Yes, but it’s missing the pop tarts, red velvet pancakes w/ fruity pebbles, Doritos, joes pizza, and above all… the mozz sticks.

Are you saying the people making food at bodegas and food trucks aren’t pro chefs? They literally cook for a living…..

Most food truck cooks I know report their business as a clothing retailor to keep their amateur status for the Olympics.

Cooking for a living does not make one a chef my dude.

honesttickonastick t1_j29p0fb wrote

It really does though

NeoGh0st t1_j29xdmg wrote

It actually doesn’t though. You need to be certified and trained as a chef to have that designation.

Next you’ll say the line cook at Denny’s is a chef.

Spoiler alert: he’s not.

The food looks good, so, I’m assuming that means the truck is run down?

How many sandwiches would need to be bought so you can get a fresh coat of paint and a mechanic?

Agree, but now a days hipsters turning everything "fancy". For example birria tacos.

Awesome video and they seem like great guys. I didn't know that chopped cheese was such a new thing, with how much cred it gets as a classic NYC sandwich I would have figured there was a longer history to it.

Take a hamburger patty. Cook that bitch. Chop it up nice and good. Put cheese on it. Then add whatever the fuck else you want on it. Put that shit on a bun. Boom. Chopped cheese. Delicious. It's somewhat comparable to a Philly cheesesteak but don't ever tell that to anyone from Philly or New York. You will get stabbed.

I always confuse chopped cheese with chipped beef (SoS) and end up getting both.

I think that’s the general consensus but personally I’m a bigger fan of steaks. I don’t really like the rabe and Provolone that much, wish I did though

Not in my experience. Cheesesteaks all the way.

I do personally prefer the chopped cheese. I just love addition of the tomato and lettuce in there with a skoosh of mayo.

I’m a sucker for cheesesteak hoagies so I think chopped cheese would be a tier above steaks for me

Anerky t1_j271g2e wrote

It’s easier to make at home than the OG cheesesteak. You can use hamburger Patties and chop them up or just use plain ground beef, melt American cheese into it with a diced onion, too with lettuce tomato ketchup Mayo on a sub roll.

TakeItToTheMax t1_j275abt wrote

I have 3 lbs of frozen raw ground beef leftover from Christmas Eve. Maybe I’ll make homemade chopped cheeses soon!

Anerky t1_j27617n wrote

Use shredded iceberg lettuce, the shittiest kind you can buy at the grocery store and make sure to really fold the cheese into the meat

TakeItToTheMax t1_j277xeq wrote

Haha I more than likely will not buy iceberg cause we won’t use it, but when I want that vibe for sandwiches/burgers I use the bottom part of Romaine hearts that are kinda pale yellow. Not the same but gets the job done

Duuuuude! Looks dope!! I had to seek one of these out at what is allegedly the OG spot they were invented (obviously a few people claim that). Either way it’s considered a legendary spot. Blue Sky Deli (Hajji’s) in East Harlem. I had never had one before 10/10 would devour again.

I just saw someone make a 2-3 foot wrap. Finished off on the grill with a bacon wrap on the outside for flavor crunch. It's not event close or appealing

Wonderful delicious comfort, a perfect flavor sensation for the taste buds. Textures are not bad either, totally yummy.

Never been to New York but this thing looks overrated to me. Looks like it'd taste pretty much like a cheeseburger, just in a different form factor.

SCPH-1000 t1_j264d0h wrote

There’s for sure a similarity in taste but I’d argue it’s kinda a cross between a cheeseburger and a Philly cheesesteak. The chop and cheese being mixed into the chopped meat changes the texture and how it tastes to my mind.

Also gotta remember this is something you get for dirt cheap and is there for you on a drunken walk home after the bars or a quick bite before catching a bus. It’s the cost and availability that makes it famous here.

iced1777 t1_j26g1qj wrote

It's not supposed to be a fancy sandwich served to impress tourists. It's an affordable every-man's sandwich that hits the spot after a long day at work or a long night out. Basically it's just good street food.

You say that like it’s a bad thing? But the hoagie roll is different than a burger bun. Easier to wrap and eat on the go too. Chopped cheeses are amazing.

Wiggie49 t1_j2526m2 wrote

Chopped Cheese =/= Cheesesteak

Cheesesteak is made with thin sliced beef, ideally ribeye. A Chopped Cheese is a burger patty that’s chopped up on a flat top and put in a roll by the guy at the bodega at 2am after you been walking home from a night out
