Umami Burbank

When Papoo’s Hot Dog Show closed its doors last year, Adam Fleischman and Allen Ravert saw another great location for their Umami Burger empire. Umami Burbank, bordering Toluca Lake, officially opens on July 29. The restaurant is serving seven different gourmet hot dogs, as well as the beloved Umami menu items. The Show Burger only is served at this location. It’s an Umami patty topped with Hak’s barbecue sauce, crispy onion rings, bacon lardons and beer cheese. Hak’s barbecue sauce is made by Sharone Hakman, the Fox Network’s Master Chef who became a hit on the show when he crafted a barbecue sauce with sophisticated flavors. The judges declared his sauce “a secret weapon.” 4300 Riverside Dr. (818)433-3680.
