Excuse the Messy Onions
My burger from a recent visit to The Counter Burger at Kahala. As usual, great burger, just excuse the messy onions.

The Snooze Burger at The Counter
I gotta call this custom The Counter creation the Snooze Burger. Grilled pineapple, gruyere cheese, dill pickle chips, roasted red peppers, roasted corn and black bean salsa.
After eating this, I napped for a looong time. Or it could have been the fries, or the sweet potato fries, or the peanut butter shake…
Thanks to The Counter!
Just wanted to say thanks to The Counter for giving Hawaii its own Twitter special last night. If you bought two burgers on “Twitter Tuesday” then you’d get either free sweet fries or a dessert.
To beat the crowds, we got there a tad bit early but got the okay that the special would still apply. :)Â We went with the traditional Counter Burger, my custom creation, a peanut butter shake, and some free sweet fries.
So ono!
And by the time we were leaving, the mass of Hawaii tweeters were congregating for their Counter dinner. And oh yeah, congratulations to Ryan Kanno for being voted the most addicted to The Counter. In his honor, I call my custom made Counter burger “If Kanno Were a Carnivore.”
The Most Addicted to The Counter Burger Is…
The people have spoken, and the undisputed, most addicted fan of The Counter burgers is none other than Ryan Kanno. @ryankanno garnered over half the votes, beating the fanatic likes of @abaggy and @angelakeen.
Even with an impassioned entreaty for Pinoy support, @abaggy couldn’t keep up with the social engineering of Mr. Kanno. Congratulations Ryan! You get pulpy bragging rights until next time where contenders like @melissa808 are already lining up.
A Social App for The Counter Burger?
Some initial brainstorming for a social app for The Counter Burger just for fun.
How about matching up tastes and menu selections from other customers in other locations. See similar favorites for new possible combinations. Make suggestions on new menu combinations based upon your previous selections. Name your custom built burger which is then suggested to other patrons. See all names of similar or same custom created burgers. Customers can rate your custom created burger and recommend/share. List top rated custom creations (in general, vegetarian, by toppings, etc.). Build “ultimate” menus of sandwiches, starters, and drinks.
By geography and store, breakdown most popular burger choices, french fries, and shakes. Mobile pics of creations.
For users, list previous visits and orders/creations (along with rating of meal).
Must have iPhone version of app. Shake iPhone to randomly suggest a custom creation to try. Show specials of the month (burger and shake). Find/list locations of The Counter by geolocation. Get directions, phone number, hours.
And there goes the brainstorming as I get distracted by Twitter.
