When you hear « Sloppy Joe » probably you think about a famous chain of restaurants. They are famous because they prepare American food like pizzas, hamburgers, salads and a high number of desserts.
But not only it is a restaurant, « Sloppy Joe » is an American dish composed by a big ground beef, onions, sweetened tomato sauce (or ketchup) and other seasonings. It is served on a hamburger bun. It could be served hot, but sometimes it could be served cold after improvising on the original burger. It has his origin in the United States.
The name « sloppy » (quasi-liquid) comes from the fact that by eating this, sandwichmeat is often spilled. Sometimes this does not happen because it is served as a « toast » or open sandwich one inside. A Sloppy Joe served without bread is often referred to as a saucy beefeater, a reference to the Beefeaters.
When « Sloppy Joe » is cooked with meat turkey, it is called « Sloppy Tom »
The Original Sloppy Joe Sandwich was invented at Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West, Florida, or by a cook named Joe at a cafe in Sioux City.
It has different alternatives names : Wimpies, Yip vips, Slushburgers, Barbecues, Hot tamales and Taverns, depending on the place in the United States.
