Matt's Bar

Where did President Barack Obama satisfy his burger craving during a 2014 visit? At this classic neighborhood dive bar, where the tiny grill churns out the house specialty, a cheese-stuffed burger known as the Jucy Lucy. The name goes back to 1954, after a customer bit into one and declared, “Wow, that’s one Juicy Lucy,” with the spelling somehow morphing into Jucy. It’s little more than a fat-laced ground beef patty filled with American cheese. (Hint: Ask for fried onions.) “It’s the simplicity of it,” said grillmaster Tony Stanton, who fries up an average of 400 Jucy Lucys on a daily basis. Another draw? The excellent fries.
