Umami Burger's Fried Pickle Spears

Umami Burger's Fried Pickle Spears, originally uploaded by ~db~.

Pretty terrific, if you like fried pickle spears. The batter is light, meaning the pickles aren't greasy. And they're fried just enough so that they are cooked through, but not so much that they lose their bite. Served with a jalapeno ranch sauce as a dip, it's a good contrast to Umami's meat-based main dishes.

That said, the full order of four spears was too much to eat by myself and I was barely able to make it through two of these babies. Next time I'll bring a friend. Fried pickle spears, about $4.
