Umami Burger recently teamed up with Impossible Foods in order to serve the famed Impossible Burger at its west coast locations. As a result, Umami Burger is the first and only chain restaurant to serve the heavily publicized burger.
The Impossible Burger is a 100 percent plant-based burger made from simple ingredients such as wheat, coconut oil and potatoes. However, what makes the Impossible Burger different than other veggies patties is the addition of heme, which makes the faux meat smell, sizzle and even bleed like real beef.
Umami Burger's Impossible Burger features two of the meat-mimicking patties alongside American cheese, caramelized onions, dill pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, miso mustard and house spread. The result is a vegetarian-friendly burger that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning carnivores.
