I refuse to call it a "loose meat sandchich" because that reminds me of floppy ole slabs of meat rather than expertly, finely ground high-grade beef.
The hill that CW will die on?

My wife initially made her own sauce for sloppy joes because her mom used to do it that way. After a couple of times, I asked her to try it with Manwhich. She now only uses that as it just tastes better and she can't quite replicate the seasonings. She still chops up the ground beef too much though.
Growing up in NE Iowa I had never been to an actual Maid Rite. So I grew up only knowing my mom's sloppy joes or any other loose meat sandwich as maid rites - that is what she called them. I see what the difference is, but I didn't know one growing up.
Just cause momma didn't teach you right, doesn't mean you're forever lost young fella.
To be fair, I can't remember usernames with posts at all. Therefore, I've never once held a grudge on here because I can't remember who says what, even if it's always the same person. That's why I'm a **** to everybody - just assume they're one of them.
I also can't remember years/seasons things happened in sports.
A blessing and a curse.
Best loose meat sandwich ( maid rite) I’ve ever had is in Ottumwa Iowa still there I believe too.
I used that term because it's what Chris Hassel said. I call them maid-rites. Never heard it called a tavern or a loose-meat sandwich in the wild.
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.
I'm going to start referring to a Chris Williams as a Brian Ferentz... they're basically the same thing - white, male, middle-aged.
This conversation reminds me of ones Ross and CW would have frequently on their KXNO show. Maybe Chris needs an off-topic pod to add to the IE network?
