Vivian Howard Instagram – A few weeks ago @jcarolinebarbee and I timed it to stop by the newish concept from @chefandthef and try her casual restaurant for lunch, The Counter @chefandthefarmer
We got there just as they opened at noon. There was a small line and you place your order as you enter and then grab a seat somewhere. We went with a window table . I then ordered a cocktail from their small bar on the back wall of the counter. Quite tasty!
They team up with local breweries & their beer options may be different for March than what was available in February so don’t trust my video capture on that.
Caroline had the salad and I ordered the smash burger (it was thicker than I typically find smash burgers to be but good!)i asked for a side of the blueberry bbq sauce to top it with and 💯
I got their mac and cheese with fried onion straws 😋 if you know me you know I don’t like any toppings in my mac and cheese 😂 believe me when I say I inhaled the fried onions and even put some on my burger.
