MOLTEN CHEESE JUICY LUCY

Two spots in Minneapolis claim to be the birthplace of the cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy. The 5-8 Club says it came up with the idea in the 1950s, while nearby Matt's Bar & Grill says that in 1954, a customer requested the creation and exclaimed "That's one juicy Lucy!" after trying it. The rule for eating one is universal: Wait before taking a bite to avoid burning your mouth on molten cheese!

CHEF JOHN'S JUICY LUCY



Chef John's Juicy Lucy image

This isn't just any old cheeseburger. Depending on whom you talk to, this cheese-stuffed burger is either called a "Juicy Lucy," or a "Jucy Lucy." That's because two restaurants in Minneapolis claim to have invented it, and they spell it differently. Make sure you thoroughly and thoughtfully press the edges of the two patties together to seal in the cheese stuffing, which keeps the meat juicier. Spread your favorite burger sauce over the bun.
