Mystery Postal #412 was posted today. Check out the tracker at https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?trackerId=9803

For those who are new to mystery postals and for those who need a refresher the rules follow.

To get this postal you will have to guess the theme/name/subject of the stamp. Clues will be posted on the postal boards and on this tracker. I will try and post one per day. For each clue posted each person may make one guess prior to the next clue being posted.

Guesses should be sent to IrishRef via AQMail, not posted on the boards! Guesses will only be accepted from AQ members through AQMail.

Even if you have no clue take a guess anyway. Half the enjoyment is seeing the range of incorrect answers and how people connected clues for those guesses. You will only get a response from IR if you: A. Have the correct answer, B. Are very close or I need to clarify your guess, or C. Your guess peaks my fancy.

The first 10 members correctly guessing will be notified by AQMail. Tracker order will typically be determined by order correct answer receipt (Exception to this are international winners who will be at the end of the tracker). The correct answer with how each clue is related will be posted once the postal is full.

Warning - A few of the clues may give people pause. Trust me the clues will work and the correct answer will be tamer than some of the clues allude.

Clues:
1. Wonder why I skipped #411?

The answer to this is a unique restaurant chain in the Pittsburgh PA area. The chain is called Burgatory.

Clue explanation:
Clues 1 (412),4 - 586 and 8 - 5846 is the phone number for the North Shore branch. This is the one I visited recently.
Clue 2 Pink? As in do you want the meat cooked red, pink or no pink?
Clue 3 Diablo Dust. One of many flavoring for the meat.
Clue 5 Elk or bison? Two of several meats you can choose
Clue 6 Topless This how I had my burger. Means without a top bun. Adkins folks can also have them naked.
Clue 7 two of the many toppings. N'at is a Pittsburgh phrase for "and that".

Guarantee that the next mystery will not be about Pittsburgh.
