The original Maid Rite

Yesterday we picked up my parents and headed about 30 minutes North to Greenville, Ohio. I was born in Greenville and haven't been there in years. I have been craving these little things that they call Maid Rites. Outside you have a small little brick building that has been there for I would say over 80 years. There are about 8 booths, a bar and standing room. The bathroom is located in the white building you see next door. Along the side of the building is the famous Wall of Gum. Since my parents can remember everyone has stuck their gum on the wall. I don't know how this started but it is an odd sight. I guess the new owners want to clean it off and there are major protests from people probably older than the owners..

The great wall of gum goes on forever.. or at least as long as the building.

They have a nice little clean lot with a Drive Thur and a few picnic tables for your outside dining experience. Inside you get this. Simple little loose meat burger with pickles, onion and mustard. No trays, no fancy fries or salads.. just chips and sandwiches. You walk up to the counter order your sandwich, they hand them over with your drinks and you are on your way. They are a little different but something everyone needs once in a while.

Here is there website and recipe which used to be guarded by employees. I may try to make them and see if it's the same.. So if you are in the Greenville, Darke County, Ohio area you must make a stop and try them. Remember to chomp on your gum before you get there to add to the wall.
