| - So my partner in crime and I are headed to Burgatory, a chain of gourmet burgers that has piqued my interest for some time now. I'd like to say we walked into a hellish scene, but it was much tamer than all that. Clean, large dining area with a polite staff tamer. No one even said 'What the hell are you doing here', or 'What the hell do you want?' I guess you only get that on the damn tour at the Hoover Dam.
Anyway, we're welcomed as first timers and some of the intricacies are explained. Like there are no imps, and no, the burgers are not charred in the fires of... you ger the picture. We're soon seated in the patio are, pleasantly sealed and heated for winter service. No, it didn't freeze over.
What did freeze are the tasty flavored shakes. Had the pancakes and bacon shake, it was delicious and filling. I ordered the farmer's burger (eggs and ham to go with pancakes and bacon, and the baked beans side (ENGLISH breakfast!). The burger came out cooked perfectly to order, juicy and thick. Couldn't ask for a better burger out and I didn't even get the Angel dust (it's a seasoning rub!) or the Devil's dust on it. Next time I will be trying a rub.
The beans were spicy and smokey with good size bits of pork in them. Devilishly tasty! Purgatory is punishment for the wicked, Burgatory is punishment for the... nope, not punishment at all, just a nice place to enjoy a slightly expensive but very good burger.
On a side note, as there are so many options and the burgers so large, I'd like to see them offer a flight of sliders to show off their rubs and meat and topping combinations. This would be a good way for a couple people sharing a happy hour half price cocktail to grab a bite rather than the filling burger that is their standard fare.
