New burgers ‘pop up’ in Ballard

There’s a new spot for burgers in town, but this isn’t your average burger joint.

BuiltBurger.com has opened a “pop-up” store inside Pulp at 22nd and Ballard Ave for the month of August. The concept of Built Burger is kind of like a gourmet take-and-bake pizza, except it’s a burger. “The focus has always been on the outside of the burger,” founder Rebecca Makuen says. Built Burger is unique in that they put the goodies inside the patty.

They will create your burger from ten different combinations of spices, herbs meats and cheeses. Above is the “Magnificent Chorizo” made of all natural beef, house made Mexican chorizo, roasted poblano peppers, crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro. You can either order online for delivery or stop in and pick up some patties then take them home and put’em on the grill. Built Burger will be doing a gourmet burger tasting at the store on Sunday during the Farmers Market, “because let’s face it. People need to taste them,” Makuen says. (Disclosure, BuiltBurger is a sponsor of MyBallard.)
