Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius - Matthew McConaughey, Casper's and Runyon's Nook

In the dining room adjacent to the Bowling Alley, TONS of dollar bills are tacked to the ceiling~ What an atmosphere!

Welcome to Casper's and Runyon's Nook, where the bowling alley is in the basement and your dollar bills go on the ceiling. Oh, and the cheeses are inside the burgers. The Minneapolis area is notorious for their "Juicy Lucy's", hamburgers stuffed with cheese and topped with caramelized onions.  




Caramelized onions topping off the perfection that is The Juicy Nookie

This, my friends, is the "Juicy Nookie", as featured on the food network show Diners, Drive ins and Dives. The gorgeous burger is part of  the stuffed section of Casper's and Runyon's Nook menu, which features such greats as The Spanish Fly (50% beef 50% chorizo burger stuffed with queso cheese) and the Stuffed Philly Cheeseburger (swiss cheese, mushrooms, and green bell peppers). How can one truly go wrong with a luscious burger overflowing with molten cheese? You can't. Casper's and Runyon's Nook proves this sentiment right again and again. The french fries accompanying this symphony of greasy goodness are the perfect vessels to scoop all the fallen cheese and ketchup you could possibly ask for. 



Isn't it beautiful? Look at dat cheese
Final verdict? YES. BURGERS STUFFED WITH CHEESE. AND BOWLING! I will be heading back to Casper's and Runyon's Nook during my next trip to Minneapolis. I hope you guys stop by too.
