| - First time in Phoenix Arizona and I decided to take a walk about downtown.
The vibe is hipster and business, makes sense with the presence of ASU & major executive buildings, city hall and the convention center all centralized, you can tell who comes where from the way they appear.
I was coming in from Mesa and wanted to do a little sight seeing.
As I stepped off the LightRail subway, immediately you can feel the beefy of the people, like a tiny dose of Chicago or New York - lets throw in Los Angeles in the mix too.
student bristling past me along with office people from different work backgrounds and all I could do in my laid back Hawaiian style swagger was watch it all and soak it in.
I could smell all the wonderful eateries wafting in the air as I took pics of all the wonderful architecture of tall statuesque building with wonderful details to add to their monumental stature.
I just happen to walk by The Counter, the aroma emitted from this corner eatery was very inviting. I'm a very meat eating carnivore that loves steaks and burgers!
Automatically after walking around, I was very much into trying out this gem!
I walked in and Mick, the bartender immediately greeted me, just as he continued to do so with every other customer after me.
He was quick to ask me if I wanted a drink - PBR BABY! Yes, I'm a little ghetto - and it was served in a can which I prefer!
I was half distracted to do some social media when Mick showed me how to create my own burger. So, many choices but all sounded delicious.
I placed my order and not even 15 minutes, my order was brought out, fresh and hot. The only thing was the chef forgot my sun dried tomatoes. That is forgivable.
After my first bite, it truly didn't need it, my eyes were bigger than my palette in this situation.
Mick offered some small talk, I applaud is genuine interest in his guests and actually gave me some great insight on where else I could go to enjoy some good music while I'm here.
The food is affordable, it's also a fairly new place open around a year now.
I would recommend anyone to come and visit, the burgers are cooked to your liking (side note: I love my burger rare - and it was cooked perfectly! Seared and flavorful with the creaminess of avocado, pickles, and a roasted garlic aoli!
My side was expertly crispy fried sweet potato fries which I could not finish because my burger was gargantuan!
If in Phoenix, check it out and at least have lunch and cocktails there!
Welcome to Phoenix, AZ!
