Have you ever heard of a Juicy Lucy? You can find them at multiple burger joints across the Midwest. Did you know it actually started at a small bar in Minnesota? The same bar, that's been around since the 1950s has recently been named one of the cheapest restaurants in the United States.
Cheapism put together a list of the best cheapest restaurants in every state. Naturally, I had to dig in and find out more about this Minnesota landmark. Especially when it seems that a modest lunch anywhere these days costs at least $15 (if you're lucky.)

The Jucy Lucy (Correctly Spelled Without an I)
Matt's Bar started as a burger joint in 1954, over 70 years ago! According to the history on their website, owner Matt Bristol created the Jucy Lucy. It was created when a customer asked for two burgers with a slice of cheese in between them. When he bit into it, he said, "Wow! That's one Juicy Lucy!"
