The Counter

I really like being able to go to a restaurant and be able to have total control on the dish I'm about to devour. It makes the whole dining experience seem more unique and somewhat personal since you are able to make your own creation (and not have to worry about cleaning the dishes hahaha)

So when my Car and I decided to hit Santana Row for some retail relaxation, she took me to this really cool burger joint called "The Counter". The place had a diner-esque setting but in a very modern and hip vibe.

Customization! Just as it says on their tagline

The order form. Just mark everything that your heart desires

(and hope it would all merry together and taste good haha)

We had Sweet Potato Fries for starters. Just can't get enough of these!

and for my order..

I selected a 2/3 lbs. burger with caramelized onions and ripened Brie

nestled on rustic ciabatta bread

I was really happy with my order. At first I was hesitant about the Brie because it might not have as strong flavors as Gruyère which was another option however the ripened Brie gave a subtle creamy and smooth cheese flavor that highlighted the flavors of the burger.

I can't wait to go back and whip up another ultimate burger!
