Okay, Hoosier girl has to clarify that the Manhattan roast beef is an open faced roast beef with mashed potatoes…covered with gravy, because that’s what you do with open faced sandwiches. It’s normal diner fare lots of places, but I wouldn’t call it weird, nor an Indiana thing.
The sugar cream pie doesn’t go ON the sandwich…it’s dessert. That one is pretty uniquely Indiana…I’ve never seen it anywhere else. It’s also delicious … not weird.
