The Twin Cities are home to many innovators,<br />

including 3M, Prince and the creator of the<br />

Jucy Lucy burger. Invented in the 1950s by a<br />

courageous man who ordered two patties<br />

with a slice of cheese in the middle, the Jucy Lucy<br />

has become a local favorite. Since its creation,<br />

many restaurants have attempted to replicate<br />

the revolutionary patty, sparking heated debates<br />

on which restaurant serves the best one.<br />

I had the pleasure of trying four Jucy Lucy<br />

burgers from critically acclaimed restaurants.<br />

While taste is subjective, I found that Matt’s<br />

Bar had the best one. The first bite made<br />

me feel happy, warm and satisfied. Food<br />

is an experience that should make you<br />

feel something, no matter what you<br />

eat. So, the next time you’re in the<br />

mood for a Jucy Lucy or any<br />

other kind of food, take a<br />

moment to slow down a<br />

nd savor the experience.<br />

To see all the mouthwatering<br />
