"Also credited with the Juicy Lucy, it’s a go‑to for that molten, cheese‑stuffed burger fix on a frigid night." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

"The 5-8 Club (one of two contenders for the “Home of the Juicy Lucy” title, along with Matt’s Bar) first opened in 1928 as a speakeasy. Today, it’s better known for its cheese-stuffed patties: The 5-8 rendition involves American cheese, a broad patty, and a layer of pickles. For something a little wacky, try variations like the Buffalo Chicken Juicy, or the PB&J, stuffed with a gooey blend of peanut butter and American cheese and topped with strawberry jam." - Serena Maria Daniels
"The other spot that lays claim to the juicy lucy’s invention insists that the juicy-lucy-with-an-i spelling is the proper one, and they’ve also branched out from the version they were offering in the 1950s. Today, you can pick your own cheese from a lineup that includes american (the traditional choice), swiss, pepper jack, or Minnesota-made Amablu. The so-weird-it’s-fabulous PB&J burger is the perfect balance of salty peanut butter and cheese with a slathering of sweet strawberry jam, but they also do a buffalo chicken juicy that’s great and features a melty pepper jack center." - stacy brooks
