| Those were invented about 15 miles from here by a guy in Muscatine, Iowa then franchised all over the midwest. Fred Angell I think, sometime in the 20's. At one time, most of the small towns around the area had a Maid-Rite Diner, now just a few but they are still around.
You've never craved anything until you have one of those!!! Put some cheese whiz on it and call it a cheese-rite... yum!
It's a secret, but we make something pretty close at home. Doesn't have beer it it, but it does have a touch of Coke (or so I've heard), browned then put in a steamer, served in it's own drippings. No Tomato paste/sauce/etc, at all just crumbled and seasoned meat. Just season it how you like, throw a couple pickles on it, a little mustard, ketchup, and serve on a bun.
Damm, now I want to run down there and get a sack full for supper!!!
