Burgers Bring in the New Year......

Traveling to West Hartford for J&M's Engagement Party & knowing that I would be meeting up with Howard M, my motivation to find the best burgers was in full effect. After picking Howard and Barb up at the airport, we headed directly to Plan B (http://www.planbburger.com)
After 2.5 hours in the car I had built up a big appetite SO I ordered the Baja Burger which consisted of a 2/3 lb Angus Beef, Lettuce, Tomato, Guacamole, Jalapeños, & Sautéed Onions.
Size Matters.....

After a very big night.....on New Years Eve, we were in desperate need of some Hangover Helper.....Jenn suggested we try The Counter: 21st Century's bold answer to the classic burger joint http://www.thecounterburger.com
The place was just what we wanted. Custom made to order with anything and everything you wanted on them....I wasted no time and ordered Onion Rings & Fried Pickles for the table. They were consumed in less than 5 minutes by our table of 6.
For my burger, I chose the 2/3 lbs patty once again and topped it with Pepper Jack Cheese, Green Chilies, Sautéed Onions, Bacon & Jalapeños. When it arrived, I was impressed....
Served open face to show the massive amount of bacon, I gazed in pure burger bliss then topped it with the bun and got ready to dig in...with a side of Russian of course......

Howard M decided to FLEX and order the 1 LBS BURGER......loaded with Pepperjack, Chilies, Jalapeños & Sautéed Onions with a side of Guac........a real ring stinger.....
Pretty Impressive M. Good work

It was amazing. I highly recommend this place & am already looking for potential sites here in Boston.........

Until next time,
