Thu Jan 01 08:08:10 -0800 2009 205869 jillbcooks 1 4287762 Yeah, that show made me want to try loose meat sandwiches, too. I was mildly disappointed when I finally went to a Maid Rite in Des Moines, but it wasn't bad. But it's an Iowa thing - I don't think there are any Maid Rites in the Twin Cities. This post mentions The Barn in Brainerd (closer than Iowa): http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/564115 Anne Thu Jan 01 11:09:12 -0800 2009 4287405 12541 AnneInMpls 2 4287801 there is a Maid Rite in bloomington/normal illinois by ISU Thu Jan 01 11:24:12 -0800 2009 4287762 253186 bbwillinois 2 4287804 Here's a Maid-Rite in Hopkins off off Shady Lake Road. Address: 5757 Sanibel Dr Ste 13, Hopkins, MN 55343-4110 Phone: (952) 933-3036 Thu Jan 01 11:28:29 -0800 2009 4287762 26818 shoo bee doo 3 4287997 Wow! I stand corrected - there *is* a Maid Rite in the Twin Cities. Bon appetit to your husband, Jill! Anne Thu Jan 01 13:04:49 -0800 2009 4287804 12541 AnneInMpls 3 4289798 When I checked this address in Google Maps it said there was a request put in to remove Maid-Rite from the map on September 23. Is it still open? Fri Jan 02 09:40:23 -0800 2009 4287804 10675 Davydd 3 4290344 I went to that address about a year ago. It's a strip mall and Maid-Rite was not there anymore. It became a pizza or gyro place IIRC. Fri Jan 02 12:54:36 -0800 2009 4287804 44209 NordeastB 1 4287895 We also say a sign for Maid Rite while driving up 94 towards Fargo last week. I can't remember exactly where it was but I want to say it was before Albertville. Thu Jan 01 12:11:38 -0800 2009 4287405 52149 katebauer 2 4288243 Kate, there's one in St. Cloud. Is that the one you were thinking of? ~TDQ Thu Jan 01 15:13:58 -0800 2009 4287895 12005 The Dairy Queen 3 4288637 Probably - I wasn't sure where we were but it was before the baby woke up and started to scream around Alexandria :) Thu Jan 01 18:29:22 -0800 2009 4288243 52149 katebauer 1 4288339 If you're ever in the Quad Cities (off I-80 on the IL/IA border), you must try the loose meat sandwiches at Ross's. Far better than any Maid Rite.

Ah, here's the link: http://www.minnesotamonthly.com/media/Minnesota-Monthly/July-2008/Burger-Kings/ It was the Tender Maid in Austin. Fri Jan 02 06:55:21 -0800 2009 4287405 13777 Jordan
