Lucy Addition: Hubert’s Cafe & Sports Bar II

April 11, 2010 – 3:42 pm
Tony P has alerted us to a Deep Fried Juicy Lucy at the new Hubert's Cafe & Sports Bar location, which is replacing NBA City. Well you can add another place to the list. The Strib today said the new Hubert’s 2 (Former NBA City) has a deep fried jucy lucy. That’s a new one I haven’t seen done before. Hubert's does not appear to have a website so there is no information available other than its availability. If anyone is brave enough to try a Deep Fried Lucy please come tell us how it is.

Lucy Addition: Mainstreet Bar in Hopkins

March 20, 2010 – 9:27 am
Matt left a comment to tell us he has noticed the Mainstreet Bar in Hopkins was missing from our recent additions: I've been seeing all these updates for newly found Jucy Lucys... Why no love for Mainstreet Bar & Grill in Hopkins? They've had one for a few years now. Matt, you didn't mention if you've tried the Mainstreet Lucy. It looks like a pretty standard style. How was it?

Lucy Addition: Ugly Mug Minneapolis

March 17, 2010 – 3:17 pm
Zach Slovin wrote to tell us about the Ugly Mug Minneapolis: Just found your site and saw on the map you don't have The Ugly Mug listed as a Lucy location. They have 2 lucys on the menu, one I believe with jalepeno and bacon on the inside as well as extra cheese on top. More jalapenos! They actually have three Lucys on the menu and they all sound pretty tasty. Ready to devote an entire weekend to Ugly Mug?

Lucy Addition: Gold Nugget Tavern & Grille in Minnetonka

March 17, 2010 – 3:04 pm
Jake Whiting points us to the Jalapeno Juicy Lucy at the Gold Nugget Tavern & Grille in Minnetonka. He has a pretty high opinion of what they're doing out there: My wife and I go here fort-nightly, and most recently I had the Jalapeño Juicy Lucy. I would give it a 3 out of 4 thumbs up, with the 4th thumb pointing parallel to the horizon. I’d dock it the maximum thumbs possible for being a tad on the dry side. Proportions, architecture, internal temperature, and flavor were ALL there though. This restaurant is worth the trek down Excelsior for the meal. It’s good food. And no, I have no affiliation with the restaurant! Adding jalapenos seems deadly. And delicious. Seems like it's worth the drive.

Lucy Addition: Lord Fletcher’s in Spring Park, MN

March 15, 2010 – 6:59 pm
Tony Perkins alerts us to a Lucy on the menu at Lord Fletcher's out in Spring Park: Got another new place for you... Lord Fletcher's in Spring Lake. It seems out of place there, but it's on the menu for $11. I didn't try it but I hope to in the future. This Lucy comes with gouda, which is a pretty interesting choice. Tony, did you try it yet?

Lucy Addition: McGarry’s Irish Pub and Eatery in Maple Plain, MN

March 15, 2010 – 6:40 pm
Bill McGarry from McGarry's Pub in Maple Plain wants you to try their Irish version of the Juicy Lucy: McGarry's Jucy Lucy 8 oz fresh ground lamb burger stuffed with drunken goat cheese topped with red wine portabelle mushrooms. That sounds pretty amazing and could get me out to Maple Plain. If you give a taste test, come back and share your review.

We learned Lucky's 13 Pub opened a new location, thanks to a comment left by Tim W. A second location is about to open on Feb. 1st at the old Bloomington Bennegins location. The price of the Lulu seems to have gone up to $10.99 since we last posted about Lucky's. If you've been to either location, let us know how you feel about the Lulu.

Lucy Addition: Turtle’s Bar and Grill in Shakopee

March 15, 2010 – 5:56 pm
Shelley recently visited Turtle's Bar and Grill in Shakopee, MN and had this to say: I was just at Turtles in Shakopee and tried their Juicy Lucy - they were great! Definitely as good as Matt's. We may have to test the accuracy of this claim.

A Man’s First Two Minneapolis Meals: Matt’s & Matt’s

February 23, 2010 – 8:30 am
Andy Sturdevant recently recalled how he spent his first 24 hours in Minneapolis after moving to the Powderhorn Neighborhood five years ago. Frankly, it couldn't have gone any better for him. Two stops at Matt's? Perfection. We pulled into my new apartment, in a two-story house on Powderhorn Park I shared with two graduate students that I never saw again after I moved out a few months later. We unloaded all my personal effects into a pile in the living room. I didn’t have a bed yet; the plan was to drive to the IKEA in Bloomington and buy one there. There was two feet of snow on the ground. A neighbor wandered over to say hi, and told us about the May Day parade in the park. Dave and I leafed through a copy of the City Pages from a nearby newpaper box to find the closest bar for dinner. It ...
