    The famous Umami burger. Umami, the so-called “fifth” taste (next to salty, sweet, bitter, and sour), is best described as “savory”. This burger exemplifies that concept by including mouth-watering ingredients such as a parmesan crisp, roasted tomatoes, grilled shiitake mushrooms, housemade ketchup, and caramelized onions. Definitely a step up from In-N-Out, the Umami burger is perfect for people like me, who can’t digest a pound worth of meat at one time but nonetheless enjoy burgers (as long as they include ingredients beyond beef). I checked out the La Brea location when I was in Los Angeles, but there are also two others in the city. Umami Burger850 South La Brea AvenueLos Angeles, CA 90036(323) 931-3000
