| - I don't really get it. I've been here twice, once last year and was not impressed. I returned on a day of errands at the end of November. At first, I thought maybe it's the kitschy name and overall concept. I want to know why Burgatory? What does purgatory have to do with burgers? What is the relationship? And I don't really want to make a burger, I want a chef to combine great flavors that I didn't think of. And lastly, I reallllly don't like the Red, pink, not pink options for doneness. Why? Because this is food for dummies. And in my case, food that made me feel awful within 30 minutes and had drive to a restroom. It was partially my fault for ordering "Red," but I want my burger to be medium rare like it was intended. Real restaurants use the normal meat doneness chart used by every other restaurant, excluding the child menus.
Now let's talk about the meat. The meat is simple and somewhat flavorful, but overall not full of taste in any way. I know a great burger when I take the first bite, this was not one. Your burger is your calling card and this is your best effort? Sadly, PIttsburgh has made great strides in food, but gourmet burger joints have not kept up. BRGR and Meat and Potatoes have the only worthwhile burgers in the city. (I've not been to Winghart's.) The fries were slightly above average, but not great for a burger joint. This is your Robin to the BurgerBatman. And if Burgatory was a comic, it would be on the clearance rack.
