The Counter Creates…

April14

When a friend, my beau and I stepped into The Counter, we were greeted by a polite and sweet hostess who informed us that we would have to wait about 15 mins, but were welcome to have a seat in the bar or lounge waiting area. The art was hip, bursting with bright colors and cool graphics.

Once seated we ordered and received our drink orders quickly. We browsed the menu over our beers. The menu concept is simple; each patron is given a clipboard with several different options of ingredients to mix and match to make your perfect burger. Pick from 100% natural angus beef, chicken, turkey, veggie or market selection. Pick your a traditional hamburger bun, wheat bun, english muffin, or have it on mixed greens. Choose a cheese a sauce and your favorite toppings! (Over 30 to choose from!)

I chose a veggie burger on salad with goat cheese, onions, black bean&corn salsa, jalapenos, and tomatoes, with a chipotle aioli. It was awesome! The burger was moist and hand-made, all the toppings were fresh and mouth-watering.

My mate had a 2/3 pound ground beef patty with bacon, onions, mix greens, sprouts onion strings with gooey blue cheese on a whole wheat honey bun. All I can say is that, a burger like that makes me melt!

The Greek Side!

December9
I decided to check out a cool little wine shop in Hillcrest called Wine Steals. There they have a great tasting on Sunday’s, 6 generous tastes for $10 and I added  this great little Greek salad for $10 more.  It came with spinach, red onions, bell pepper, cucumber, tomato, kalamata olives, feta cheese and pesto dressing. It was awesome! I couldn’t ask for anything more in this salad.

This meal was eaten directly after Biff and I decided on an apartment. What makes a great burger better than sliders??? Check out the tasties we got an D&B’s. It was the freekin’ best!

Not only did they have the staples ketchup and mustard, they had spicy mustard, pickles onions, peppers and believe it or not SALSA!! This place is clean and relaxing, definitely a place to go to get a quality burger at a fair price.

I love Ahi!!!

Went to a restaurant near my work and couldn’t resist the tuna tar tar. It was tasty but would have liked something spicier! The music made up for it though.  This guy was playing the piano and singing pop music with an awesome show tunes voice. Next time I’ll make the tar tar at home, watch out!! xoxo
