Recreating A Juicy Lucy Cheeseburger From Taste | Reverse Engineering | Bon Appétit

  • We challenged resident Bon Appétit supertaster Chris Morocco to recreate a Minneapolis-style Juicy Lucy burger in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. The catch? He'll have to identify what he's making with a blindfold over his eyes, letting each of his other senses guide the way. Will Chris be able to reproduce this regional favorite without being able to see what it is?

    I enjoyed the more simple recipe for a change. It required Chris to be very precise on everything. With really complicated recipes, a lot of the little details get lost as any individual part has less significance. Here if he does something wrong, it really stood out.

    I love the ‘simplicity’ of the Juicy Lucy. The reason I put simple in quotes is because there’s only 5 main components. Meat, cheese, onion, bun pickles. If you screw one up then it’s not the right thing.
    It also helps people who are new to cooking. Simple recipes.
