Counter Cafe

Zach:  It was kind of exciting to see Counter Cafe on the schedule.  Our first trip here scored pretty highly and it was a memorable burger and a good time.  Have to say expectations can play in to things, because this trip was solid but not nearly as good.  On the first trip we came during a weekday and they were not too crowded and the attention to detail on the burgers and fries was really high.  This time around things seemed a bit off and sloppy.  They definiately do have the freshest ingredients (lettuc, tomatoes, etc) of any burger place around but the primary component - the meat - was not perfect.  Also the sides were not as good for me as last time.  The first time I had the sweet potatoe fries they were crisp but soft inside.  This batch was rather greasy and dark brown.  Still OK, but I had declared their SPF's to be the best in town after I had them last time.  Overall a solid outing, but I think this would be considered an upset considering the team's opinions of Your Mom's Burger bar in the past and Counter Cafe's first round score.  But that's how it goes, on any given night a burger place can put out a spectacular burger or a sub-par one, and on this particular match-up, Your Mom's came stronger on the strength of the Buffalo Bill which was enough to catch Counter Cafe off guard for the win.
