My coworker, Bich Ngoc Cao, just sent me this little piece of heaven, straight from my hometown of Minneapolis. This comes from Burger Jones, a sightly posh kind of new restaurant that I’m now dying to try. Love it.

The Jucy Lucy Comes to LA

// August 11th, 2009 // Comments // News, Restaurants

I grew up in Minnesota.  Up there, where it’s cold (realllly cold) in the winters, we have this thing called a Jucy Lucy.  Wiki tells me it originates from Matt’s Bar, a South Minneapolis mainstay, which is the only place I’ve ever had one of these cheese-filled wonders.

Turns out the burger is so popular, that Mira’le Grill in Los Angeles has designed a few stuffed burgers themselves in homage to the originals.  LAist tells me they’re pretty tasty, but I’ll have to try one out for myself.
