One of the more interesting culanary experience in the Twin Cities is the Juicy Lucy. It is a cheeseburger with the cheese cooked between two beef patties. Two bars in town, The 5-8 Club and Matt's Bar and Grill, both claim that they invented the Juicy Lucy. No one has been able to verify either ones claim. The 5-8 Club is a little over 4 miles North of the hotel. Matt's Bar and Grill is a little less than 7 miles North of the hotel. Both establishments are on Cedar Ave.
Below are links to their websites for more information.
