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.
