In March, Chandler’s Heart Attack Grill, the fast food restaurant that serves up such sky-high caloric fare such as Bypass Burgers and fries cooked in pure lard, threatened a trademark infringement case against 2nd Ave. Deli claiming the New York establishment stole their idea for its “Heart Attack Sandwich” and for a planned “Triple Bypass Sandwich.”

On Tuesday, 2nd Ave. Deli called bullshit on the coronary complaint by filing a lawsuit asking a court to block Heart Attack Grill from pursuing their case.

While both sandwiches remind us all to eat more salads, is an “Instant Heart Attack Sandwich” at a New York deli really going to be confused with a “Triple Bypass Burger” in Arizona?

Let’s crunch the chest pain-points on each and find out.

Heart Attack Grill: Triple Bypass Burger

Kosher: No
Ingredients: Three half-pound beef patties, six slices of American cheese, tomatoes and onions served in a bun coated with lard.

2nd Ave. Deli: Instant Heart Attack Sandwich

What say you, burger jury? Does Heart Attack Grill have a case or should they leave the “Instant Heart Attack” alone?
