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

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

I've been ordering this at my local deli but I didn't know what it was I just kind of made it. We have sliced tomatoes. It tastes like beyond a full meal

As a New Yorker I approve. Where can I get this one specifically? I recommend trying the chop cheese from the Bodega Truck.

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.

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.

"I'm trying to lose weight, that's all" lol

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
