Can any Iowans tell me what makes this different from a Sloppy Joe (which are good btw)?

Maid-Rites don't use a tomato based sauce or ketchup like Sloppy Joes, otherwise they are pretty similar. A maid-rite is usually simmered in vegetable broth, onions and garlic and then use mustard as a condiment instead.
For some reason the picture shows ketchup on top, which really isn't the "correct" way to do it but that's kind of nitpicky.

Why is it so dry? Why not combine the minced beef with the sauce?

The pork tenderloin is Iowa's actual state food but Indiana likes to pretend it is actually theirs for some reason. Also a maid-rite (that's what the loose meat sandwich is called) is usually cooked in vegetable broth, onion and garlic to give it some flavor and juice. I agree that they're not that great tho.

There was a place that did this in my college town. It was often talked about for some reason, and people were really sad when it shut down (I guess) because it was the only place that made that in our state, but neither I nor any of my friends ever ate there even once. One of our bars downtown had a Tuesday night special that was 2 sloppy joes and a plate of fries for 2 bucks. I wasn't going to drive across town to eat the version of the same sandwich that doesn't even have any fricking sauce on it.
