The Competition

LA needs to step it up - there isn't a burger in the city that can challenge some of these creations.

CAFE MIDI

Cafe Midi is located inside (and outside) American Rag.

The guy on the right just received a call from his friend about the Midi burgers...
"They're delicious"
"I'm on the way!"

I had the Ground Sirloin Burger with Pink Grapefruit,
Mixed Greens, Tomato Provencale, Horseradish, Caramelized Onions,
and a Side of Fruit Salad

I've been wanting to try fruit on a burger for a long time, and although mine was a little overcooked, it satisfied the craving.

Their salads are pretty magnificent and tend to upstage the hamburger menu.

This a place worth trying out, but the ground meat is a little tough and not as fresh as it could be.

My friend Tye tipped me off to their soft opening.

It's a very simple Japanese influenced setting.

Mmmmm.... Too many amazing choices.

Lance has lots of fingers to hold his burger together while he stuffs his face.

Look at the way the meat perfectly falls apart.
Every bite melts in your mouth.

Mike eats a burger the way old English women drink tea.

All gone.

One of 3 meat grinders in the kitchen - Umami never freezes their meat and it's always freshly ground. This is the first perfect burger that I've had in Los Angeles. Please go here and leave satisfied.

Rock on!

If you've always wondered what it's like when a metal head eats a burger, you're in for a treat...
