Today, Frank Bruni looks at how Adam Fleischman built his Umami Burger chain of restaurants. Bruni is a fan of his work: "Fleischman clearly understood what most successful purveyors of cars, clothing and cosmetics have also appreciated. He was selling customers more than a product. He was selling them an identity. As surely as he was feeding them, he was flattering them." [NYT]
