The bar for regional specialties in the US is pretty low and being inordinately proud about some hacked up, mutated version of a common dish isn't restricted to NYC. That said, I'd eat it.
Yeah those pictures ain't great, here's a tavern style one from the joint I was talking about (Flo and Santos)
Word to my mother, everyone in this thread getting popped on if y’all keep talking that crazy shit. Chopped cheese was my guardian when I was dirt poor. New York also got the best pizza and LMAOOOO WHY YALL NOT CUTTING IT INTO TRIANGLES YALL REALLY BUGGIN OUTCHEA.
It’s more tangy, with a slow burn. Not that hot. Goes good on everything. Cold cut subs, tuna sammies, cheesesteaks, etc.
Lots of American cheese haters in here. It's perfectly fine, especially on a cheese burger. https://www.seriouseats.com/2016/07/whats-really-in-american-cheese.html
30 seconds in and what the fuck is that mother fucker even trying to say? Also that's a steal and cheese.
that looks so godlike, OP is just being a hater wait no i refuse to believe that people *seriously* are upset about pizza not in triangles
Chopped cheese is aight. Not fuckin with a good cheesesteak but I feel like it’s harder to find a good cheesesteak in New York than it should be (at least it’s been for my drunk ass when I’ve tried).
They had this shit when I lived in Ohio a few years back and called it "party cut" - more like horse shit. there's literally nothing to hold on to with the middle pieces + each piece is like, a bite.
Chopped Cheese... looks disgusting. Philly Cheesesteak... is disgusting. Chicago Vs New York... both bad, just Chicago is the worst. American Cheese... it has its place.
This thread may be the first time in the past decade that I’ve felt homesick for the east cost lol. Miss all the regional cheap eats and rivalries.
i'm confused. which pizza are you repping? The chicago thin crust/ohio style i'm talking about above is what I thought you were referring to.
I like how you posted an article that mentions the only good things about American cheese is that it melts nicely and doesn't taste like anything. lol
Okay, I can get behind a good square. Detroit/sicilian style is square and easily the best cut, but this shit with middle slices that are 2 inches by 2 inches and have no crust just needs to stop:
I felt better after watching the first 90 seconds of the video and seeing that other life long New Yorkers like myself also had no clue what a chopped cheese is. I'd try it if I saw it, but I certainly won't go out of my way to find one.
It's just started leaving the Bronx, in the last few years. Given time it's gonna be like the baconeggandcheese
It's a cheesesteak sandwich using hamburger meat...looks good enough but damn if this video isn't making sound like some godly next level culinary creativity that only the true spirit of NYC can provide lol
The chopped cheese I've had always included a mixed in pickle and jalapeno relish of sorts. Great stuff, when done correctly its right up with a philly.
