Juicy Lucy Cheddar Burgers
Brie Goldman / Food Stylist: Holly Dreesman / Requisite Stylist: Gabriel Greco
If you have never had a juicy Lucy, you can let yourself be pampered. This large burger comes from Minneapolis and has the cheese inside instead of above. The result? A lava from Ooey-Gooey cheese with every bite. Make sure the burger is resting for a few minutes before digging in or you can simply burn the roof of your mouth.

This is my basic food that they can bring to parties.”
Hot Dog in Chicago style
While hot dogs are a common staple for potlucks and cookouts across the country, the dog-style dog must adhere to certain standards.

From there, the dog should be crowned with yellow mustard, sweet cucumber, chopped white onion, tomato carving, dill cucumber spear, pickled sports peppers and celery salt. No ketchup allowed.

“I made half a batch of these for my friend (born and in Wi!) And he loved her! It was my first experience with fried cheese, but they were fantastic and I would definitely do it again,” says an Allrecipes reviewer. “A trick that I have read elsewhere-the curd comes to the room temperature and you will sweat a little … Use the moisture to your advantage and coat it with a little flour before slipping. The dough sticks much better!”
Maid rite sandwiches
