When President Obama came to Minneapolis today, he wanted to go for lunch at Matt's Bar on Cedar Avenue in South Minneapolis and have a "Jucy Lucy." And he did.
By David Jackson
President Obama followed the tradition of ordering the specialty of the house during a Thursday visit to a restaurant in Minneapolis.
In this case, the house is Matt's Bar, and the specialty is known as "the Jucy Lucy" -- a burger with melted cheese in the middle of the patty.
Oh, yeah ...
Obama dined with Rebekah Erler, a 36-year-old working wife and mother who wrote to Obama about the economic challenges facing her family.
During the traditional presidential greetings of other customers in Matt's Bar, one patron asked Obama a unique: What is your favorite television show of all time?
The president's answer: MASH (1972-83), the comedy-drama about Army surgeons during the Korean War.
