The Vikings offensive line and Kirk Cousins put their taste buds to the test and settled the great Minnesota debate: Does Matt’s Bar or the 5-8 Club have the best Juicy Lucy?
The two fabled Minneapolis bars both have claims to being the originators of the Juicy/Jucy Lucy, but whose taste the best?
In a blind test, the offensive lineman and the Vikings quarterback each ate the two separate burgers and then voted on which one was better.
We settle it once and for all.
An honest, non-biased taste testing.

After the tasting, which involves exclamations as molten cheese spurted from the center of their burgers, the 5-8 Club won by four votes to three.
Cousins was among those picking the 5-8 Club, though he also needed to put ketchup on his burger so take his opinion with a grain of salt.
After a frame-by-frame look here’s how the voting broke down:
Blake Brandel: 5-8
Garrett Bradbury: 5-8
Ezra Cleveland: 5-8
Kirk Cousins: 5-8
Brian O’Neill: Matt’s
Austin Schlottmann: Matt’s
Chris Reed: Matt’s
