IT'S MUST-CHEESE TV
Travel Channel's "Food Wars" (9 p.m. Tuesday) is "cheesier" than ever thanks to its latest battleground: Minneapolis. Matt's Bar's "Jucy Lucy" takes on the 5-8 Club's "Juicy Lucy" in a spirited contest seasoned with sexual innuendo by host Camille Ford and fattened up with cameos from local dignitaries such as Fox's Alix Kendall, Mpls.St.Paul magazine's Stephanie March, Minnesota Monthly's Dara Grumdahl and Minnesota Vikings mascot Ragnar, who feeds most of his burger to his beard.
The showdown -- Matt's leaner, more conservative offering vs. 5-8's "size matters" approach -- takes place at the Cardinal Bar and the results should prove to the rest of the nation that we just don't dine on lutefisk and walleye. The winning bar receives no prize -- except for bragging rights and the world's best stomachache.
