Umami Burgers....Worth the price ??

Just found out that Umami Burgers have opened a branch in Thousand Oaks (Nate and Als Deli old spot )
Looked at the menu online , as I've never been to an Umami Burger before. The burgers sound great but they are pricey....$10.00 to $15.00 per burger befor adding any sides (i.e. fries rings, etc. )
anyone tried these ?
I dont mind paying if this is a GREAT burger

Thank you

Umami Burger Open Now in Westlake Village at The Lakes Strip

This is in The Lakes at Thousand Oaks..............not to be confused with The Westlake Promenade

"Top 40" favorite dessert recipes

Those look prety damn good !!!

Electric smoker pulled pork

IMHO 1 hour of smoke will just not give you the flavor, not to mention the all important "smoke ring". When I smoke my pork butts, I smoke em all the way with lite smoke the whole time. Cook to 190-195 degrees, rest for an hour or three and pull and eat. Doesnt get much better than that.

Five Guys vs. In-N-Out

"In 'n Out also has better shakes, but 5 Guys makes a good shake." I thought 5 guys doesnt sell shakes?

looking for killer bar food

couldn't agrre with you more re: Fathers Office. This is exactly the pompus bs I refered to in my original post....food delicious but all the rest, well, just not worth it

looking for killer bar food

"If you want great food at a bar, F.O.. is the only place to be"

Really?? the only place to be, wow, looks like they have got you sold, my post was just looking for other options.....and to quote you "geez "

looking for killer bar food

You know the place...good selection of ice cold beer and great eats, i.e. burgers, sliders, tacos, sandwiches and such. Kind of like Fathers office without the pompus bullsh*t. The kind of place where you finish the last bite and turn to who you are with and say "wow, that was really good"

Parboiling Baby Back Ribs???

Plese enlighten me....you say Parboiling "is definitely a good method to produce award winning ribs." ....... I have never heard of anyone getting an award for BBQ'd ribs cooking in this method. Every BBQ pitmaster that I have ever heard, seen, or read oppose boiling in any way. The flavor loss is just not worth the time saving.

Langer's Pastrami

Been to both several times and for me, Langers is the better of the two. Its the bread that brings it to another level. That rye bread with its crusty exterior and the soft warm insides is shear perfection. Paired with the salty,peppery,juicy pastrami,and I think Katz pastrami is on par,I dont see how a pastrami sandwich can get any better than this.......Damn, its almost 4 and I'll never make it in time, oh well, there is always tomorrow
