Umami Burger - Truffle Especial

New thing today, tried the Umami Burger Truffle Especial burger. We haven't been to Umami Burger in awhile - and it's one of the most fabulous tasting places ever. Anyway the original Truffle Burger was a game/life changer and I fell in love with it. Today I found out their menu had 2 additional types of truffle burgers - a Royal one with Braised Shortrib and a Especial one with a fried egg. I wasn't heartily convinced at the new truffle burgers, so before the waiter came I had decided to try just the original delicious truffle burger. 

Then the waiter came and I asked him about the other 2 truffle burgers, and he got all excited and highly recommended the Especial. So I tried it. It turned out blah. I wasn't really loving it. I think part of the reason was the fried egg was another flavor competing with the simplicity and directness of the original delicious truffle burger. It was just an added flavor I didn't want. Also the crispy texture and different taste of the parmesan crisp in the burger was whatever, along with the arugula. Just wasn't liking it. So even though I love fried eggs and truffle burgers, this did not go together well for me. It was still a good/ok burger, just not great and after my first bite I immediately regretted it and wished I had stuck with my gut and just got the original burger.

Oh well, sometimes listening to other recommendations turns out well. Sometimes listening to your gut is better. I think listening to my gut would have been better for this, but I got to try something new. You're welcome :)
