Juicy Lucy

They're a great burger. Every time I am in town I specifically go to restaurants that offer them

Juicy Lucies are great! Just gotta make sure to get one from someone who knows what they're doing. Getting a nice medium burger with a char on the outside is a little trickier with cheese taking up space in the center.
They're super tasty and definitely worth trying.

Never been a fan myself, but lots luv em...

its a cheeseburger,  nothing revolutionary except the cheese is inside,  want to take it up a notch,  chop some mushrooms and mix it with the cheese when you stuff the burger,  or get into some of the more  exotic cheeses instead of the same ol Amercian or Cheddar.

You need to go to Matt’s B&G on Cedar ave for the real deal.  Till you have one of the orginals in the ambiance of the Matt’s you missed it.

we typically mix feta cheese in with the meat.  A long time favorite of our family.

Didn't know it was a thing until I saw this clip last week.

Of course the offensive lineman and defensive tackle knew what it was...  LOL

It's definitely a thing. Do it by hand or use one of these thingies -

According to the article, the place going in in Denver's Berkeley neighborhood is being built and run by a couple of Matt's regulars.

Nichelle, Nichelle, Nichelle...  THAT my friend is called a burger press.  It makes a PERFECT burger patty...   and you can do the stuffed ones with a simple twist, detach, and press.

Buy one, you won't regret it.  Changed my life when I got one years ago...  LOL

I've spent the last 2 or 3 years in pursuit of the perfect backyard burger. I grew up with a mom who made the world's worst hamburgers. Doughy bun, juiceless, almost round, hockey puck-like patty. Ick. But then I also grew up thinking round steak was steak and that Chun King was Chinese. 

Anyway, I think I've got it cracked. Mine probably most closely resembles the Five Guys burger as long as you don't get it with everything. My God, you don't have throw the whole kitchen cupboard on a burger! Anyway, they get the "char" thing. I'm anxious to try grilling a juicy lucy this holiday weekend.

I got one of these years ago for making pattys  it really speeds up the process.  I still think the best burgers are made by hand though,  its hard to get them from a gadget without over pressing the meat,  vs hand shaping to get a loose patty that holds the juices and stays tender through the cooking process.

Well, if your thumbs can pump out perfectly sized and thick burgers faster than my hand press, I'll hire you.  :-D

Hmmm, going to MSP in July, think I'll give the Juicy Lucy burger a try!  Is Matt’s B&G on Cedar ave in a safe neighborhood?  Not familiar with southern Minneapolis neighborhoods...
