The Angel brothers of Muscatine, Iowa, would be proud. Their loose meat sandwich, dubbed a Maid Rite and first served in 1926, is still being served today. Comfort food at its best, this ground beef mixture seasoned with chopped onion and beef bouillon is served on pillow-soft rolls. It's stick-to-your-ribs great food.
