Massagany / Misogyny at Heart Attack Grill?

The East Valley Tribune has an article about the Heart Attack Grill’s dispute with nursing organizations in which the owner of the restaurant, Jon Busso is quoted as saying “To say there is any massagany (sic) here is absolutely ridiculous”

It is somewhat difficult to accept the denial of misogyny in light of the restaurant’s blog entry for October 25:

The entire Grill was taken aback at the sight of this woman as she literally decimated a Quadruple Bypass Burger in front of our very eyes. Every macho man at the bar suddenly gave up his chauvinistic preconceptions of meat being a “man’s game” when she put us all to shame.

SADLY THOUGH, we found out that she was cheating! It turns out that she’s four months pregnant, so it’s obvious the little guy inside of her was helping her eat all that beef in record time. Our Quadruple Bypass Burger challenge is a sport of honor among gentlemen. Her cheating brought such disgrace to the Grill that we had to take her out back and work her over a bit. Hey, I know what you’re all thinking, but we confined our punches to the upper rib cage section to avoid the fetus. I mean we’re not Barbarians for Christ sakes!

Absolutely hilarious, if you find violence against pregnant women a laughing matter. The claims of male superiority in meat eating are difficult to accept given that Sonya Thomas is the only person to win the 9 pound Barrick Burger contest and Kate Stelnick and Lori Weiss are the only people to complete Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub’s 96er burger. Closer to the Grill, 115 pound Becky White of Tucson has completed the 72 ounce steak at the Big Texan Grill.

The nurses have put out a press release detailing their grievances against the restaurant.

    “Hey I said that we confined the punches to the upper ribbed cage!” For Christ Sakes didn’t you guys ever see the movie Blazing Saddles?!? Hey we get a lot of press from wackos without sences of hummor. Personally I’ve got a ton of respect for female eating champs. We’ve got a Nurse on staff who’s just a tiny thing (90lbs soaking wet) named Catarina and she can rip apart any two other big knucklehead at the bar. No joke.
    Nothing else new to report at the Grill, Jed Donahue is still the undisputed house champion. If anyone want’s a piece of Jed’s record come on down!!!!
