Valley Burger Wars: The Counter, New Gastropub Planned

There's a possible burger war a-brewin' in Studio City. Per LAist, The Counter will open a location on Ventura and Laurel Canyon this fall. Please recall that the company started an aggressive growth campaign last year; this is just one of many. In other burger news, Sapphire on Ventura will be close on June 1, and it's rumored that owner Will Shamlian wants to replace it with a burger/gastropub concept.
