Umami will be opening in this historical Toluca Lake location
The Umami empire has started construction on another Umami Burger in Toluca Lake in the former Papoos Hot Dog Show that closed in August 2011 after 62 years in business. Located across from the landmark Bob’s Big Boy, Papoos ‘structure also has historical merit. The iconic building will remain standing with a good part of the signage and all. In homage to Papoos, Umami will be serving up hot dogs in addition to burgers and milkshakes made from LA Creamery artisan ice cream.
