Juicy Lucy, producer of the beloved frozen cheese-stuffed hamburger patties, announces its retail launch in all 26 Gelson’s locations this week. These Angus burger patties are available in two varieties: Cheese-Stuffed and Jalapeño Cheese Stuffed and are the first frozen Juicy Lucy burger patties on the market. They’re being sold with an MSRP of $14.99 for a six-pack of 5.3oz patties, and Gelson’s will be offering them at $12.99 for a limited time.
“Our team at Juicy Lucy Inc. has been featuring the fresh-made versions of these cheese-stuffed favorites on the menu at famed Hollywood restaurant Barney's Beanery for decades. A fan favorite, the team has now turned their attention to bringing this classic recipe to the frozen retail market space,” says Aldo Lanzillotta, Chef and Co-Founder of Juicy Lucy Inc. “It took us years of passion and precision to perfect a recipe that people can enjoy in the comfort of their home, which makes it so rewarding now to see the product on shelves.”
A Juicy Lucy is a hamburger patty stuffed with cheese, which was invented and made famous in Minneapolis in the 1950s. According to the press release, for decades, the Juicy Lucy has been a staple in homes and restaurants across the country, including Barney’s Beanery, the original Route 66 Roadhouse.
Now these Juicy Lucy burger patties are available in the Gelson’s frozen foods aisle. Each Juicy Lucy patty is made with 4.3 oz of Angus Beef, 1 oz of cheese (the equivalent of two slices), and a delicious blend of spices, resulting in a 4.78” round, 3/4" thick burger with 27g of protein.
