"While the plain pulled pork is great sauceless, in this sandwich meat and sauce are inextricable."

"Listen to the Welte player organ and order the Gom Cheese-Brr-Grr. The Zaharakos brothers are believed to have invented the Sloppy Joe over 75 years ago, and the Gom tastes like one of the best you’ve ever had. Ground beef is mixed with mild spices, some tomato sauce, and cheese and served on toast. Chase it with my favorite—a hand-mixed cinnamon Coke."

"These loose-meat sandwiches include ketchup and a taco-seasoning-imbued sauce that binds the ground beef between two sides of a hamburger bun. You'll find these sandwiches in myriad small cafes around the state, but head to the Fabulous Kegs Drive-In in Grand Forks and pair your sandwich with onion rings."
