What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Season 10, Episode 7 Aired
On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' 'Made to Order' episode (aired 2010-10-25), Guy Fieri visited the original Blue Door Pub on Selby Avenue in St. Paul's Merriam Park neighborhood for the Blucy, a cheese-stuffed variant of the Jucy Lucy burger. The pub, which opened in September 2008 per Wikipedia, grew into a small Minnesota chain built around the Blucy. On 2021-04-20, CBS News and Bring Me The News both reported that the Selby Avenue original, temporarily closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, would not reopen; the owners wrote on Facebook and Instagram, 'we've had such an incredible time over the past years.'
Both outlets reported that two other Blue Door Pub locations, in Minneapolis's Longfellow and Como neighborhoods, remained open for diners at that time. Wikipedia's Blue Door Pub entry, revised 2026-06-24, lists three current locations for the chain, including one added later at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Food Paradise, Season 16, Episode 4
Food Paradise (Travel Channel) featured Blue Door Pub in the 'Sandwich Heroes' episode, spotlighting the Blucy, the pub's own variant of the stuffed Jucy Lucy burger. According to Wikipedia, revised 2026-06-24, Blue Door Pub is a small Minnesota chain founded by Jeremy Woerner and Pat McDonough that opened its first location in September 2008, later growing to locations including one on University Avenue Southeast in Minneapolis.
