umami burger

i'm a little behind on this one.  umami burger has been around for a little while with a few locations.  they've been rated extremely well by the press - both locally and nationally.  just do a google search.  you'll learn plenty about this la-based burger destination.

and i gotta say, it lived up to the hype.  sure, the prices were high - but i've grown to expect that in los angeles county.  there are other great places around - a few of my favorites: lucky devil's, father's office, oinkster, and even chains like tommy's, in-n-out, and fatburger - but umami's flavor is really special, and stands out in a crowded burger town.  the unique toppings were delicious, the patty was incredibly juicy, and the homemade buns were the icing on the cake.
