Our Mission

As two women who aren't afraid to clean our plates, we're touring the Twin Cites to find the tastiest and most unique burgers these two food-loving cities have to offer.

The Challenge: To sample one burger from a different Twin Cities restaurant each week and evaluate the entire experience. Since our expanded food budget will limit our ability to purchase a new wardrobe, using bikes as a mode of transportation is a must.
The Burgers: We've developed a list based on recommendations from others, notoriety, and our own curiosity. Have suggestions? Please share.
The Evaluation: Contrary to the stereotypical "burger eater," we're here to savor every morsel and recognize a good burger for characteristics like creative flavor combinations and quality of ingredients. Because we all know a bad pickle can ruin an otherwise fabulous cheeseburger, we're paying attention to the details.
Why? Besides the fact that we like to know in advance what we're eating so we can spend days salivating over it, we're here to offer our female perspective on the Twin Cities' most sublime burger creations so you can make informed choices. So next time you have a burger craving, check here first. You can thank us later.

Common Roots Cafe



Burger Name: Burger
Calling all hipsters and athletes in training! We have found the burger for non-burger eaters. The fresh ingredients include a yeast-less sourdough ciabatta bun (baked in house), bright red thinly sliced tomato, fresh pickle, fini cheddar, baby spinach, and a juicy beef patty. The side of tangy mango salsa was an unexpected condiment, but I found myself pouring it over the entire burger while all of the wonderful juices dripped from my fingertips. This burger has several star ingredients but we mostly raved about the dense, springy texture of the bun, the crunchy pickle, and juicy (not greasy!) beef. While very satisfying, eating this burger did not leave us feeling like we had to work off the calories, nor did it undo any previous workouts; it was completely guiltless. I'm hooked. This burger gives the Anchor Bar a run for it's money.
