A lawsuit filed in federal court says the Heart Attack Grill restaurant chain has accused the 2nd Avenue Deli of stealing its idea to spoof healthy eating with calorie-bomb entrees like the
three-patty Triple Bypass Burger.
It asks the court to block the Arizona-based restaurant chain from pursuing a trademark
infringement case.
The deli's Instant Heart Attack sandwich is a mountain of two potato pancakes and a piled-high choice of corned beef, pastrami, turkey or salami. The price: $23.95.
The Manhattan deli also has plans for a new Triple Bypass sandwich. The Heart Attack Grill sells the Quadruple Bypass Burger.
A Heart Attack Grill lawyer hasn't returned a message seeking comment. A 260kg man who served as the company's spokesman died in March.
