No clock on this. Four burgers is four separate outings, and the mouth-burn heals between them.

  1. 01
    Matt’s Bar Standish

    The 1954 Cedar Avenue original claimant, spelled with no "i". Molten center, cash only, expect a wait.

  2. 02
    5-8 Club Multiple Twin Cities locations

    The other origin claimant, open since 1928. Four cheese options and a Time Magazine nod.

  3. 03
    The Nook Macalester-Groveland

    The Nookie Burger tops most metro Juicy Lucy rankings, and there is a basement bowling alley.

  4. 04
    Blue Door Pub Multiple Twin Cities locations

    The Blucy: the variant lane. The Bacon Blucy is the order.
