NOTE: There was no post last week due to both of us celebrating Easter/Passover. We hope all of you had a great holiday!
When I first heard of The Counter Burger, I was intrigued with the California-based chain after finding out on their website that there are over “312,120+ different burger combinations” to choose from. Tonight, Anna and I finally had an opportunity to give The Counter Burger a shot, even though there are far more superior burger joints in our fine city. Anna opted to try the Old School, a signature burger that included Tillamook cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and red relish. I, however, was ambitious and decided to build my own custom burger. My toppings included Tillamook cheddar cheese, lettuce, red onions, roasted red peppers, honey cured bacon and sweet BBQ sauce with a pretzel roll. We also ordered a “Fifty-Fifty” plate of sweet potato fries and onion strings. Overall, our burgers tasted really fresh and were not heavy at all and the sweet potato fries were delicious. If you don’t have the patience to wait two hours for a burger like some of us do, The Counter Burger is a quick option that is worth trying out.
