Try your luck on the Umami Wheel

Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.

-- Collin Flatt of Phoodie.info quests for the secret of umami, the savory "fifth taste". StudioKitchen chef Shola Olunloyo guides Flatt through his first lesson in deliciousness: the Nigerian fare at Tastee D's.

-- The little birds were chirping this little tune months ago, and now The Insider confirms it: Marc Vetri has taped an episode of Iron Chef America, battling first season winner Michael Symon. No word on the air date yet.

-- Foobooz dreams up another clever infographic, this one chronicling the many ventures of Mr. Stephen Starr in cheery rainbow form.

-- Jack Curtin tallies the medal haul for local brewers at the Great American Beer Fest on the Beeryard's news page.� We'll just say it was total domination, as usual.

-- Here's one for Foobooz to add to its Starr-y rainbow: Rat's Restaurant at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey.� SRO took over the fine-dining destination this summer, writes The Restaurant Club, installing former Garces Restaurant Group culinary director Kevin Sbarga behind the stove.
