Oh the Juicy Lucy. What a novice idea. The Juicy Lucy is a burger with the cheesy liquid gold inside the burger, rather than on top. Its easy to see how the Juicy Lucy stands out from other burgers when looking at how its assembled. The burger is made by separating your patty into two, placing your cheese (mainly American, but you can put your favorite cheese inside) between the two, cook, and voila!
Its hard to say where the burger originated, but two restaurants on the same street in South Minneapolis say it was them. The 5-8 Club and Matt's Bar both claim to have invented the burger, and battle over who did it.
The Juicy Lucy and both restaurants debuted on the Travel Channel's Food Wars in March 2010, where they battled to see whose burger was better. Matt's Bar took the title.
There are other restaurants that create their own renditions of the burger, including the Groveland Tap in St. Paul with their Cajun Lucy, and The Blue Door Pub also in St. Paul with their Juicy Blucy.
If you're like me and live nowhere near these areas, we have to settle for our own Juicy Lucy burger made at home.
