Last Friday, the wife and I headed downtown for the newest edition to the UMAMI group. UMAMIcatessen features a Kosher style-inspired deli section, a section dedicated to the exploration of pork from different parts of the world, a small cafe serving an array of donuts and their house blend of coffee, and of course a full bar and their flagship burgers to tie everything together.

Pub Crawl had just started and the place was packed because of the promotional media coverage. Groups of lucky volunteers sat around to create an atmosphere for the camera while sampling a la carte items from the menu. One of the media staff had tried to direct me to what to shoot while I was doing my own thing and told them I was NOT working for anyone at that time...haha. Maybe I should have played it off, I might have landed a freelance job with Bon Appetit!

The interior is what really caught my camera's attention. Casked beer and bottle lighting installments

I usually only have enough room for their truffle fries and one burger when I eat at UMAMI so I apologize for the lack of variety of food shots for this trip. I ordered the Truffle Burger and Sachi ordered the Shrimp Burger with Yuzu seasoning.

I'll be back on my gastropub journey once again this coming Wednesday with a few friends who also share the love of a good brew and food photoraphy! Looking forward to a great photo session, gentlemen
