FEATURED SPEAKER

Adam Fleischman, founder of Umami Burger

The birth of Umami Burger came when Adam Fleischman — who knows a thing or two about food science — set out to find the "craveability" factor of certain foods. His groundbreaking recipe maximized flavors and offered an innovative take on America's favorite food item: the burger. Founded in 2009, Umami Burger now has an impressive $80 million in annual sales and has grown to more than 25 locations across the United States, with plans to expand globally.
