Holy Food Flashback Weekend Pt 1

I think my tweet summed it up best:
Worlds colliding! Eating @CounterBurger in Chi w/ @EACDubz instead of in Marina w/ @emilytex @noswadedawson @mrjiggyp
One of my favorite LA burger bars (and most frequented), the Counter, just happens to be a 10-minute walk from my new Chicago apartment. The burger gods must have sent me to Chicago for a reason so who am I to complain. I went with a 1/3 lb turkey burger on honey wheat with jalapeno jack, grilled onions, grilled pineapple, black bean salsa: a taste it you'll love it favorite of mine. Alas, I reached too high with the Sauce of the Month: tzatziki. Good thing it was on the side.

Other than the tzatziki misstep, the burger itself was just as delicious as I remember. The choices overwhelming, the toppings abundant and the fries enough to feed a small army. The decor was also essentially the same but the pictures of the Blues Brothers right next to Stacey Peralta & the rest of Z Boys was a little peculiar. Oh and the Bears game was on every TV.
