UM RecessionI try to live my life void of time constraints. I don’t wear a watch, and I’m perpetually in a rush and am nearly always late for everything. I’m not proud of this, and it’s always something I try to improve, but it somehow makes me less anxious, not knowing

What is Umami? Ponder the oyster. Tom yum. Carne asada. All umami. Don't try to define it! Just surrender to the addiction; savor the flavor implosion.

Lazyass Cookin’: Cold Tomato + Onion Salad
Is it really the last day of Sloth Season? Say it ain’t so! Sigh. Totally not fair considering the Bay Area has been a shroud of fog, gloom and sweater-weather all “summer”. In Dante’s Inferno, San Francisco is not unlike the third circle of hell, where the gluttonous are punished in

Pizzeria Bruno: The Proof Is In The Pizza (SD)
Pizzeria Bruno was the one place I wanted to go during my visit to San Diego earlier this month. Mike Senese, television personality and hardcore pizzahead, had mentioned that it was, “easily the best pizza I’ve found in Southern California,” so of course I had to try it.

Head’s Up – Umamiventure #28: San Tung Restaurant (SF)
Confession: This Umamiventure has been created solely for the purpose of sating my own obsession for San Tung’s chicken wings.
San Tung is no secret in the SF dining community– it’s got like 1700 Yelp reviews and is a mob scene at all hours of the day. My dear friends

Lazyass Cookin’: Warm Eggplant Tsuyu
Ah, summer. Nix that– the dead of WINTER here in the Bay Area. We’re below the Equator, didn’t you know?
But for the sake of conversation, let’s say it’s summer. And summer means cold noodles, right? Thanks to Yoko, ya’ll are equipped with the definitive recipes to making your

Ramen Night, Part Deux (SF)
Back in April, we had a very special Umamiventure– Marcel (we call him that here), a dude who has been making ramen out of his home for the last year and a half, invited Umamimart over to try it. Fifteen of us showed up and gathered

Happy Hour: Savoy Cocktail Book Night (SF)
Paystyle is out this week– after his series of recaps on Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans, he’s burnt out and taking a personal day. It is Sloth Season after all, and we all deserve
