The Most Mouth-Watering Chopped Cheese

[@illphacen]

As a NYer, this was a valiant attempt bro🙏🏾-A few points: the bodegas chop the patty a little more finely and the bread is a little different (likely from bakery). Also, the sandwich is rolled right and tight, the contents don’t spill out the sides. (All these points may seem like a nitpick but I swear they affect the flavor profile).

[@Sirbiznis]

facts you on point with this one

[@sheltonalexander6785]

Yup, also he didn't get a bodega cat to walk on the bread.

[@ChrisCann-wn8ss]

Missing the pickles too

[@all3nking]

Bro missing one important fact... He ain't the ock😂

[@morrismonet3554]

This is exactly like a home cook would do it. Bodegas wrap tightly because they are made to take out.

[@cy-fairclean8458]

AB almost made me bite my iPad while watching this video. Those buns was toasted to perfection. Asked on comments a lot of folks didn’t know about using mayo. I am over 50 and since a child, using mayo to toast bread make grilled cheese, etc. was normal.

I love chopped cheese sandwiches. I like to do mine with bell peppers and a Colby jack cheese. I also use a brioche baguette for the bread. I like the how the baguette gets crunchy

[@dracodawnstars8245]

I have never heard of a chopped cheese sandwich.....until now. This looks ABSOLUTLEY DELICIOUS!!! 💗💗💗

[@DeRicardo4980]

It's just a damn cheeseburger chopped up or shredded and put in a roll or hero with lettuce and tomatoes nothing freaking special!!!

[@TheEnigmaticBM39]

​@@DeRicardo4980 lol calm down dude

[@Doone226]

It's a staple in NYC bodegas, like the Philly Cheesesteak in PA.

[@morrismonet3554]

@@DeRicardo4980 Funny thing is, I don't like salad on my cheeseburger. But if I want lettuce and tomato, I make a chopped cheese. It IS special, and all about the seasoning.

[@Incognitocheeto1234]

[@hendu7111]

You know what I like about this? The rolls. Lots of other folks use these hand made or artisan rolls that I can't easily find. The rolls he uses are what I would find in my grocery store so using real world items is what I'm talking about. Good man.

[@BrwnSkinLady2114]

I made this for dinner tonight. Super easy and really delicious! I toasted the bread with mayo for the first time and I will forever more eat all my hot sandwiches this way! Game changer!

[@crunkedreviews5275]

It's 2023 you just found this out?

[@deborahpickett7480]

I've been doing that after working for a hamburger stand 50 years ago. Use it with your tuna sandwich, put mayo on the outside of your bread and grill that side.👍

[@StillOnTrack]

Yeah the mayo trick is so good. I won't make grilled chicken breast any other way now either. So much better than oil for non-stick and good browning

[@cmfreeusa7040]

This is awesome…one of the best sandwiches ever cooked on a griddle…I put some stoplight peppers in mine to give it some color…lip-smackin’ good groceries right there, my friend!!!!!

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

As someone with family in the Bronx and Harlem but literally like 15 minutes away from you...AWESOME. Simpler is better. It's not meant to be some overly fancy sandwich like some of these gentrifiers be making it.

AB, you are the man. I have tried so many of your recipes and simply love them. My husband says my food is different, I know he means delicious, because I can see how he eats more and doesn't hesitate to come to the table at dinner. It's all because of your channel. You rock!

[@Clipwilsonbeats]

Being a native New Yorker and Harlem native where the chopped cheese was originated the key to a chopped cheese is put the bread in a panini press

[@LogicOnLockDown]

Shoutout to AB. You taught some good recipes. I appreciate your channel and keep on cooking.

[@loydevan1311]

GREAT VIDEO & RECIPE! I would like to put a cup of chopped red & a cup gren peppers. When folding the sandwich together I'd cover the cooked ground beef, onion, bell pepper & cheese with room temperature cheese slices just to hold it all together then dress the lettuce & tomato 🍅 😋. Once again inspirational recipe.

[@jerseyshoreprepping7346]

Ab looks amazing!! As someone who works in ny I have had alot of these!! Here is a little hint...try and hit it with a touch of oil amd vinegar on top the lettuce and tomato. Add another layer of flavor!!
