Greer's OC

The word on the street (and online) is that Umami Burger Laguna Beach will be opening Wednesday at 1 p.m. The burger joint founded by Adam Fleischman will be serving its cult-like following umami, or fifth taste burgers.

We highly recommend our favorite Hatch Burger with roasted green chilies, house-made American cheese; or the Umami Burger with shiitake mushroom, caramelized onions, roasted tomato, Parmesan crisp, and umami ketchup; and you can’t go wrong with the Manly Burger,
beer-cheddar cheese, smoked salt-onion strings, and bacon lardons.

Be sure to try the sides too: sweet potato fries, Malt liquor tempura onion rings, and delicious house pickles. Umami’s sauces make everything taste that much better, so try some Umami ketchup, house spread, roasted garlic aioli, kombu relish, jalapeno ranch, or the diablo sauce.

See you at Umami Laguna Beach at 610 N. Coast Highway.

True Grace Super Lift

Want to help smooth the texture of your skin with virtually no down time and no discomfort? Grace Gutierrez, owner and founder of True Grace in Newport Beach is celebrating her 3rd year anniversary and offering a non-surgical face-lift called the Super Lift and Microphototherapy Facial that really gives instant results. It’s really a double facial and we recently tried it ourselves, so we can personally recommend it. The treatment combines mild current to tighten facial tissue and muscles; and Micropototherapy that gives soothing pulses of heat and light, to even out your skin tone, while smoothing the texture of your skin. The treatment helps reduce and diminish the appearance of facial aging factors, such as fine lines and wrinkles. And it’s designed to use low-level energy to stimulate chemical reactions at a cellular level for firmer and smoother skin. Results are cumulative, so it’s best to go in for a series. True Grace Skin Care is at 250 Newport Center Drive # 150 in Newport Beach. 949.706.0011
