| - I remember once upon a time--about, oh, five years ago--when I lived in a typical New England college town. A few months before I graduated, the most fabulous, incredible, mind-blowing restaurant showed up (or at least the most fabulous, incredible, mind-blowing restaurant since the cookie-&-doughnut delivery place Sugar Jones). It was aptly called Fatso's, the premise was custom-built burgers & fries (and oh, the fries...), & it forever ruined me by giving me the ultimate discriminating veggie-burger palate. No more bland TVP patties for me. I demand the best.
Thanks to Fatso's, every single veggie burger I've tried in the 'Burgh has been a disappointment. D's is good, but not great. Double Wide: consistently a letdown. Even Quiet Storm couldn't cut it for me. But Burgatory rocked. My. World. Maybe it was the two half-price drafts I downed in 30 minutes to take advantage of the awesome happy hour special ($3.00 Rogue!!!!!). Maybe it was the mere thought of the grilled mushrooms & fried egg on my burger to come. But after one bite, I was smitten. Well-textured with added flavor from nuts, balanced spices, & the fantastic grain mustard & garlic mayo topping my roll, this veggie burger now holds a special place in my heart as my favorite.
All in all, great veggie burger, great happy hour, good shakes, & leaps and bounds better than the other restaurants (Fuel & Fuddle, Uncle Sam's, Joe Mama's) owned by the same purveyors.
