The Best Juicy Lucy Burgers in Minneapolis and St. Paul

"Matt’s, one of the Twin Cities' most essential restaurants, claims to have invented the Jucy Lucy. (To distinguish its Lucy from other Twin Cities renditions, Matt’s spells its burger without the “i.”) The legend goes that in 1954, a Matt’s customer ordered two patties with a slice of cheese in the middle — after taking the first molten bite, he declared “That’s one juicy Lucy!” Matt’s Lucy is classic and unadorned (in the best way); flavor-dense and charred at the edges. The American cheese takes on a particular liquid quality compared to some oozier others." - Justine Jones, Serena Maria Daniels
