NC would be pulled pork, can confirm. We have more pigs here than cattle, and the BBQ we're famous for is inherently understood to be a pork dish. We know Texas does steak, but that's their opinion with its own specific category.
I would think Iowa's loose meat sandwich is also....basically pulled pork? Only...it is "some type of unlabeled meat?" Which is not the best marketing a sandwich could have, but when you're hungry, you're hungry.
The loose meat thing looks a lot like a sloppy Joe to me, but I've never heard of it before
It's beef. The loose meat sandwich, i mean. Seasoned minced beef with onions. It's much better than it sounds. There's a place in Ottumwa that started it, but Made-Rite is the big franchise.
But please dear god don't judge Iowa's food culture on this map.
