Jucy Lucy - wikipedia Jucy Lucy This article is about the type of cheeseburger. For the English blues - rock band, see Juicy Lucy. Jucy Lucy A Jucy Lucy from Matt 's Bar in Minneapolis Alternative names Juicy Lucy Course Entree Place of origin United States Region or state Minneapolis, Minnesota Created by Multiple claims Serving temperature Hot Main ingredients Hamburger, cheese Variations Multiple Food energy ( per serving ) 600 kcal ( 2512 kJ ) Cookbook : Jucy Lucy Media : Jucy Lucy A Jucy Lucy ( sic ) or Juicy Lucy is a cheeseburger that has the cheese inside the meat patty instead of on top, resulting in a melted core of cheese within the patty. Two bars in Minneapolis claim to be the inventor of the burger, though other bars and restaurants have created their own interpretations on the style. Contents 1 Preparation 2 Origins 3 Other variations 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Preparation The burger is prepared by putting cheese between two patties of meat, then sealing both patties around the cheese to create a single patty with a cheese core. As the burger cooks, the cheese inside melts. This has the effect of keeping the meat near the center of the burger very juicy. It also separates the cheese from the bun, resulting in a slightly different texture than the usual cheeseburger. Normal burger toppings such as condiments, onions and pickles can also be added. Origins The 5 8 Club Matt 's Bar Two bars about three miles ( 5 km ) from each other on Cedar Avenue in South Minneapolis both claim to have invented the burger : Matt 's Bar and the 5 - 8 Club. Matt 's credits the bar 's former owner ( and namesake ) Matt Bristol. One account claims it preceded his purchase of the bar in the 1950s, but that Bristol formally added it to the menu and thus popularized it. Another version is that the burger was invented by a customer in 1954 who remarked `` Oooh, that 's one juicy lucy ! '' after biting into it. The 5 - 8 Club does not provide a particular origin story, but the bar itself was originally a speakeasy dating to the 1920s. Both bars offer slightly different versions of the burger. One difference is the spelling : Matt 's removes the letter `` i '' in `` Juicy '' ( supposedly an inadvertent misspelling dating to the burger 's creation ), while the 5 - 8 Club utilizes the normal spelling. Shirts worn by staff at the 5 - 8 Club have the motto `` if it 's spelled right, it 's done right '' while advertising for Matt 's Bar says `` Remember, if it is spelled correctly, you are eating a shameless rip - off ! '' The 5 - 8 Club offers several different cheese options for their version while the version at Matt 's only contains American cheese. The rivalry between both bars and their interpretations is longstanding, but has gained more exposure since receiving a mention in Time in 2008 and being featured on food - related television shows such as Man v. Food and Food Wars. In 2014, President Barack Obama visited Matt 's and had a jucy lucy, prompting the 5 - 8 Club to provide him one of theirs. Other variations Variations of the burger at other area restaurants are encouraged rather than quashed. Most use the same basic preparation procedures but offer different variations in terms of toppings, the burger 's filling, and any accompaniments. The burger has also been embraced outside the Twin Cities area nationwide and even worldwide. In Lebanon, Roadster Diner has also attempted its very own cheese - stuffed patty in which they call the `` Cheese - At - Heart ''. Unlike the traditional Lucy, the patty is stuffed with Swiss cheese and topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce, and potato chips. The Blarney Stone Tavern in Worthington Ohio, home of The Central Ohio Minnesota Vikings Fan Club, has also added this burger to their permanent menu.
