The Counter - Re-Encountered

Jeremy and I decided to go to The Counter last night - which was weird, because he's staunchly refused to go there for over a year, and I admit - there are much better, cheaper burger options.

But we were doing laundry at our usual laundromat, and The Counter is in the same 'hood.

If you don't know what The Counter is - it's a fairly overpriced burger place where you create your own burger. You choose the burger size, meat, bun, sauce and toppings. Usually the burgers are a little dry and the toppings leave something to be desired (but they do let you get it on an English muffin, which is awesome).

Jeremy decided on a 4 beer / 4 mini burger pairing. Seemed to be pretty good, but he didn't drink all the beer in the flight. A trip to the Daily Pint during the wash cycle eliminated his need to drink any more.


We both split the dill pickle chips, which Jeremy rightly declared, "Good, but not as good as your dad's." Amen.

My burger was delicious:
1/3 lb beef patty - cooked medium
On an English Muffin *
With pickles
Carrot strings
Lettuce
Green Onions
and Spicy Sour Cream **

I don't know if we'll be back anytime soon (see comment about better and cheaper burger options), but it's good to know that they're more on their game than they used to be.

* I love English Muffins
** And Sour Cream
