Umami Burger Test Run

I love umami. This otherworldly flavor experience that stems from glutamate rich foods is a taste that I can't get enough of. So while reading about Umami Burger in California, I had to give it a try. Our burger meat is ground daily, providing a perfect foundation for my experiment. A quick search on the internet provided the recipe and I was on my way. As I added fish sauce and truffle oil  to my burger and ketchup, I kept thinking.. "No way this will fly in Bayside." So I was making it for myself, good enough. Topped with a Parmigiana Reggiano wafer, and this was a knockout. I am anxious to try the real thing when I get a chance.
