Searching for Minnesota's Best Jucy Lucy

My quest to find the tastiest JuLu in the Land of 10,000 Lakes

Blue Door, Round 1


Rarely, a Jucy Lucy Restaurant offers so many options that one visit will not suffice.

See the Blue Door Pub in St. Paul's Merriam Park neighborhood.

The Blue Door boasts the 2009 City Pages Best Burger (one I intend to go back and try).

But that's not all. See below for the Blue Door's selection of Juicy Blucys.

A quick look at the array of options...

  • The Blucy - stuffed with blue cheese & chopped garlic (check back on Monday - I'm having one for lunch)
  • The Luau - stuffed with mozzarella and pineapple with a slice of Canadian Bacon on top
  • The Frenchy - stuffed with Swiss cheese and caramelized onions (au jus for dipping)
  • The Merriam Park - stuffed with bacon, blue cheese, & chopped garlic with red currant jelly on top
  • The Classic - stuffed with American cheese
  • The Breakfast Blucy - stuffed with cheese and bacon with a fried egg on top
  • The Bangkok - stuffed with coconut milk-soaked mozzarella and ginger, with pickled carrots, cucumbers, and red onions on top
  • The Cajun - stuffed with pepper jack and jalapenos
  • The Mushroom Swiss - just as the name says
For today's review... The Bacon Blucy (picture above).

The Bacon Blucy is the classic bacon cheeseburger with the bacon & cheese on the inside.

In a word... superb. The Bacon Blucy is a burger lover's dream. A solid 4/5 stars.

No review on the cheese curds yet. Check back tomorrow.

(Hmm... I thought I posted earlier, but maybe didn't follow through.)

Do you feel compelled to eventually try everyone of the burgers on this list? Have you seen any other creative versions of the jucy lucy in other restaurants?

If you could find an easy way to do it, I would love to see a map of all these places in relation to each other and in relation to your home and work. It would be fun to clearly visualize your adventures and how far you do (or don't!) have to go to find a jucy lucy.
