Everyone is looking for filler to chew up the time while we wait for results. Sooooo .... anyone want to hear my opinions on loose meat sandwiches?
The loose meat sandwich is an Iowa speciality, allegedly invented by the Maid-Rite diner (now a chain) in 1926. It looks like a sloppy joe without sauce. However, in flavor and mouthfeel it is probably closest to a philly cheesesteak.
I went to the Maid-Rite in Norwalk and got the cheese-rite with shredded cheddar, which I can unequivocally recommend. Absolutely delicious.
I will vote for any candidate who promises to make loose meat sandwiches as ubiquitous in the rest of the country as they are here.
And yes, for those who asked--these are the sandwiches that Roseanne started selling with her family towards the end of the show.
I don't know if Iowa deserves to hold the first primary. But I do know they deserve our thanks for inventing loose meat sandwiches.
However, Iowa, if I may make a small suggestion--it wouldn't hurt to offer provolone as an option.
