Matts Bar   

I don't understand. I've lived in Mpls. all my life(39 years) and have eaten at Matt's at least 30+ times (including when I was a kid). I have to say as a self (and friend)-proclaimed food critic, that the Matt's Juicey Lucy is the most over-rated burger I've ever eaten. The cheese inside is stinky, artificial, american cheese that just tastes "wrong", (in my opinion, of course) and the beef patties are too thin. The Juicey Lucy ismade with two of those thin patties pressed together with a slice (or two?) of cheap, crappy cheese in the middle. Try it yourself and see what you think. A good burger is thicker and charred enough on the outside for great flavor yet pink enough that it isn't dry. For those who like their burgers well done, they can still be juicey even if they're not pink as long as they are taken off the grill at the right time. It seems to me that the people who rate Matt's burgers as "the best" have not eaten a hamburger anywhere else. The Wayzata Bar and Grill is one place, among many others, that comes to mind when I think of a good burger. Even Denny's makes a better burger than Matts. Not to belittle Denny's.- I've actually had a pretty good burger there!
