What is "Jucy Lucy"?

A Jucy Lucy, also spelled Juicy Lucy, is a type of cheeseburger that is said to have originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The burger is made by sandwiching a slice of cheese, typically American cheese, inside the beef patty before cooking it on a grill or stovetop. As the burger cooks, the cheese melts and becomes gooey on the inside, creating a deliciously juicy and flavorful burger. The Jucy Lucy is typically served on a bun and can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and condiments like ketchup or mustard. The Jucy Lucy is a popular food item in the Midwest region of the United States and is often served at casual dining restaurants and bars.
