The fifth taste


For all Los Angels and everyone who is visiting LA (except vegans) need to check out my new favourite burger place, Umami Burger.

Umami is Japanese and is a fith way of how human tastes. We can taste sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami.
Umami is making different tastes blend together better. It's sort of like how oil mixes different colours together.
Most of us can't put the finger on what umami tastes like exactly but it plays a major role in how food tastes.

At Umami Burger the chef has created a few different burgers and you can take off whatever you want to but he won't add anything to his creations as they are already "perfect". The sides of hand cut french fries and onion rings are good but are not the reason why you should go there.

An Umami Burger might not be the healthiest choice for dinner but it is a trip to paradise for your taste buds and is absolutely worth it. What would life be without love, music and good food (even if it contains more fat than cucumber).

Check out their website http://umamiburger.com or just go to 850 S La Brea Ave Los Angeles, CA. (La brea, just south of Wilshire)
