Arterial Terrorism: PYT's "Heart Attack Special"

PYT on Facebook In some more alterna-Restaurant Week news, Tommy Up's Piazza hotspot PYT is offering up three "Bestaurant Week" specials. For $15, you can snatch up a signature PYT, TLC or veg-friendly Calibunga Burger, plus an adult shake of your choice. For an additional $5, upgrade the deal to include any of PYT's "Hall of Fame" burgers, including their cheesesteak pretzel roll burger or the fanciful pistachio-crusted lamb burger. If that's not enough for your particularly daring and/or chunky inner moppet, PYT is also proudly presenting its "Heart Attack Special." We should all be thankful that we live in a world where adults can order a double cheeseburger with bacon â€" nay, chocolate-covered bacon â€" sandwiched between fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts with no need for obligatory vegetable accoutrement. Accompanied by an order of cheese fries and an adult milkshake served extra boozy, the $25 price point on the Heart Attack Special pales in price comparison to the Lipitor prescription you may require following the consumption of this meal. What is life without risks? Erin Finnerty Posted 2011-01-19 18:11:48

To be fair, the adult milkshake + an extra shot will usually run you $15 by itself. Steep, but worth it. Especially if you can get someone to buy on FOR you.

i'm wondering if there is anyone living who has had this special. i guess it works more as a marketing gimmick and less as an actual meal...

also, do you know if that is american cheese in the picture above? if so, this concoction somehow got grosser.

That's a very lofty statement, Bill. I think your fecal feast is a novelty food concept all its own.
