Common Roots Cafe's "Rootsy Lucy"

August 28, 2008
by Brian Moen, East-Lake.net • August 25, 2008 •
On Saturday night, Tricia and I went to the Common Roots Cafe for dinner to try the newest competetor to the Juicy Lucy universe. The Rootsy Lucy is made with Thousand Hills beef stuffed with 12 month aged cheddar on foccacia with heirloom tomatoes, lettuce and aioli. I’ll have to try it again soon, but I’d have to say this was the best Juicy Lucy I’ve had, both because of the quality of the beef, but also because the cheese didn’t burn my mouth. It was quality cheese and for the most part, it stayed in the burger.

Common Roots: We make everything on our menu from scratch, and we strive to use as many local, organic, and fair-trade ingredients as possible. Our menu changes constantly, allowing us to make frequent use of local ingredients. In 2007, 80% of our food and beverage purchases were local, organic, or fair-trade! For drinks, I had the newest Surly beer, Surly Hell: a Munich Helles, and a beer that I could easily see becoming a top seller for Surly. It was very easy to drink and a perfect beer for a late summer evening. The beer selection is all local (mainly Surly, but also Brau Bros and Point), and the wine selection is all fair trade or local (yes, we make wine here!). I’d highly recommend stopping in for a Rootsy Lucy before it’s gone!

Just tried one...indeed, the cheese stayed in the burger and both burger and cheese were tasty, but the rest of the sandwich fell apart on me. Back to Matt's.

THEATER | At the Chanhassen, "Footloose" is fun

By Rebecca Mitchell, TC Daily Planet

More than a decade since the musical originally opened on Broadway and over 25 years since the film it was based on was released, Footloose still resonates. The musical, currently playing at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, isn't an artistic breakthrough and it isn't the best show I expect to see all year, or even all month. It is, however, an energetic experience that's sure to meet audience expectations for a fun night out. And beyond the expected dance show, this staging offers an additional emotional punch, underscoring the various ways we deal with heartache and the ties that bind us.MORE »

My inbox

By Mary Turck, TC Daily Planet

Many news stories go untold every day, judging by the overload of news releases and notices that arrive in my inbox every day. I get at least a hundred real messages daily (in addition to almost as many spam messages that slide right on through the filters). As I scan these, I look for stories that we can assign to freelance writers, and wish for more community reporters to write about what is happening in their communities. Here's what 24 hours looks like:MORE »
