Home of the Jucy Lucy (that's how they spell it at Matt's), a burger with cheese cooked inside of the meat. Matt's is one of two claimants to the burger's invention, regardless of who invented it, the restaurant is very popular.

A jucy lucy (or juicy lucy) is a cheeseburger having the cheese inside the meat patty rather than on top. A piece of cheese is surrounded by raw meat and cooked until it melts, resulting in a molten core of cheese within the patty. This scalding hot cheese tends to gush out at the first bite, so servers frequently warn patrons to let the sandwich cool for a few minutes before consumption.
