From the esteemed Barb Schaller:
Here's from the Top Secret Recipes site - from smething resembling a requests section, I think: "There is a little restaurant in Greenville, Ohio Darke County called "Maid Rites." They have been in business FOREVER! My mother used to go there as young girl and in turn told us kids about it, and even took us there as a treat. My husband and I still go there to eat whenever we are in Greenville. They make a loose meat sandwich that people talk about for days after having one...or two or three. We have taken out-of-town friends there and turned them on to the unique taste of these sandwiches. I can still remember Mother preparing us for the various wads of gum stuck to the outside of the building left there by people waiting at the drive-thru windows. All of these years later people STILL deposit their gum on the exterior walls of the restaurant! It's such a tradition now. Several years ago there was a major fire in the restaurant and we all held our collective breaths to see if they would rebuil-remodel-reopen and they did!!! Many years ago Mother was going through some old recipes and ran across one that she said her mother gave her for Maid Rite sandwiches. I have made them and with some time and the right amount of "pinches" of spices you can replicate the famous Maid Rite loose meat sandwiches. There are probably other little restaurants across the country that boast their recipe is the original...Here is the one we have:

Brown & drain the hamburger. Stir in the other ingredients and simmer. Spices are added "to taste." The Maid Rite serves their sandwiches with a choice of cheese, mustard and chopped fresh onion.
