Matt's Bar, open since 1954 at Cedar Avenue and East 35th Street in Minneapolis, is the universally recognized home of the original "Jucy Lucy" — a stuffed cheeseburger with molten American cheese sealed inside the patty rather than placed on top. Founded by Matt Bristol, the bar claims the name was coined when a customer bit into the first one and exclaimed "That's one juicy Lucy," with the signature misspelling dating to a hasty printing error. President Barack Obama dined at Matt's on the day founder Matt Bristol passed away in 2014, underscoring the bar's status as a true American culinary landmark.
