LA: Day 5

One last place to visit during my final day in L.A.: the highly-acclaimed Umami Burger. GQ’s Burger of the Year mysteriously contains the “Fifth Taste”, a Japanese umami flavor that supposedly doesn’t quite fall into the standard categories of salty, sweet, sour, or bitter.

The titular Umami Burger, topped with a housemade ketchup special sauce and fried cheese.

The menu also has several other burgers, but we were curious about one of the fan-favorites:

The Truffle Burger. So. Damn. Good. Probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, and my last taste of L.A.
