On Saturday some enjoyable weather replaced the recent Seattle type that sat over Cleveland. As usual, I took Metropolitan Park to get to Sunset Cemetery. I buy fresh flowers on the way from the farmers market at Frostville. Calling it a farmers market is being generous as fruit and vegetables are scarce amongst the bread, bakery, pickles and pizza. But not many markets are so dramatically situated. Umami Moto was parked along the path.
I remembered reading all the excellent yelp reviews and since there was no line I placed an order for the $8.00 steak sandwich. I stood in the sun happily waiting for my order. When it was placed on the counter I became sad. Not sad by the small size. Not sad over the convenient store type hamburger bun. I was sad that here was an Asian inspired truck doing an amateurish job and charging double of Saigon Grill for a sandwich. Sad because the far superior Cambodian sandwich shop in the Colonial Arcade closed never receiving the fanfare of the minor league Umami Moto with its low expenses and high prices.
