Why is it called a tavern sandwich?
Created in 1920 in Montana, the steam hamburger was a precursor to what we call a tavern today. In 1926, the Maid-Rite restaurant started serving their version in Iowa under the name “loose meat sandwich.” The name “tavern” came later after a restaurant that served the sandwich was bought and turned into a tavern.
Is a loose meat sandwich the same as 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.
