Juicy Lucía (Cubano-Inspired Juicy Lucy Burger):
"Introducing my Juicy Lucía: a fusion of Minneapolis’ favorite burger, where the cheese is cooked inside the meat, with the classic Cubano, a Cuban-American staple. First I seasoned ground pork with the citrusy and garlicky flavors of mojo marinade, traditionally used for slow-roasted pork shoulder. A slice of Swiss cheese, the Cubano's signature cheese, is nestled inside the patty before cooking. The burger is then paired with the iconic combination of ham, pickles, and Dijon mustard, and pressed in butter after assembly to achieve the Cubano's signature look and texture. While potato bread stands in for the traditional Cuban bread, its similarity to Medianoche bread—a sweet, enriched bread used for a Cubano variation—adds another layer of inspiration. I promise this Juicy Lucía will be one of the best burgers you've ever had." —César Pérez
