California-based Umami burger will debut The Black Keys-inspired Akron Burger on July 1. The burger will launch the restaurant’s ongoing series of artist-themed sandwiches. Trevor Sacco, Vice President of Operations for Umami Restaurant Group said in a press release:

“The Black Keys are on top of the music world now. We’re honored to add a bit of their ‘flavor’ to the Umami Burger roster.”
