Burger Joint - The Counter

  • So tonight my friend is in town and wants to go to The Counter (a burger joint), her favorite Chicago restaurant for dinner...

    Luckily, there are some good choices, I just hope I stick to the healthier stuff and not eat fries - or break down and get a regular burger.

    So, to be accountable, here is what I am ordering:

    Veggie Burger Bowl on mixed greens (3 pts), Gruyere cheese (2pts) = 5pts
    Red onion, sprouts, pickles, peperocini's with 10 calorie steak sauce = 0pts

    I'm actually counting it as 7 points since restaurants rarely post accurate nutritional info.

    Hopefully I'll stick to this plan. In my head I keep repeating (no fries with roasted garlic aioli, no fries with roasted garlic aioli, no fries with roasted garlic aioli). Also, I've never had the veggie burger there... I'm a huge beef fan, so this will be mini torture for me
