Known for its Other, Purgatory in Salt Lake City, Utah became a destination for food lovers after Guy Fieri pulled up for Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Sadly, Purgatory has since permanently closed its doors.
The restaurant was featured in Season 29, Episode 12 — an episode called “Whole Lotta Comfort” that first aired in 2019.
With a solid 4.4-star Google rating and more than 1,555 reviews, it’s clear that Purgatory delivers a dining experience worth talking about. The menu is moderately priced, making it accessible for a casual meal or a special outing.
Being featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is a major milestone for any restaurant. The show, hosted by Guy Fieri since 2007, has visited hundreds of restaurants across the country, shining a spotlight on the independent, owner-operated spots that define America’s food culture. For Purgatory, the DDD feature put Salt Lake City, Utah on the culinary map for viewers across the nation.
Although Purgatory is no longer serving customers, its appearance on DDD remains a lasting tribute to the food and the people who made it special.
