I loves Pumpkin Spice, and apparently am the whitest white girl, according to Jeff Fu (of Wreckless Eating)
Every autumn the United States seems to jump all over Pumpkin Spice everything: lattes, cookies, cakes, candy, whatever else. It's such a big thing for some reason. The guys behind Umami Burger decided to jump on the bandwagon, and create a Pumpkin Spice Latte Burger. Dang gon Hippies!
The burger comes with tempura Japanese kabocha on top, and I got onion rings on the side. I tried to pair it with a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, but I drank the whole thing on the ride home.
I expected not to like it. I liked it. The sauce is sweet, and you can taste the nutmeg and all the spices that go into pumpkin pie. The tempura has a coffee molasses drizzle. It’s a burger with a hint of sweetness, not a dessert, and it isn’t over the top like a peanut butter and jelly burger.
The first time I went to Umami, I hated what I had. I went back for the spring menu and had a turkey burger that was phenomenal, and this one pushed them back over the top. I’d pair it with a coffee stout to cut the sweetness. It’s about twelve dollars. I’d say ten, but it’s worth a try.
Would you try Umami's Pumpkin Spice Latte Burger? Let me know in the comments below!
