The Counter has opened next to Whole Foods in the Kahala Mall.
And it has immediately become one of my favorite burgers on the island.
And I'm not just saying that because my friend Daniel Dae Kim is a partner there.
Those of you familiar with the L.A. restaurant can attest, these guys know how to make a burger.
And you get to tell them EXACTLY how you like it.

A bunch of my friends rave about this place, and I have yet to try the one near me. What's your burger of choice?
ahhh i just found out there is one near me in salt lake city! i'm going to go as soon as i can. looks delicious.
Can I get one with blue cheese and bacon? That's my absolute favorite.
Never heard of them so I had to dig em up- Looks pretty kick ass and the burgers look huge..... Now to get one on the East Coast
My favorite burger is the BACON CHEESEBURGER at Cheesebuger in Paradise.
Jorge, PLEASE tell me you've had it.
oh I used to live only a couple miles from one in Palo Alto. Delicious burgers to be sure.
Oooh! There's one near me! I must try it! Thanks for the endorsement.
Ooh...*insert lewd comment here where I tell the burger people how I like it..." hehe
Ooooo, they have fried pickles! I love fried pickles...
...but I want one. Us east coast folk have no "The Counter" or "In and Out Burger." We have Five Guys though... that counts for something...right?
...And now I'm hungry again...
Mmmm burgers! Now I have a whole 'nother reason to visit Hawaii!
Nice!!! It should do well!
they have one in Irvine, CA too!
Having just left Santa Monica, I really miss The Counter. I used to work a block away, and had one every week. Daniel is smart to own some of that restaurant.
RecoveringActor - we have Five Guys out here too now - in Orange County and LA.
@Liz their website shows they're planning to open some on the east coast: http://www.thecounterburger.com/comingsoon/ -- but wha? how could one open in Ireland first?? Damn.
Ill trade you-I love a good burger-especially one made with real burger :)
Hey Jorge, if you're not on Yelp you should check it out!

Better than Father's Office??
There is a counter in my town now too. And just when I'm trying to lose weight.
25 degrees in LA is AMAZING.....hmmmmmmm. shame i got my wallet stolen in Hollywood. thinkin about it...Pink's Hotdogs were great too
i heart the counter. i'm lucky enough to have two w/in driving range of me (one here in San Jose, and one just up the way in Palo Alto). Hugely nomable burgers. i haven't been since my boyfriend dumped me. i need to go... i miss those burgers (almost more than i miss the boy).
If you have a chance, do you think you could write a post with the names of your fave restaurants/stores/things to do on Oahu? We're visiting the island in May and I'd love to get some ideas from someone who lives there! Thank you!
Watch out for Stacy! She sounds like a potential stalker! :P
yummy yummy !
I'll be sure to stop by...next time I'm in Kahala.
nice!! ^_^
Ooh! Thanks for the heads up! I travel occasionally, but nowhere near as often as I like, so I'm glad to hear that they're planning to open Counters locations on the east coast too.
They have one of those in Palo Alto, CA. It's me and my sister's burger joint of choice. Delish.
Awesome! Me and my Hubby are headed to Oahu on Monday. We will have to check it out while we are there. He loves a good burger!
Jorge, I've been reading your blog for a while without commenting. but I have to agree with you -- Counter is AMAZING! & I didn't realize that Daniel was a partner; that's awesome. I hope it continues to do well, because it's such a great concept & really well-executed. & their beer selection is fantastic!
& while I'm commenting, let me just say that I absolutely love your work on Lost (shocking to hear, I'm sure) & your writing style generally. even if you didn't play one of my favorite characters on my favorite show, I'd still enjoy reading your blog. :)
been meaning to get over there - ddk came to my anniversary thing and told me there was like a 45 min wait to eat that night. good but bad. badgood.
burger in a bowl sound mean tho.
I just took the Kualoa Ranch tour and got to snap a picture with your Hurley's Golf Course sign.
Now it looks like I have to go eat a burger at Daniel's burger joint...
Cat's don't like tomatoes.
Birds don't like cats.
Cats like birds.
Get a cat, problem solved, you may have to train nunu though, could be an interesting experience though.
I need a good burger.
I went to the one in Palo Alto, CA, when I lived out there. A bit pricey, but it was really yummy. The sweet potato fries were awesome.
OK...almost burnt with american cheese and crispy bacon.
Oh, you meant tell them. ;)
Hi Jorge
Thought I would add a video I found about the opening of The Counter with DDK included.
Enjoy

The Counter simply Rocks.
Tried to get in to have a burger, the line was out the door! At least 20 people in line...Must be good
Hi, Jorge! I've enjoyed looking through your blog--a lot!
Thought you might want to know that many keepers at LA Zoo are BIG fans of LOST, and so, we have animals named after the following characters:
Jack, Kate, Juliette, Sawyer, Dharma, Smokey, Desmond, Jacob, Dave, Ben and.....(ta dahhhh) Hurley! He's the newest and best-looking Guinea pig in our Education programs.
If you're ever in town, please come by and meet them/us.
I know that your article makes sense, but because of the livelihood of release I had to come here to spam, I hope you can forgive me. thank you. Expect you to write better articles..maybe you will like this if you are fashion.

There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear. He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.
Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. nike shoxsSo he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back.

"Sure.....yeah!", he replied.
She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the whiskey on her hand.
