Subject: sloppy Joes are alive and well in Utah
So far everyone seems to agree that "sloppy Joe" refers to a sandwich
made with ground beef in a chili-like sauce. (In my experience, always
between hamburger buns.)
...
I don't remember running across any sandwich called a "sloppy Joe"
anywhere else in Oregon or in the West, for that matter....
That's what they've always been called here, and the definition's the
same. They're quite common, in my experience, and I've never heard any
other term used for them except "sloppy Joe."
