umami burger

if there is a burger place i love just as much as my favorite father's office,

it has to be the umami burger

which one do i love more? it's really a tough question because i love them both dearly!

so what does "umami" mean?
umami is a japanese word describing the pleasant and savory taste imparted by glutamate, a type of amino acid and ribonucleotides that occur naturally in foods
umami as a taste is subtle but it blends with other tastes well to expand your experience while eating

so here it goes with mouthwatering gourmet burger!

so far i only checked out three of their locations & noticed that each has their own unique decor-
since each location not only has unique decors but unique menus & only some have full bars, you might want to do your research before checking out a place-
also,  if it helps, la brea location has the tablet pc which you can play with if you get bored with..well, your 'date' ;)

do you love the old-fashioned soda bottles? 

if so, you will love umami burger even more! 

true. this means no 'refills' but you will get drinks that are extra fresh! 

salted caramel shake

please note that the menu might vary depending on the location

but you will be able to find the main yummers wherever you go :)
