If you're still scratching your head about what to do for Father's Day this year, the Counter is offering a pretty sweet deal where you can get your dad a free burger and give him a compliment at the same time. Win-win.
The Counter, which offers build-your-own burgers and pretty addictive sweet-potato fries, is doing their special at all their U.S. locations (except at airports) for the entire weekend, from June 20 to 21.
The way it works is that when your server comes to your table, all you have to say is: "My Dad is a BFD" (as in "big f---ing deal"). Then your dad will get a free standard 1/3-pound burger as long as someone at the table orders something, too.
There are a few different locations in the Los Angeles area, including downtown L.A., West Hollywood and Century City. Visit the Counter's website here for info on locations.
