UMAMI BURGER

By accident, I ended up trying my first Unami Burger when I was visiting Fred Segal's.  I ordered inside at the bar and ate outside at a communal table.  The man at the bar just got over a rush of people and he was so kind and considerate to me, helping me to chose the amber ale.  It was Strands Beach House Amber, I would buy it I liked it so much.  I didn't order the fancy truffle burger.  I ordered the chickpea patty, No, I didn't.  Really, I could have ordered the Manly Burger with beer-cheddar cheese, smoked-salt onion strings, bacon lardons, yum!  But, no I got the hatch Burger, which is a burger with roasted green chilies, American cheese, roasted garlic aioli.  I thought that this would be a good combination but they could have kicked it up a notch, with the heat.  It was good, but a tease.  You know, I think I'll go to Umini today for the manly burger.
 The second time I was also at Fred Segal's.  This time I sat outside the crowd where you take your burger to go.  The third time that I came across Umini Burger I was walking around in Westwood.  I just finished lunch so I didn't eat.   The staff was kinda snooty, but I did recommend another burger joint to compare.  I wasn't complainin but I guess they got the just of it.  This burger rates an 8.
