A Decadent New Burger
Things seeme to have cooled down a bit since the crazy days of summer when we first met the Cronut and the ramen burger, and mashup foods were everywhere you looked. Now that we’ve gotten some much-needed distance from that mixed-up time, Umami Burger is dropping another bomb on us, and I’m sure my friend Tom Steele, author of a Burgers cookbook, will want to take note: The Monte Cristo Burger by Michael Voltaggio. The Monte Cristo Burger will be available for a limited time at all Umami Burger locations starting January 28. The beast consists of a beef patty covered in Gruyere fondue and prosciutto, sandwiched between two vanilla custard-soaked buns that have been deep fried and dusted with powdered sugar. And if that isn’t enough, it comes with a side of maple syrup.
