This was a pretty good burger. The wild rice provided a chewer texture than a traditional veggie burger, which helped the patty stay together. I was actually really surprised I could eat this whole burger without it falling apart! Initial appearance made me think I'd need a fork. I really liked the taste of the wild rice patty too, it was even slightly sweet! I love when native Minnesotan foods can be incorporated into new dishes. Unfortunately, I believe the burger had no sauce. I ended up adding my own mayo since I got take out, but I do know that Common Roots has a vegan aioli, so I think I'll ask them to add that next time. I would get this again. $13 feels a bit steep for a burger with no sauce or side, but it is a nice lighter burger that won't make you feel bogged down afterwards.
