Accolades

The Counter was launched into the public eye when Gayle King mentioned it on The Oprah Winfrey Show on February 24, 2006,[3][4] It has also been listed as number 15 on Alan Richman's The 20 Hamburgers You Must Eat Before You Die in GQ Magazine.[5]

In the August 14, 2005 issue, Nation's Restaurant News named The Counter as one of "2008's Six Hottest Concepts." [6]

Locations

At 45 units, The Counter is a mostly full-service, build-your-own burger concept. The company is also growing a fast-casual sister concept called BUILT Custom Burgers, which has six locations in the US, one in Canada, and one in Ghana.[7]

gollark: It seems like AMD could have done a much better job than they did, though.
gollark: DRAM is what regular RAM sticks use: it uses a lot of capacitors to store data, which is cheap but high-latency to do anything with, and requires refreshing constantly. SRAM is just a bunch of transistors arranged to store data: it is very fast and low-power, but expensive because you need much more room for all the transistors.
gollark: They say they have 200 MB of SRAM on each (16nm) chip. That sounds hilariously expensive.
gollark: It's cool that they have a Vulkan-based version instead of just supporting CUDA only.
gollark: Swap on TPU *when*?
