Introduction & history

The Juicy Lucy is a cheeseburger with a twist. Slices of American cheese are tucked between two four-ounce patties, which are sealed to form a single beef patty with a pocket of cheese in the middle. Once grilled, the patties are served on a hamburger bun with a topping of either sliced pickles or onions. When you bite into one of these, melted cheese should ooze from the patty, so make sure to let your Juicy Lucy cool a bit before taking a bite.
