Common Roots Cafe's "Rootsy Lucy"

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.

Arts Orbit is a multisource blog about the local arts scene, featuring both original contributions by Daily Planet writers and entries reprinted from partner blogs and online publications.


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.

Stories We're Working On

In progress

These are some of the stories we are working on. We invite and encourage you to contribute to these stories, or to suggest other stories that you would like to see covered.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | North Minneapolis We’ll tell you what the judge decides on the flurry of lawsuits around last winter’s Jordan Area Community Council controversy as soon as the decision is made (probably the week of July 6). What do you think about what’s been going on at JACC, in Jordan, and around the Northside? Tell us what you know – and what you think we should be covering.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar park volunteers
Minneapolis parks have recently tightened enforcement of rules about background checks for volunteers. But does the “systemic bias of the criminal justice system” mean that many African American males will be barred from serving as volunteers? We want to hear your ideas.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Hmong Freedom Celebration and Sports Tournament Coming up this weekend! We’re looking for community input about the sports tournament, your experiences at the tournament, how it has changed over the years, what the gathering of Hmong from around the country and around the world means, and any other thoughts you might have about the weekend.

MUSIC | Black Blondie and Foxy Tann knock 'em dead at the Uptown Pride Block Party

By Dwight Hobbes , TC Daily Planet

The Uptown Pride Block Party on June 26 was an LGBT Pride Week affair, but you didn’t need to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender to get with it. For that matter, you didn’t have to have a dime in your pocket. All you had to bring was the willingness to enjoy a damned good time. MORE »
