I finally made it to The Counter in Crows Nest. Amy first told me about it months ago and ever since I’ve read blog post after blog post by mates who’ve been there. We tried to go there a couple a months back but, much to my disappointment, it’s closed on Mondays.

We got there just before the lunch rush. The line was out the door.

I was really impressed with the onion rings- crispy and full of onion flavour. Yum! The sweet fries could have done with another few minutes in the fryer but they were still pretty good.

And now for the main attraction, my custom built burger with American cheese, fried pineapple, fried onions, tomato, lettuce and garlic aioli. What a beast!

The quality of the burger was actually really good. All the ingredients tasted fresh and the beef patty was cooked to perfection. I’m proud to say I demolished the burger. My work mates watched in amazement, they didn’t think I could finish it but I did!
