The G&R Tavern in Waldo, population 330, 35 miles north of Columbus, uses between 900 and 1,000 pounds of bologna a week, the Chicago Tribune reports. The meat goes into three specialties -- the classic fried bologna sandwich, the ground bologna sandwich and the Country Boy, a cheeseburger topped by tomato, onion and two slices of bologna. Advertisement Fried bologna sandwiches are an old Ohio specialty, possibly created by German immigrants who flocked to the state. They are sold at Major League baseball games in both Cincinnati and Cleveland and at roadside stands, taverns and other eateries around the state. The Tribune describes the G&R fried bologna sandwich as a thick piece of meat that has gone through the frying process without becoming greasy, accompanied by Monterey Jack cheese. Tom Pannett, a retired middle-school principal, told the newspaper he agrees with the general consensus on the tavern. "This sandwich has more sustenance. It's solid meat. It's not soft or mushy," Pannett said.
