Searching for Minnesota's Best Jucy Lucy

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

Blue Door, Round 2

Posted by EG Monday, July 13, 2009 comments (0)

After a fantastically delicious expedition to the Blue Door yesterday, my lunchtime Jucy Lucy excitement level was as high as it's been since I officially launched my search for the best Jucy a few weeks ago.

As I mentioned yesterday, the Blue Door offers an unrivaled variety of options in terms of the stuffed burger (aka the Juicy Blucy).

Following yesterday's tasty Bacon Blucy and fries, Kate and I returned over lunch for cheese curds only rivaled by Groveland Tap and a yummy treat known as the Blucy.

What is a Blucy, you ask?

It is a stuffed burger filled with bleu cheese and garlic. This is the most adventurous Jucy I've had to date, and I am hooked!

The best part? The world's GREATEST tater tots. Perfectly crunchy and delicious, they come either original, buffalo, or cajun.

A solid 4.75 stars out of 5, the Blue Door is a hidden gem that any MSP-area food lover must try.

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.
