When it comes to burgers, few match the legend of the Jucy Lucy. This molten-cheese-filled masterpiece from Minneapolis has a story as rich as its flavor. In this month’s Burger Night, I share how two local bars sparked a friendly feud and how I put my own twist on the classic, complete with “shredduce,” Russian dressing, and plenty of napkins.

I couldn’t pass up National Cheeseburger Day, especially with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. To honor both the city of Buffalo and the American bison, I created a bold burger: a juicy 6-oz seasoned bison patty, grilled to perfection, layered with creamy blue cheese, drizzled with zesty Buffalo wing sauce, and finished with sweet pickles on a buttery, grilled Kimmelweck bun. A perfect bite for cheeseburger lovers and Bills fans alike.
