Minneapolis' Jucy Lucy makes Denver debut with new burger bar

There's the Philly Cheesesteak, Chicago-style Deep Dish and the Coney Dog. Could the Minneapolis-style Jucy Lucy join the ranks of signature dishes with appeal beyond their home state?

Driving the news: Business partners Michelle McGlone and Nate Collis, who grew up eating at Matt's Bar, think so. They're opening Lucy’s Burger Bar in Denver, according to Businessden.

• Their signature item is a cheese-stuffed, "Minneapolis-style" Jucy Lucy, and their website declares "You betcha it's Juicy."

State of play: There are Jucy Lucys served in various places across the country and not all of them note the burger's origin city.

• But it's nice to see Minneapolis getting some love, since either Matt's or the nearby 5-8 Club invented the culinary item.

Of note: Collis is the former guitarist for Atmosphere.
