There the fries are cooked twice like they are supposed to be. Wish they did it in lard though. Sigh. Oh, don't bother ordering a hot dog in Five Guys. Man, was that a dumb idea. Almost no dog toppings. I might as well show up to a gun fight with a knife next. Speaking of chains, what about Fat Burger? (for you In-and-Out Cali-forn-eye-a transplants) One in Robinson, one in Cranberry. Choice of steak fries, or regular.

A pile of Tessaro's home fries -- crusty black on one side and fluffy on the other, covered with what dribbled out of your burger as you ate it -- is perfection. Not that I have anything against fries, of course. If I may cloak myself in the mantle of Internet righteousness: you philistines.

Their fries require malt vinegar and for best results should not come into contact with ketchup. Tiffany is entirely correct.

I never really understood the Tessaro's phenomenon. With respect to meat sandwiches (not only or necessarily burgers) what I really miss about Pittsburgh is Fat Heads.

But then I'm cheap and, lucky me, I don't like fries. I believe Tessaro’s is the only actual restaurant in Pittsburgh – service + rare meat + alcohol + pleasurable space.

It's bland, not fatty enough, and the bun is bad. I don’t even like Tessaro’s as a burger qua burger. It’s bland, not fatty enough, and the bun is bad.

But they're still good burgers and reasonable, if excessively salty, fries. Benoit, they fry their fries in peanut oil, so no on the lard, and they don’t have grilled cheese.
