So when we first knew that we were heading to Seattle and Vancouver, I immediately poured over every food website and blog to see what I could discover, on Eater they showed the, 'Eater Seattle Heat Map'12' (sizzle sizzle....crack) and on it was Katsu Burger. Intrigued, I had to know further (I did I did) as it sounded like my two most favorite food items combined into one!! Could it be? Was this a sign from the Hindu Elephant God Ganesha, with his multiple arms reaching over to me beckoning me to enter Gluttonous Nirvana?!?!?

So, to preface, this place is way out of the center of the downtown area and inconvenient for tourists, (the only we were able to swing by was on the way to the airport and the LEED certified Starbucks) unless you're gonna make your way to the Museum of Flight down the street.
But it's worth it! The owner Hajime Sato, started off his culinary entrepreneurism with Mashiko, Seattle's first sustainable Sushi Bar and Restaurant, (check out his website, it's pretty funny about his mantra-'shut up and eat'...and how traditional Japanese music reminds him of elementary school and death).
When you walk in, you get a feeling that it's a fun place to be, offbeat colored walls, large open kitchen counter, world map with pins placed on the origins of customers who have eaten there, (we're the first from Vegas! Yay!)
So the Main offering here is Beef Burgers that are dipped inTempura Batter and then covered in Panko breading and then fried....OMG what is this heaven of deliciousness?!?! They also do it in a pork and chicken cutlet as well as Tofu (bleah bleah).

Starting off with the Fries, we tried the Shoestring Fries, one order with Curry and the other with Nori Seasoning with a Wasabi Mayonnaise and Tonkatsu Dipping Sauce. The portions here are huge, they come in a Chinese to go box and it is filled to the brim with lots of fries, we couldn't finish one order, much less two!! But it was well worth it, they were yummy; fried to a crisp, the seasonings were original and the sauces added to the flavor profile. I really thought they were some of the best fries we've had!
