Twisted Root Burger Company is known for its creative and tasty toppings, thick milkshakes and extensive craft beer selection. You can go again and again and again and have a different culinary experience each time. There’s something else that makes Twisted Root’s menu even more varied: You can get any of their burgers made with Wagyu beef, venison, elk, lamb, ostrich, kangaroo, emu, boar, rabbit, duck, camel and alligator. The animals used in the burgers are raised without growth hormones and are mostly grain-fed. These burgers might elicit an eye-roll or two, but Twisted Root has become a neighborhood joint turned burger chain that thrives most when it’s experimenting. The husband-wife team of Jason and Amanda Boso opened the unusual restaurant in 2006, but it really took off when popularity soared after it was featured on the Food Network show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Burgers typically run $11 to $12.50.
