Need a visual aid for your print edition? Jonathan Gold visits Umami Burger. (“Like the Sunday sudoku, the umami burger, the restaurant’s multilayered signature creation, is a puzzle demanding to be solved: Where’s the umami?

Mmmmm — the taste of ribonucleotides.”) Click through for Anne Fishbein's spectacular photos and read more in Gold's Counter Intelligence, “Umami Modernism: How Nathan Myhrvold and the popular burger chain go hand in hand.”
