My “Too Large of an Order” Burger at The Counter

1/3 lb beef. Roasted green chilis. Honey cured bacon. Fried egg. Lettuce. Tomatoes. Caramelized onions. Jalapeno jack cheese. Roasted garlic aioli. All on a honey wheat bun. Not to mention the fried pickles, sweet potatoes fries, shoe string onion rings, and beer to go along with it. More than you can ask for lunch at The Counter before the games ahead at the TeachStreet Christmas Bonanza.

Burger Madness | 4117 4th Ave S - Seattle, WA 98134
Yet another burger joint in Seattle trying to set itself apart from everyone else. Burger Madness tries to position itself as the place with the most fresh and best ingrediants in town while trying to “make the best burger in the world”. That’s offly high and mighty for a small burger shop next to the flagship Costco warehouse on 4th Avenue.

They have a wide selection from “the spud”, a breakfast burger highlighting the hashbrowns, bacon and a fried egg; to the “so-cal” representing the california style avocado filled burger. I choose the country style “cowboy” with the onion rings since it seemed quite tasty, which it was, but very messy. Very messy.

The fries were lame, but the fry sauce definitely helped it out. Overall, it was just an ok overpriced burger and fries. They have a fun tradition though in posting the “stack ‘em high” hall of fame for people devouring 5+, 7+, and 10+ patties. Although, I’d rather hop into Costco and get the $1.50 polish and coke. Or just head to other local burger joints like Blue Moon Burger or Red Mill.

The Anatomy of the Meal:

• The Cowboy Burger: an onion ring stack topped with smoked backon, chedder cheese & Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce
• Crinkle french fries
• Signature fry sauce

Verdict: 2.5 / 5 stars (not original and way too expensive)
