Maid rites dont have sauce
Sloppy Joes have sauce
Both are hot garbage compared to a basic ass burger

The Miles Inn in Sioux City has the best version of a loose meat and it's called a Charlie Boy. I can't even begin to explain how good they are. I know there has to be some other NW IA peeps that can vouch for me here.

Never heard of it.

I'm from Clarinda and somewhere around 10 years older than Chris. Some of the thing he says when he talks about growing up in Clarinda makes me feel as if it is the other way or that we are from alternates universes.

boomers on another level... hahahhahahhahah

sorry dude

I’ve never had a good maid rite.

Because they are not good and have little flavor.

My grandma made "Maid-Rites" that were ground beef cooked with a can of chicken noodle soup. Wasn't quite a sloppy joe because of the lack of tomato base, but not as dry as some Maid Rites.

I'm about to make a trip to Clarinda, folks.

No, sloppy joes =/= maid rites.

Maid Rite is a brand and a whole different beast. They use incredibly finely chopped meat with very little else (the grease is all that flavors it). You put your ketchup on it, maybe a dill pickle slice, and eat up (with fries of course).

Sloppy joes are made at home from crudely ground beef and a can of Manwich (no substitutes allowed).

There was a Maid Rite in Ogden when I was growing up and that's where all the grandpas had coffee so I'd go with my grandpa. You don't disrespect them by calling them sloppy joes.

There was maid rite in the mall when I went to ISU. Most disgusting little rubber BBs you could try to eat. I think that is where they came up with idea of field turf, someone dropped a maid rite on astro tuff and they found it bouncy when they stepped on it. Then preceded to slip and whack their head since its as greasy as it is fatty.

We call our Sloppy Joe's a tavern. Ketchup/mustard/brown sugar sauce.

If you put ketchup on a "Maid Rite", it effectively turns it into a Sloppy Joe.

You must be from NW Iowa. What they called them went we went to wrestling meets in that area.

At church dinners I've seen them use cream of mushroom to keep the meat moist.

Put a layer of tater tots over that and it almost sounds like my mom's tater tot casserole.

That sounds pretty familiar too.

Worst thing is having fond memories of that stuff and then having it again as an adult with an expanded taste palate. Stuff is the most bland thing in the world. I remember my grandma never using much pepper cause it was too spicy for gramps.

jeremy drunk again

Loose meat sandwiches were usually called beef burgers at my school and area. They are better than maid rites since they have different seasoning.

 

[cyclones500]

The only other time I’ve seen maid rites and sloppy joes conflated was my elementary school cafeteria

Bonus for using the word "conflated."

You were SO close to nailing it.

You have them with Onion Rings - Maid-Rites had the best Onion Rings.

Seriously though, we need an intervention with CW before this goes viral. He'll bet slaughtered if this gets out.

The legislature should do us all a favor and ban those goddam maid-rite things.

Where was this thread in the dead of summer when nothing was going on?

 

[cyclones500]

We're forgetting a key aspect of the discussion.

Maid-Rite is a brand name and should be capped appropriately.

"sloppy joe" is generic, lowercase.

Every mom knows you put a layer of green beans in there to pretend it’s a healthy meal.
