The Heart Attack Grill sues Heart Stoppers (FL)
Sun Sentinel has an article about the Heart Attack Grill suing Heart Stoppers in Delray Beach, Florida for trademark violations. Heart Stoppers’ attorney has the following defense:
“Their theme is completely different,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons they didn’t continue discussions with the guy because they weren’t interested in his theme. They didn’t steal the same trademarked Single Bypass, Double Bypass burger that he does. They didn’t limit their menu like he does. They don’t require their nurses to dress in a provocative manner. It changed the clientele from the Hooters-type crowd to a family-type restaurant.”

I was hoping that you could alert the EatFeat fans that the Food Channel is launching a whole new program called “Outrageous”. They’ll be covering different outrageous things in the world of food and have contracted with Page Productions to shoot it for them. The inaugural episode will be a half hour long feature about the Heart Attack Grill. They’re going to film it on Saturday March 28th in Chandler Arizona.
I was hoping that with your influence we could get a visit from some of the better competitors out there. It’d be great exposure for everyone and might shift the direction of the new Outrageous Series more toward the world of competitive eating. Any help would be much appreciated!
