Red and Trudy's
Not-So-Sloppy Joes I grew up on this one, too, thanks to Red and Trudy, who I never met! |

About this recipe
I grew up in Olean, New York, a mountain-valley town located about 70 miles south of Buffalo and maybe 10 miles north of the Pennsylvania state line. Back in the 1950s there was a drive-up restaurant a few miles outside of town called Red's & Trudy’s. To order, you left your car and walked up to a window on the front of the small white, wood-frame building. The Red's &Trudy's specialty, and my favorite, was their version of a hamburger – this recipe – which I have dubbed a Not-So-Sloppy Joe!
As a footnote, Red's and Trudy's Restaurant is still in operation. They remain understandably famous for their buttered and salted buns and their "loose" hamburgers! Ingredients
