It's the tweet that launched a thousand tips.

Restaurant tips, that is. On Wednesday night, supermodel Chrissy Teigen gave a big hello to Minneapolis on Twitter, announcing her presence here and that she was hungry.

Like the gracious Minnesotans that we are, hundreds (thousands?) of locals immediately tweeted back with their recommendations. Of course, one tip stuck out right away:

Her (classic) response:

Erotic, Chrissy? No, that's just a regular ol' Monday in Minnesota.

Another tweeter smartly notified her that there was an ice cream flavor named in her honor at the always-busy Milkjam Creamery.

OK, back to the Juicy/Jucy Lucy chatter. Apparently, she's in town for a meeting. A very important meeting, and burgers stuffed with cheese are needed. More:

Oh this is going to be good, people!

UPDATE: Andrew Zimmern chimes in!

UPDATE NO. 2: She ended up eating at ... Smack Shack? Yep.

UPDATE NO. 3: She got takeout from Matt's Bar (bags and bags of Jucy Lucys). You'll have to check her Snapchat for the evidence, though.
