One good thing that came out of John's time at the endodondist, was the "50 Best Burgers" issue of Texas Monthly, which was lying on the table in their waiting room. They let him take it home for free. (well, if you don't count the $300 it cost him not to get a root canal there) Thanks to that magazine, we ended up here at Counter Cafe in Austin last Saturday, having a mighty fine lunch. The menu was quite a surprise, including not just hamburgers, but also quail, crab cakes, and polenta breaded oysters, which is what I had. Extremely yummy! I'm only sorry we didn't nab a seat at the counter, better for watching the ballet being performed by the two bandana bedecked chefs. Be prepared for a bit of a wait on those benches outside, though. The cafe is exactly what you'd expect from its name - a long counter and a few small tables around the edge of the room, and we are not the only ones to have read that article ranking theirs the 2nd best burger in all of Texas!
