A New-Old Favorite: The Juicy Lucy

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

We have all the fixins for a Juicy Lucy in our warehouse, and we never make ‘em.  We’re just too dang busy!

Kinda sad, as this Minneapolis Burger Icon had recently hit the airwaves in an episode of Food Wars, and days later I was firing up the cast iron skillet and sizzling some stuffed meat (80/20 ground beef, to be precise). My Cheese of Choice, a pepper Jack and Shredded Mozz blend that was
oozing with creamy, pepper-poppin flavor!

As you will come to see, I am personally Burger-obsessed.  When I visit a new town, or re-visit an old one (like Houston, where I lived and worked for over 10 years), I inevitably end up at a burger joint.  Every city has their favorite.  Email us with your fav at sales@wergourmetfoods.com

Sometimes I’m a purist, just beef and bun!  Like a Zen Master, I’m always seeking perfection with 2 simple ingredients.  Beef and Brioche bun, Tuna and Toasted Wheat Bun, or Ostrich on a Kaiser, I know there is a perfect pairing, and I’m always on the hunt.  Other times, I want a flavor-carnival!  Grilled Jalapenos, Monterey Jack and Grilled Pineapple Ring is a new favorite.  An old Standard is Smoky Bacon, Grilled onions, and Rich Blue Cheese…especially if the Bacon is Benton’s and The cheese is Rogue Creamery.

The Juicy Lucy offers me a whole new way to get a greasy burger mess.  I think you should groove on down to your local market and sear up a few too.
