WICKER PARK — Umami Burger, a California-based chain known for its "savory fifth taste," is gearing up to make its Midwest entry in a fast changing strip of Wicker Park's Milwaukee Avenue packed with new restaurants.

Located next to the new Max's Wine Dive and across the street from Rick Bayless' new Xoco restaurant, Umami Burger's Wicker Park outpost at 1480 N. Milwaukee Ave. is scheduled to open at noon on Thursday, said Veronica Rathbourn, a spokeswoman for Umami Restaurant Group.

Umami's burgers are made with a briney sauce that includes soy, anchovies and vinegar that, one critic says, "stuff you and make you want more."

In addition to burgers, which are served with homemade ketchup, the eatery will offer draft and bottled craft beers as well as a whiskey-based cocktail list that is unique to the Chicago location.

In advance of its opening, Umami Burger has released its main menu, kids menu and cocktail, beer and wine list.

A "secret menu item," cheesy tots, are not listed on the menu but can be ordered at any Umami Burger location, Rathbourn previously confirmed.
