A NEW build your own burger restaurant has officially opened in Glasgow. 

The Counter Custom Burgers opened its first UK restaurant at the Quay. 

The Counter offers a checklist-style menu of over 100 ingredients, through which burger fans are granted the freedom to build the burger or salad that suits their specific palates and lifestyles.

From six proteins including vegan/veggie patty, beef, chicken, turkey, and salmon (single or double) to the 14 cheeses, 23 sauces, 34 toppings, six buns, four fresh green bases (on lettuce blend, mixed greens, spinach or kale), and nine sides, foodies have an abundance of options.

Khalid Iqbal chairman of Daniel Johns Group, who holds the master franchise license in the UK, said: "“We are proud to open The Counter in Glasgow and bring the ultimate burger experience from LA to the UK.

 “We have exciting plans for developing The Counter in the UK committing £20m to this new venture over the next five years.” 

Jeff Weinstein, founder and co-CEO of The Counter, added: “We built The Counter as a space for guests to create burgers without limits and to have fun in the process. We’re excited to work with Khalid Iqbal and Daniel Johns Group to expand the concept throughout the UK.”
