Their current controversy is not about saturated fats, but skimpily dressed skinnies:
The Heart Attack Grill _ a theme restaurant whose specialties include the Quadruple Bypass Burger and Flatliner Fries, cooked in pure lard _ is making health-care professionals' blood pressure rise, and not because of the menu.
It is because of the waitresses' naughty nurse uniforms.
The waitresses wear skimpy, cleavage-baring outfits, high heels and thigh-high stockings _ a male fantasy that some nursing organizations say is an insult to the profession.
Several nurses have complained to the Arizona attorney general's office, and a national nursing group has repeatedly asked Heart Attack Grill owner Jon Basso to stop using the outfits.
"Nurses are the most sexually fantasized-about profession," said Sandy Summers, executive director of the Center for Nursing Advocacy, based in Baltimore. "We're asking people, if they're going to have these fantasies, please don't make it so public. Move these sexual fantasies to other professions."
Basso shrugs off Summers' complaints, and refers to her and her supporters as prudes, cranks and lunatics.
And how about this artery-clogger:
The restaurant's website now has this disclaimer:
*The use of the word "Nurse" above is only intended as a parody. None of the women pictured on our website actually have any medical training, nor do they attempt to provide any real medical services. It should be made clear that the Heart Attack Grill and its employees do NOT offer any therapeutic treatments (aside from laughter) whatsoever.

It's a shame, but nobody has a sense of humor these days. By complaining about the nurse's outfits, the complainer has just guaranteed that the restaurant's business will boom, and there are already plans to expand to other cities.
