Is New York serious with this “chopped cheese” bullshit?
- Thread starter zoggy
- Start date
First Sasso with the chair shot against New York, now Stinkles off the top rope with an elbow drop from hell. How will New York respond? How will Chopped Cheese get up from this???
I was debating on going by a bodega in the Bronx to try one but then I remembered I could make my own by just going to McDonald's, taking the burger out, chopping it up and putting the sandwich back together.
I mean, that would be more expensive and annoying and then you'd be eating McDonalds processed, frozen beef instead of a mom and pop hamburger. What kind of "long roll" we talking here? Like a hot dog bun? A bolo? A sesame roll? What's the bread?
I better not go look this up and find out it's just a chopped up chimichanga.
Jesus man, as pretentious as the First We Feast video was, you know some street food version of this in New York is going to be magnitudes better than whatever beef base products McDonalds is serving.
pork roll is a fantastic breakfast meat that goes well with cheese, egg and ketchup on either an everything bagel or kaiser roll.
(I'm almost certain this has already been said but here goes anyway)
I think the differentiator is that they mix the mince with the cheese (and other stuff, I suppose?) on the grill. The taste is likely to be different to just slathering ingredients on top of the patty like a conventional burger or sandwich.
But cheese melts on hot food without having to put it on the grill so that really doesn't make much sense. If the argument is that it's more evenly spread with the meat, see my torta or Philly comparison.
Lol
Clearly have never been to Los Angeles
Gtfo with saying nonsense like that, Food Network
Well, yeah. That's why that comparison had been made since the beginning. Ground beef is a lot more accessible than thinly sliced steak though.
It's gas station food, not fine cuisine. I'm sure there's regional reverence for it because it's something people grew up with, it's cheap, and it's convenient. I'm the same way with the mojo potatoes at the shitty liquor/gas store near my house as a kid.
People saying all this crazy shit never had one in NYC. I tried one in LA and it tasted way different due to where they get their meat. The meat in NYC comes from the tri-state area majority of the time so there is a ceratin taste. But stay salty ERA.
Live in queens, never heard of it. Wife has lived in NY for 18 years, never heard of it.
This is the best post.

From Chicago, "new york style" which is thin and crispy is better, yeah, but you can find those spots in Chicago lol. The categorization of 'za is getting outta hand.
I'll eat a chopped cheese, I'll try anything once, what's the issue?

Did anybody say it's not a good sandwich? Cheeseburgers are quite popular.
It's street food, like Halal or dirty water hotdogs or dollar pizza. Course it's good, it's not supposed to be some fancy culinary thing. It's supposed to be good and cheap and it's both.
Chopped cheese is a hood classic.
Even if you lived here, you'd have never heard of it unless you were an un-ironic bodega connoisseur. Chopped cheeses are the food you eat when it's 3am in East Tremont and nothing is open at all. That's what you get when you're getting something to go with your Wise potato chips and the dutch you're about to split and roll up. That's what you get when even the Kennedy/Texas/New York/Royal Fried chicken spot is closed.
You won't see anyone copping these in any neighborhood that's "cool" (unless they were in one of those artisanal upscale bullshit versions, or it's a large neighborhood in various stages of gentrification).
...and yeah, it's not about being super-delicious (although it's pretty delicious). It's about being super-cheap and ubiquitous.

What are you talking about? It's not like Kobe Beef over there. You guys get the same shit the rest of us do. The reason it tasted worse in LA is because in LA everything is fucking worse!
I wish I could slap the shit out of you right now. 'za'...fuck is that?
The maillard reaction does apply to cheese. I think we can all agree browned, crunchy bits are great.
