Is New York serious with this “chopped cheese” bullshit?

Lol it’s New York, one of the biggest cities in the world, of course we finna have legends about mad shit out here. My fault other boring cities can’t compare.
Yeh other cities must be burning with envy right now that they aren’t known as the origin for a blended cheeseburger in a roll.

Chicagoan here and we, without a doubt, have the lamest and cheapest in the world in the form of the Maxwell St. Polish

Most cities have incredibly simple and lame food staples that probably anyone can do but why the fuck would i seek out another city for a fucking Maxwell St. polish? It's a Chicago thing, we had it first

I read that as Maxwell Saint Polish (like shoe polish) and was really intrigued as to what the fuck food item that could be.

No joke. I was making this back in the 90s when I didn't have a pot to piss in.

I mean, NYC can have it if they really want it, but it's basic, and been done before by millions of poor, hungry students the world over.

If you ain’t a New Yorker I don’t expect you to understand. Chopped Cheese is deadass legit.
You're right. I do not understand why New Yorkers' self esteem is so low that they have to "invent" things they didn't invent and sure didn't fucking popularize. That's like me putting fried shrimp in a hoagie roll and saying I invented the Po' boy.

I think I may need to try making one of these at home.
Ha ha ha ha, please, I don't think you can make a legendary, storied dish like the Chopped Cheese at home. You cannot possibly tell me that you have both hamburger meat and american cheese, you surely do not possess a spatula and if you have a functioning stove that would just blow my mind. Next thing you'll say is you have hoagie rolls.

The last time I subjected myself to that type of garbage ass cheese I was like 10 years old. Never again.

So I tried my best to recreate.


It was good. Compared to a burger, I would liken it as the difference between scrambled eggs with cheese and a cheese omelette. Chopped in about 4 slices of Land O Lakes white American cheese as I cooked the burger meat, and put half a slice on top of each serving. Didn’t have sub rolls so used burger buns. Condiments were ketchup, mayo, hot peppers, lettuce and tomato.

I rate it 8 gut bombs out of 10. Would eat again.

A classic New York slice.

Fucking hell.

This isn't some delicacy. It's shit bodega food that is tasty as fuck. This isn't supposed to be some iconic NYC food.

The point of that video is that people in hipster neighborhoods in NYC are trying to make chopped into a thing. No one who likes a good $4 chopped wants that because they're afraid it's going to make their quickly gentrifying bodegas charge more for it.

Yup. Can't wait to see artisanal ass chopped cheese at Smorgasburg for $15.

Exactly!
Went to some upscale bars in Manhattan that were selling $10 chopped cheese. Talk about missing the point.

Well truth be told I only have the hamburger meat. I’ll have to swap out the hoagie and cheese slices with wonder bread and EZ cheese.

Hey I invented a sandwich called a Long Boi. It's just egg salad in a hot dog bun. Regardless, it is part of my cultural heritage. Here's a 40 minute long documentary about it.
Franchise that shit.

Long Boi is the perfect name too.

"I am gonna get me dat Boi for lunch..."

"Here comes dat Boi truck...."
