M.I.A. vs. Lucy
January 3, 2010 – 9:48 amambryo explains that your day is far from shot if you go to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts only to find out that the exhibit you planned to see is sold out. The fallback? A Juicy Lucy from the 5-8 Club.

A First-Timer’s Matt’s Jucy Lucy Experience
December 26, 2009 – 8:58 amWendy at Two Dolla gives a run-down with pics from a first timer's jucy lucy experience at Matt's Bar. The reviewer is 12 years old, so is getting a nice early start on a long life of Lucy's. I agree with "The Kid" that the cans of pop are deceptively small. It's so uncommon to drink only 12 ounces of pop in a restaurant these days that you can be caught off guard by the relatively reasonable quantity. via Emily
Jucy Addition: Newt’s in Rochester, MN
December 20, 2009 – 5:28 pmA couple friends recently road tripped to Rochester, MN to see Dio - failed - then had jucy lucy burgers at Newt's. Reviews over beer and IM weren't particularly glowing, but they're both borderline jucy lucy snobs. Heck, one of the two lives within walking distance of Matt's.
A Blue Door Pub Edit to Wikipedia Comes and Goes
December 11, 2009 – 9:23 pmAn edit to Wikipedia's Jucy Lucy page came and went earlier today due to over the top promotions. The promoter: a fan of the Blue Door Pub: A look at the revision history shows that the edit lasted for 2 hours 54 minutes before the page was reverted back to the previous version.
Just Two Hamburgers with Melted Cheese in the Middle?
October 26, 2009 – 1:48 pmPaul Merrill takes a break from documenting Minneapolis' architectural history on Stuff About Minneapolis to take a shot at Minneapolis' signature cuisine: But some people do bring out of town guests to Matt’s or the 5-8 Club, to give them a “only in Minneapolis” experience. Since I grew up in the northeast part of Minneapolis, I’m not quite as passionate about the debate as my southside brethren. To me it’s just two hamburgers with melted cheese in the middle. (Shhh…..do you hear that? That’s the sound of south Minneapolis tumblrs unfollowing me,) Sounds like the kind of guy who says his kids could draw that when he checks out modern art. Merrill needs some palette sensitivity training.

New Lucy Location: Brookside Bar & Grille, Marine On Saint Croix, MN
August 21, 2009 – 8:00 amThis just in from Val Watson of Stillwater, MN: The newly reopened Brookside in Marine has introduced a Jucy Lucy on their menu. I'll leave the rating for your discretion. They have pizza now as well. I tried the vege. They probably get the fresh ingredients for both at the Gen. Buy local. Sounds like it's road trip time.

New Lucy Location: Barney’s Beanery Burbank
August 19, 2009 – 7:02 amJuicy Lucy at Barney's Beanery Burbank, originally uploaded by revrev. revrev points us to a Juicy Lucy out in Burbank, California. Based on his review of the Lucy at hambur.gr, it sounds like they're still working out the details: It wasn’t necessarily bad, it just wasn’t good. The American cheese inside is, of course, the whole point of the Juicy Lucy, but it really just tasted artificial. They did manage to cook my burger rare, which I’m always pleased with, but the rest of the sandwich was just your average food-service buns and unripe sliced tomatoes. One way to solve the unripe tomatoes issue is to leave them off the burger. It's good to hear that the Lucy love is spreading.
