Counter Burger - My Go-To Make-Your-Own Order [FOOD]
They're pineapples are fresh and grilled! That's a summer must-have in my book :>
Other than that, I'm a pretty simple gal— no bun, organic baby greens, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, curly carrots, sliced pickles, and melted cheddar.
What's your favorite Counter Burger order? Or, way to eat a burger? Share in the Comments below, we've love to hear! :> xo
(Not pictured— they're cheddar cheese fries, which we always get, without fail :>)
Despite being past Labor Day and past the middle of September, we've had several warm days/evenings. Dining al fresco? Probably one of my favorite things to do in this state. So, I took advantage of the lighting and beautiful girl I was with, as we waited for our burger and munched on our cheese fries :> xo

Bunless Cheeseburger Over Baby Lettuce Salad Topped With Peanuts + Side Of Lemon Vinaigrette [FOOD+HEALTHYBUTJUICY+NUTRITION]
If you're looking to maybe eat a little healthier or perhaps lose weight, and love burgers, this might be a perfect dish for you. This burger cuts down on the calories by eliminating the bun, is packed full of protein to help keep you full along, fat to keep you satisfied, veggies for fiber and micronutrients (aka. vitamins/minerals), and a whole lot of flavor from all of the above.
Even more, split this with a friend or your date, and you've cut the calories in half.
I'm not personally trying to lose weight but hopefully these are some helpful tips when eating out if you are. I typically don't eat the buns of burgers, so this plate was clean by the time we were finished with it— no food wasted— and I heart my carbs elsewhere :>
There's another healthy eating tip for you: prioritize your consumption. Don't deprive yourself of anything completely, just try to figure out where you can cut back, NOT ELIMINATE, one or more categories that are adding up your caloric intake.

Cheesecake Factory's California Cheesesteak + Bacon Cheese Burger + Fries!
In search of a decent cheesesteak, we attempted the Cheesecake Factory's version. Jersey Mike's cheesesteak was ok (meh, so-so— still can't get over the pickled peppers...) and left us still craving and wanting something better.
Review of Cheesecake Factory's version: I was dubious of this so-called 'California' version but it actually wasn't too bad. The ingredients are fresh— especially the peppers (green and red), and there were even fresh mushrooms, as I would expect but which was lacking in Jersey Mike's version.
I think my only criticisms are 1) the bread is not the true 'authentic' bread— a soft sub— that I'm used to but give the bread credit for actually being better quality than the cheap stuff; and 2) the steak could have been sliced ever-so-slightly thinner. That's the thing about cheesesteaks IMHO: they're the ultimate in comfort food. They're savory, packed full of flavor, and easy to chew and swallow and repeat for another 7-8 inches more :>
But not bad, Cheesecake Factory, not bad. I'll be trying your Pit Beef Dip soon enough! :>
Here's my go-to menu item at the Cheesecake Factory: the Smokehouse BBQ Burger. I order it without all the sauces, essentially requesting a bacon cheese burger. That's the thing that made me doubtful of the 'California Cheesesteak'— I've learned that California tends to add sauce to sandwiches when it's unwarranted, essentially all the time. I'm a believer that the flavor of the actual ingredients should speak for themselves— beef, bacon, cheese? Why the heck would you need sauce with that?? imho.

Nothing Extraordinary About A Burger And Fries At A Fancy Restaurant
Just sayin'...
The beef was good, I give them that, but the patty was itty bitty, especially for the price.
This was the side order of mac-n-cheese we ordered for Nui Nui. Came with a breadcrumb topping and prosciutto on top— she barely at much of it.
