Note to self. NEVER have fettuccini in cream sauce with a glass of orange juice, unless you have lots to read in the loo afterwards!

Slaps self upside head. WHAT WAS I THINKING? duh.

Um I guess you could put chocolate on a Maid-Rite. That is if you like chocolate and ground beef.




Unique Loose Meat Sandwich
In 1926, Fred Angell, a respected butcher in Muscatine, Iowa, combined a special cut and grind of meat with a selected set of spices and created the one and only Maid-Rite sandwich.

As legend goes, Mr. Angell asked a delivery man, at his restaurant, to taste his newest sandwich creation. After a few bites, the taster exclaimed, “You know, Fred, this sandwich is just made right.” Thus our signature sandwiches name was born. Maid-Rite has withstood the test of time for over 80 years.

From our humble beginnings of a restaurant owned by a man with a dream of serving great tasting food, the sandwich that was “TOO GOOD TO BE A PATTY” was established. Maid-Rites are cooked in a delicious special seasoning in our special cut of ground beef and served on a warm home-maid bun.



Useless Unasked For Trivia

If you ever watched Roseanne, the idea for the Landford Lunchbox came when Jackie was a trucker and drove through Iowa and saw people standing in line for blocks for a "loose meat sandwich" so she stopped and got one and fell in love. How the show got the idea - Roseanne was still married to Tom Arnold at the time. They filmed a TV show called The Woman Who Loved Elvis and part of it was filmed in Ottumwa, Iowa. One day when they were filming they saw a line a block or two long downtown and some of the staff went to investigate and came back with Maid-Rites for the crew, and ate there alot while in Iowa filming. [One difference between a real Maid-Rite and a Landford Lunchbox Loose Meat Sandwich - the dripping grease that comes from the sandwich on the show is not a typical original Maid-Rite.] And the rest is Rosanne history.....

My mom tried and tried to get the recipe but failed. Copycat sites say it's chicken broth and onion powder but I've yet to try to make one on my own that tastes anything like a real one.



We now return you back to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.

Sloppy Joes have a tomato sauce. It sounds like these are just loose meat. I remember them from Roseanne.

Not like sloppy joes. Just the loose meat with seasoning, then you can put ketchup, mustard, pickle, onion, whatever you want.
Tho a good sloppy joe sounds good right now.

Yep founded in Iowa, all over Iowa, and I think there might be a few in neighboring states but I'm not sure.

Just got home from Sam's Club & Hy-Vee, got steaks to grill for supper so gonna try my best not to eat since it's closer to supper than lunch. Was hoping Sam's would have some decent samples to make my lunch but all they had was many different samples of fish and seafood. Blech.

I saw a commercial today for a new show with Alton Brown on the Food Network. He is traveling, and I saw a quick glimpse of a sign for Maid-Rite. Now how wierd is that?

I had a vegetarian chipotle burrito. It was worth 15 WW points. Not worth it. Not at all, now I can't eat anything else all damn day. ARGH. Looks like it will be tea and popcorn for supper tonight.
