Strangely enough, even sitcoms are doing episodes about the perfect burger experience.  But ask yourself, are you a true burger connoisseur?  Do you even know the difference between a McD’s or an In-n-Out or a backyard grill or a gourmet?  Can you even appreciate eating a burger made of meat that has never been frozen?  My sister literally calls this the “best thing to happen to Palo Alto in a decade,” and as a Stanford alum, that is saying a LOT.  The Counter is cool and gets a big thumbs up.  Once you have built your own burger you can then spend the next few minutes anticipating it while you down a malt made before your eyes and inhale about a basket full of sweet potato fries that epitomize the delicate balance between crispy and chewy.  The staff is great; rarely do you see such accommodating folks.  Just check it out.
