And by golly I'm going to repeat the info for y'all, because:
]
1) I like the burgers at The Counter
2) Any discount there is good since their food is kinda expensive when you think about it.
The deets are this: You have to get your dad, or yourself, or whoever wants to pass as a father, to say “I want the BFD!” during the day of the promotion. (BFD = Burger For Dad). The offer is limited to one “standard burger with included toppings per customer accompanied by a paying guest. Additional and premium toppings such as extra cheese, avocado, fried egg and honey cured bacon are extra.”
If you're treating your dad, you probably want to spring for a glass of beer to make up for that tie you got that he's never going to wear. You did get his burger for free after all.
The Counter, 6416 Irvine Blvd., Irvine, (949) 336-7272; www.thecounterburger.com. Open Mon.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Sun., 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Dinner for two, $30, food only. Beer and wine.
Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias “elmomonster” on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
