So last week, I flew out to California from Thursday to Monday. And while that meant that I missed a TON of class, I had a blast. One of the beautiful things about California is not only the weather, but also the food. On Sunday, a few friends and I went out to lunch at the Counter. For those of you not familiar, Counter is a build-your-own burger place. We got regular fries and rosemary parmesan fries for the table, and then everyone got their own burger. I still think Stack'd (which is the Counter equivalent in Pittsburgh) is better, but everytime I say that, I get crazy looks from everyone. Burgatory is another build-your-own burger place, but it's a lot more like Counter than it is like Stack'd. Here's why I think Stack'd is the best.
Fries: Stack'd
Okay, while I love the Rosemary Parmesan fries at Counter and the Truffle Oil Gorgonzola fries at Burgatory, nothing beats the curly fries at Stack'd. They just go with the burger so well - and they're not too heavy, which means you're not in a food coma by the end of your meal. Another reason why Burgatory isn't here - you get chips with your meal. Like, potato chips. No.
Patty: Stack'd
Again, Stack'd. I always get the veggie patty, and Stack'd is just far far superior to the both of them. The patty at Burgatory is a little hard, and the patty at Counter is just not as flavorful and falls apart a little quicker then the ones at Stack'd.
Bread Options: Tie between Counter and Stack'd
Each place has a variety of bread options. The reason that the Burgatory isn't up there is I feel like their bread is a little oily
Toppings: Counter (I think)
I think Counter has the most free toppings. I could be wrong.,
Spicyness: Stack'd
Habanero peppers + the spicy sauce = death
Value for money - Stack'd
Overall Winner - Stack'd
Miscellaneous notes:
Stack'd appetizers are rip-offs - 5 jalapeno poppers that look like they came out of a frozen box for $7? No thanks
Burgatory Spiked Shakes are very boozy
The special fries at Counter and Burgatory are a tad oily
