'American Stomach' Digests the Jucy Lucy

The Associated Press's ASAP visits Matt's Bar in Minneapolis for one of the fabled joint's cheese-stuffed burgers:
The Jucy Lucy itself is supremely satisfying -- not the best I've had, but several notches above average. It comes on a soft, undusted roll, and the cheese and attendant oils squirt out much like the juice of a fresh Shanghai soup dumpling; if you bite hearty, and most do, the cheese's trajectory and velocity can easily scald your boothmate's face. My only regret: I had lunch too early to wash it down with a Grain Belt Premium beer. Or five.
What I really want to know about, however (and, no, it's not burger related, but bear with me), is a place this story mentions in passing, Lou's Fish, "which features the very unlikely combination of smokehouse and motel."
