiction. Some people need to hit rock bottom before the thought of "I know I have a really serious problem, but....." turns into "Holy shit I need to change before it's too late". Not that it becomes easy at that point but that's one way people can be pushed into leading a healthier life. I'm by no means saying that what he's doing is right, these people need help and pushing them further into their problems until they die or decide to change is not the kind of help they need. Just wanted to give you another perspective, I love your content so keep doing what you do
You get exactly what you ask for and still complain
