goodbye/fun facts....National Sloppy Joe Day has been around for approximately 95 years now. There have been several claims to the origin of the sloppy Joe....also called yum-yums and slush burgers. The most popular claim states that the sandwich made its debut in 1920, Havana, Cuba. A bartender called José Otero. José created and successfully sold a simple sandwich based on a Cuban dish of shredded beef, tomato sauce, and spices called Ropa Vieja. He also sold iced seafood, which would often melt and get the bar floor wet and sloppy...customers linked the two and called him ‘sloppy Joe.’ Ironically, the name stuck to both him and the sandwich. In 1969, Hunt’s, a ketchup maker, introduced the ‘Manwich,’ which made a more convenient way to prepare the sloppy Joe.  The ground beef filling can be replaced with chicken, chuck roast, or turkey.  the sloppy Jane is considered the healthier version of sloppy Joe make with either jackfruit or tofu..making it a vegan sandwich
