Whether you call them Juicy or Jucy, there’s no denying that the cheese-stuffed burger is a Minneapolis invention. And because of that, our city is home to the world’s best burgers. Take a look:

Matt's Bar is a Minneapolis institution that has been around since 1954. Its claim to fame is the Jucy Lucy.
