Uncool Burgers Launching Second Location on Santa Monica Boulevard

Joshua Pourgol, the owner of Tacos Tu Madre and Blurred Limes Hospitality Group, is opening a second location of Uncool Burgers on 7881 Santa Monica Blvd. A liquor license for the location was filed with the state on January 30 for the incoming eatery, but its opening timeline is unclear. Pourgol could not be reached for comment.

The restaurant’s existing site at 139 1/2 N. Larchmont Blvd. in Windsor Square offers a slew of fried chicken sandwiches and burgers, including a pastrami burger topped with housemade maple-glazed pastrami bacon and the “Rolls Royce of Burgers,” made with raclette, kewpie truffle mayo, wild arugula, fennel salad and onion jam.

Vegan-friendly burgers include the “Party in My Plants,” an Impossible burger topped with onion jam, pickles, vegan cheese, vegan truffle island sauce, lettuce, and tomato. A vegan chicken patty, the “Amazing Vegan Fried Chicken Sandwich,” is made with seitan, vegan “Uncool Sauce,” vegan American cheese, and pickles. Any burger on the menu can be replaced with an Impossible patty.

For an extra $8, french fries, a drink and a holographic sticker can be added to your order; one dollar of the proceeds from each of these combo orders goes toward the STOMP Out Bullying nonprofit.

Recently, the restaurant debuted a breakfast menu with a breakfast burrito, a breakfast burger and a number of breakfast sandwiches.
