Thanks Barb,Barbara L said:Canteen in Alley and Maidrite are sandwich shops that sell loose meat sandwiches (called, obviously, a canteen and a maidrite). Loose meat is ground beef that is cooked in a steamer. It breaks up like you would cook it for a sloppy joe, but there is no sauce added to it. The fat all drains out of it, and the steam keeps it juicy. I don't care for Maidrites (even though I love the one I am married to!), but I love Canteens.
