VEGAN AT UMAMI BURGER- Los Angeles, CA

For those of you unfamiliar with this popular burger chain, Umami Burger is super hip and delicious burger joint. I first heard of it when I saw a paparazzi pick of Zac Efron (yes, that’s right. The kid from those High School Musical movies I was obsessed with for most of my middle school life until I started watching LOST) coming out of it. 

The name comes from the word Umami- our fifth sense, the sense for savory! And boy are these burgers savory! Umami Burger actually does have a vegan burger (With, of course, modifications). It is called The Earth Burger and basically it is a mushroom & edamame patty. Leave out the bun and the ricotta, feel free to keep on the carmelized onions, lettuce (To substitute for a bun) and  roasted tomato! (Skip the aoili) 

Fun place to bring your carnivorous, flesh-eating friends! They also have an ahi-tuna burger for pescitareans. 

I wouldn’t necessarily go out of your way to grab one of these patties, but if you find all your friends going out for burgers at Umami, you won’t have to stay at home! (#likealways)
