Anybody know if anything is happening with the former Del's Restaurant in Bloomfield? It is hard to think it will sit empty for long.

The building is now owned by Herky Pollock of real estate firm CB Richard Ellis (CBRE). He has been contacted by several restaurateurs and is weighing the options. They want an iconic restaurant in that location.

Who's Herky Pollock? I see his name everywhere. Is he just a broker for CBRE, or something else?

That's the most Pittsburgh name possible.

It is a great name--it belongs in a novel. I do wonder, though, what it is short for? Hercules? Or is his full name Herky?

Herky (Hercules?) also owns a third of Burgatory. I wonder if that's what he means by "iconic."

I was thinking Herkimer? He lives in Squirrel Hill, so there's a ~50% chance he's Jewish. Maybe it's a shortened version of a Hebrew name?

That''s a distinct possibility. This from two years ago.http://www.google.com/url?q=http://w...bhyg_9yHFApFGQ

On one hand I hate to see Burgatory become so diluted. On the other hand, it is a prime location and a nice property. I would hate to see a revolving door of places serving high priced "fusion" that does gangbusters initially then fizzles out. People love burgers, beer and shakes. It would be a good addition to Bloomfield as the old red sauce places grow old and stale in Little Italy. A place like Burgatory will help Bloomfield hang with the big boys from a neighborhood standpoint. I kind of like it the way it is and I'm sure others do to, but places evolve.

On the other hand, does Pittsburgh (and especially Bloomfield) really need another burger joint?
