Second branch of Twisted Root now open in Richardson

RICHARDSON — Gourmet burger joint Twisted Root Burger Co. is proud to announce that its second location is now open in Richardson. The new 3,000-square-foot Twisted Root Burger Co. is located at the southeast corner of North Central Expressway and Campbell Road, and offers a large patio overlooking neighboring Eastside Park. Twisted Root Burger Co. has earned a reputation for offering one of “the best gourmet burgers in Dallas,” encouraging owner and head chef Jason Boso to share his passion for creating the ultimate burger with the Richardson community.

“This is a great opportunity for us, and we’re excited to branch out with a second location. Our loyal customers now have an alternative to our original Deep Ellum location and will find an easy, casual place to hang out and get a quality burger with all the fixins,” said Twisted Root Burger Co. owner Jason Boso.

All menu items are made from scratch, including a variety of house-specialty condiments. Dress your burger with Horseradish Dijon, Ancho Chipotle Ketchup or Quincy’s Grandpa’s Secret Barbeque Sauce. Thanks to Pastry Chef Steve Thompson, formerly the pastry chef at The Four Seasons Las Colinas, Twisted Root Burger Co. offers the best homemade root beer floats and banana splits in town. And, if you like a little Bailey’s in your shake, Chef Steve’s “adult-only milkshakes” are a must try.

Twisted Root offers a variety of hand-rolled beef alternatives including lean buffalo, ostrich, turkey and even black bean burgers for non-meat eaters. In addition, Boso will carry a larger variety of seasonal game meats including alligator, elk and venison. Hearty sides include hand-cut sweet potato chips, Twisted French fries, fried green beans, onion rings with chipotle ranch, and Chef Quincy’s specialty - spicy fried pickles.

In addition to offering full bar service and ice-cold longnecks for patrons wishing to sit and stay a while, the Richardson location is complete with several large, flat screen televisions, making it the perfect location to watch a big game. Live music will begin this spring at Eastside Park, and Twisted Root’s outdoor patio is a prime spot to catch the latest local bands while enjoying a sunny day. In keeping with the fun, the restrooms are a hilarity of their own with the staff’s favorite Chuck Norris “facts” written on the walls of the men’s room, i.e. “Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.” The ladies’ room is an homage to popular women’s sayings like “I’m a fantastic housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house.”

After a few tedious years in the corporate world, Jason Boso, owner/proprietor/chef/busboy, decided he was ready for a change and found himself in culinary school where he met future business partners Quincy Hart and Heather George, quickly becoming fast friends. Following culinary school, the three went their separate ways, working in various restaurants around town – Jason at The Four Seasons at Las Colinas, Qunicy at the Pappas Brothers Corporation and Heather at Berryhill Baja Grill in Houston. It wasn’t until nearly two years later they reunited and devised a plan for their new venture, opening a restaurant together, and in 2006 Twisted Root Burger Co. was born in the heart of Deep Ellum where it continues to thrive today.
