How Twisted is Your Veggie Burger?

 Last Night the Hubs and I ate at The Twisted Root.

My eldest brother suggested that we all meet for a burger, or veggie burger in our case.

This burger joint is found on Commerce Street in downtown Dallas in Deep Ellum.  When I told my Dad where we were headed the conversation went a little like this.

Dad:  Hey Ab whats going on?
Abby: Well the Hubs and I are heading to eat at the Twisted Root in Dallas.
Dad: Where is Dallas?
Abby: Off Commerce street.
Dad: In deep Ellum?
Abby: Yep......
Dad:  O great.  I hope you don't get stabbed in the ribs and left for dead on the sidewalk.  We use to scrape dead people off the pavement down there.  Great!
Abby: Ok Dad I will call you later.

He then continued to call every 15 minutes to make sure that we hadn't be murdered.

Back to The Twisted Root

The Twisted Root is found in an old building in the dreaded Deep Ellum.  Now the sign does not say "The Twisted Root" so if you head that way look for the neon sign that says "Burgers".

Upon walking in the door you must stand in line and order your food. 

The standing in line process made me extremely nervous because of the sign above.  

But luckily my beautiful, ever prepared sister-in-law handed me a menu and walked me though how to order a veggie burger. 

The Twisted Root gives you a new name.  

This way they aren't saying, "I can't hear you....what's your name?"  

Yes, I get that question a lot....I have a very thick East Texas accent.  

Anyway, the Hubs and I were dubbed Paula Abdul. 

This place makes their own ketchup and boy is is good.  

The guy above has a very important job.  When the food is ready he offers up an anectdoe pertaining to your new given name. 

For example, ours was, "Straight up now tell me Paula Abdul do you want this veggie burger?"

So then the Hubs walked up and got our yummy veggie burgers. 

This guy IS the atmosphere. 

Behold the blue cheese & tangy buffalo sauce veggie burger.  

I seriously died for a moment and went to veggie head heaven.  The black bean corn patty was so good!  

This "burger" was dripping with blue cheese crumbles and buffalo sauce.  Throw in their "fried ride" basked and their homemade ketchup and laaaaaawdy my tummy was happy. 

The Twisted Root offers a great laid back environment that fosters the desire for good food and fellowship.  

They offer a wide variety of hamburgers and every burger has the option to become vegetarian. 

With two locations, both Dallasites and Fort Worthites can enjoy a wide rage of veggie head delights.
