A tavern sandwich (also called a loose meat sandwich or loosemeat) is a sandwich consisting of ground beef on a bun, mixed with sauteed onions, and sometimes topped with pickles, ketchup, mustard, and cheese.
In this manner, is a loose meat sandwich a sloppy joe?
No. The major difference between a Loose Meat Sandwich and a Sloppy Joe is the absence of a tomato-based sauce. Well, really a sauce of any kind. Rather than swimming in a seasoned sauce, a loose meat sandwich is simply dry crumbles of flavored ground beef served like a loose hamburger.
In this way, why is it called a tavern sandwich?
According to the Sterns, David Heglin of Ye Olde Tavern in Sioux City, Iowa invented the loose meat sandwich. That’s why you will often see them called “tavern sandwiches” or “tavern burgers” or just “taverns” on menus, particularly at more mom-n-pop type establishments.
