A deliciously dangerous threat to your waistline. – Please disregard the snark pouring from L.A's particularly brutal burger core. Any burger joint that goes from one measly La Brea outpost in 2009 to five prime L.A. locations and a GQ Burger of the Year nod in 2011 is worth a shot. Adam Fleischman's experimental chain has some of the juiciest, most savory burgers in this burger n' dogs-crazy town. Try the truffle burger for the house-made cheese, or the Hatch for its perfectly spicy green chilies. Umami sets itself apart wi... read more

REALLY GROSS IF YOU ARE VEGETARIAN – I recently went to Umami burger and ordered their veggie burger. While I waited I could not take my eyes off the piles of bloody meat they had out.

Go on, order the truffle burger, the Port and Stilton, or the classic Umami that started off this whole thing. Don’t forget to add a side of thick wedge fries architecturally arranged next to some homemade ketchup. If you have room, there’s... read more

Savor the Umami – If you’re bored with the same old four tastes: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter, then Umami Burger is the place for you! Head to this burger joint to discover the “fifth taste,” or savoriness, as it’s more commonly called. With so many burgers options in LA (Father’s Office, 8oz, In-N-Out, The Counter), it’s hard to set oneself apart, but Umami Burger manages this task with ease. While this is not their original location (that one is on La Brea), their “Umami Urban” location offers up much more. For starters,... read more
