TikTok Is Obsessed With This Chipotle Burrito Bowl Hack Shutterstock By Erica Buehler/July 27, 2021 6:12 pm EST Customization is basically a standard requirement at fast-casual restaurants these days. It’s part of the reason why we love Chipotle and all the different ways you can make your order totally unique. A little pico de gallo here, some sour cream there, a little extra guac (because we’re bougie). Of course, because the world of TikTok is quite literally obsessed with food hacks, secret menus, and all things that innovate the world of big food brands, it was only a matter of time before a Chipotle hack (well, that is another one beyond these already profiled on Delish) made its way into the viral spotlight....

What Everyone Gets Wrong About Umami Shutterstock By Lucia Capretti/May 5, 2021 2:21 pm EST Umami encompasses a different and more complicated concept than mere flavor. But what is it, exactly? Epicurious describes umami as savory deliciousness, while Food52 mentions an earthy and meaty quality that adds depth to a dish. If it sounds a little ethereal that’s because it can take on many forms. According to First We Feast, umami contributes to “flavor potential”....
