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.

This burger is more than great. Once again, we take a half-pound patty of fresh, free range beef and fill it with Gruyere cheese and braised short ribs, right before we seal it in we then drizzle a red wine reduction over it. After being lovingly prepared by our expert kitchen staff and hand delivered by one of our fine servers you will bite into one of the most amazing combinations of meat and cheese to date. This burger deserves nothing less than a side of beer-battered green beans and a pint of cold beer to wash it down.

That’s a long reach from Matt’s Bar’s original, but I wouldn’t kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

Delish is a MSN property, so there has been speculation that Microsoft is attempting to steal and rebrand the Jucy Lucy into something one could put in a box with stickers and sell to CTOs through VARs with a service contract. But we here at Jucy Lucy Restaurants can spot a fake when we see it.

Down with the Inside Out Cheeseburger. Love live the Lucy!

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.

Living Social is running a deal today for 1/2 off $20 gift certificates to the Groveland Tap. You can buy up to 10 of the cards, which gives you plenty of opportunities to savor their Juicy Lucy and Cajun Lucy; paired with any of their very find selection of Summit beers.

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.

Bill wrote in to JLR with a description of this week’s burger and a request for a critique:

We feature 2 different Juciy Lucy Burgers every week and will have 104 different flavors in a year.   We also feature different beers, drinks and bomb shots and well as interview people on the show.

We are fairly new at the Juicy Lucy Game but at our Restaurant we feature 3 different ones every week. The Classic filled with American Cheese, The Loaded filled with Cheddar Jack and Bacon topped with Seasoned Sour Cream and Chives, and the Juicy of the Week.

We do the show on Monday Nights, 8pm and the winner of the 2 Juicys that we feature is the burger of the week. This week’s burger is stuffed with Mozzarella Cheese and Canadian Bacon topped with Pineapple Salsa.

I’d love for a critique of the show and the burgers.

They’re bound to have something for everyone with 104 different Lucy styles. Go check them out, and then come back and tell us which Lucy you had and what you thought.

Before the cooking begins, take a thin patty, top it with a wad of yellow or blue cheese, and then another patty. Pinch the edges together thoroughly and tightly so they don’t leak to seal in the goodness. Matt’s in in Minneapolis, MN, is the home of the original Jucy Lucy, and that’s right, there’s no “i” in Jucy. The molten core of the Jucy Lucy is cheese, but some folks use butter, especially herbed butter, and others insert sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, you name it. But those are Stuffed Burgers, not Jucy Lucys.

Ingredient-wise, here is what they start with for four Lucys:

* 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
* 4 slices American cheese (such as Kraft®)
* 4 hamburger buns, split

Surprisingly, they claim you can make them in 25 minutes, including prep time. That seems fast to me, and doesn’t leave much time for savoring a Grain Belt Premium or three along the way.
