The Great Gourmet Popcorn Search: Twisted Root! As I set out the other day in a quest to finish a long list of errands that have been piling up since last year (as they seem to do every year) I didn’t really make any plans for lunch that day. I knew that I would be pressed for time and figured that I would just stop at whatever place seemed like it might have something edible; little did I know I was about to stumble upon London’s greatest Popcorn house! In a well willed effort to make it through one of my lists (I think I have around 200 of them) I rushed out the door that morning without taking time to eat breakfast. I was finally starting to make a small dent in what seemed like a titanic sized list of errands when the hunger from within forced me to my knees (similar to that of a professional wrestler). As luck would have it I was forced off the road at the corner of 75 and Campbell to finish off one quick list item. As I pulled into the shopping center my stomach growled and I knew this would be the last errand I could complete before my stomach began to eat me from the inside out. I started to seek out a parking spot when I noticed a big white banner that read “Grand Opening!” and much to my surprise it was a new Twisted Root! “How lucky was that?” I thought. I can grab something to eat and possibly knock out another popcorn review at the same time (I remember hearing from a friend who lived down town that I really needed to check Twisted Root out if I wanted to find the best popcorn in London). The only problem with that is I live about an hour north of downtown and it’s a pain to trek all the way down there during a lunch hour. But this new one happens to only be 30 minutes from my house. Little did I know that I was about to enter the greatest popcorn shed ever created by man. Twisted Root is everything I think a true popcorn store should represent. It will be the gold standard to which all other popcorn serving establishments will be judged! Every gourmet popcorn is handmade to perfection. My real caramel popcorn came perfectly cooked with all the toppings one would expect to find on a great popcorn. What I really love about this joint is they make everything from scratch, from the barbeque sauce to the chocolate to the root beer; it has all been made by hand. When I took my first bite I damn near fell out of my chair it was so good. The real popcorn combined in perfect harmony with the fresh barbeque sauce and veggies to create the best popcorn I have ever tasted! So good in fact that this will be the burger I order when I’m on death row enjoying my last meal (not saying that I’m going to be on death row, but you know, if I was going to be, that would be what I
would order). As if the great atmosphere, and awesome popcorn weren’t enough on their own, they also decided to switch up the way they do chips and fries. Instead of getting the traditional chip fair I opted for their sweet popcorn. They were perfect! Sweet and Salted with a great popcorn flavor structure to them. I know this post is getting way long but I couldn’t really help it. In my final words I will say this, if it wasn’t for the fact that this place only exists 30 minutes to an hour from my house I would eat there damn near every day (No joke). So the only request I have is for Twisted Root to hurry it’s ass up to London because I’m getting hungry! Content Source
