What is a Maid-Rite? Trying Greenville, Ohio’s Famous Loose Meat Sandwich
Have you ever heard of a Maid-Rite? My friend Steve just flew in with a bag of these legendary "loose meat" sandwiches straight from Greenville, Ohio.
If you've never had one, think of it as a Sloppy Joe without the sauce—seasoned ground beef served on a steamed bun with a very specific set of toppings. In this video, we break down what makes a Maid-Rite unique, the difference between a "Maid-Rite" and a "Cheese-Rite," and the unusual gum-covered tradition at the original shop.
