-- Talk to me about Mugs-Up and NUWAY loose-meat burger sandwiches!
 

I've not been to either - however I make a nice loose-meat sandwhich w/ equal parts of ground chuck to yellow chopped onion - both are destroyed to tiny pellets - then - steamed bun (standard bun, small), yellow mustard and kraft singles. I was out of pickles today when I made them again - I use a seasoned salt and a bit of black pepper as my only seasonings.

Somehow I never tried either spot!

For those of you that have gone - let's discuss them, how are they? what do you order? is the service good as well? (friendly employees, etc, etc)


fries?
onion rings?
drinks?
sweets?

They have good root beer.

If you like your food to soak the bag it came in with grease, you may like the food.

I do! :)

I see a few of loose-meat locations offer cheeze-wiz!

That Brandon kid seems sweet.

Loose meat?

I'm trying to not fail CP, but I can't think of any good Hope Solo jokes.

I haven't been there in a while but Mugs Up used to have Peach Nehi floats. The food is cheap but it's good for a dive.

Next time you go - would you take some shots of the food and post them here?

Speaking of loose meat sammy's, I had a Bierock sandwich this weekend at Harry's Country Club in the river market. It's ground beef, onion, and cabbage, all wrapped up in a fully enclosed "bun". It comes with an au jus to dip it in. Will smash many more times.

they look like this (not my actual meal).

My mom used to make those. I loved them.

Lovely - thank you!

My grandmother was an Independence, Mo. native and she'd make the loose-meat sandwiches all of the time - that's the only reason I even know what they are!

Have you made it Leavenworth and didn't let me know?

No sir! I had just remembered Grandma Grace making them and calling them New Way (NUWAY) burgers back in the day. I did some research and remembered there was actual establishments in KC that offered these burger sandwiches.
