This sandwich was served with a stack of skinny fench-fried onions or fries. And don't even think about a bun - it must be light rye bread. This is a two-fisted sandwich.
For each sandwich, use 1/2 lb ground round, grilled or broiled to your preferred doneness. Butter one side of 2 slices rye , and place buttered side down, on a hot grill, griddle pan or skillet. While it cooks, place a slice of American cheese on the unbuttered side of just one of the slices. Top the cheese with about 1 TB chopped green olives and about the smae amount of sliced, grilled onions. By now the cheese should be melting. Place the meat patty on it and top with second slice of bread. Serve with a cold beverage - beer, a cold Coke.....and enjoy the melty goodness!

I can't recall the name of the bar near Tiger Stadium where this was served, in any case both are past history now. Tiger Stadium was still standing the last time I whizzed through Detroit on I-75 a year or so ago. The Press Club has not fared even that well.
