The Sloppy Joe sandwich was invented in the United States over a hundred years ago. However, there is no consensus on the exact location where it originated. Most say that it was first served in a bar in Key West, Florida. Others say that it was first prepared in Sioux City, Iowa by a chef named Joe.
