Goodbye Matt’s Bar, home of the original Jucy Lucy. I am a Jucy Lucy loyalist and have only gotten my cheese stuffed burgers here. I had to make one more stop in before moving to St Louis next week. I will remember you fondly and tell stories of your greatness when I am down south.

It seems pretty clear that the anonymous editor was not writing from a neutral point of view, since they also included this self-promotional line:

That line didn’t last long, but the story of origin remains switched, without citation, 2 weeks later.

Should the 5-8 Club (or Matt’s) have proof that they did indeed invest the Juicy Lucy, they should include a link to that within Wikipedia.

If we’re talking about foods and beverages, let me take you around the Big Ten. Michigan provides some outstanding beer from Bells Brewery; Wisconsin gives us brats, the New Glarus Brewery, and cheese (sooooo much cheese); Illinois and Northwestern bring the Goose Island Brewery, deep dish pizza, and Vienna beef hot dogs; Minnesota’s got the Juicy Lucy; Iowa’s got Meth and grain alcohol; and Pennsylvania’s got Yuengling Beer. As far as Indiana and Ohio, they provide nothing of value other than a chili enema from Skyline Chili. Blech… The rest of us cancel them out, so I think over all we’re bringing something good to the table.

Solid analysis, Jon. Now that you’re in the Big 10, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to savor Jucy Lucy’s during your trips to Minneapolis.

Thus starts the latest jucy lucy blog to hit the interwebs. First post? Documenting a Famous Dave’s Rib Rub Jucy Lucy made at home. And, with that, they’re off to a great start.

And what is that signature food? Shefzilla left that up to his commenters to decide, but the overwhelming response to date has been the Jucy Lucy.

The spinach option looks intriguing. Vegetables other than onions are a bit of a reach from the original, but I’d certainly give it a try.

For example, both visited the Blue Door Pub this weekend and wrote up their experiences.

It’s worth reading both takes on each place they visit since while they both like Jucy Lucy burgers, they have plenty of differences in opinions after that, including Emily’s potato hatred and Doniree’s hatred of ala carte ordering.

This didn’t last for long. Wikipedia user, Jonathunder, corrected this act of revisionist history vandalism one hour and 42 minutes later.

Problem solved.

Travel the world over, but you won’t find a better burger

“The first time I came here, the [cab driver] told me, ‘Oh, I will bring you to a French restaurant.’ And I was like, ‘No, I’m here to eat what you eat. So what do you eat?’ And he was like, ‘Well, there’s something here, it’s kind of greasy, but [it's] the Jucy Lucy burger.’ I was here three days. For three days, lunch and dinner, I had the Jucy Lucy burger. I tried to make one in France. All my friends in France know the Jucy Lucy burger of Minneapolis.

She obviously appreciates the finer things in life.
