Chopped Cheese: What You Should Know About This New York Sandwich
Huff PostCourtesy of New York's Chopped Cheese A food truck in Los Angeles serving chopped cheese is just one example of the bodega staple's spread beyond Gotham. It always hit the spot, and you couldn’t beat the value,” said Harlem native Anthony Arias, who owns the food truck New York’s Chopped Cheese in Los Angeles. “You can never beat the classic New York chopped cheese ― seasoned beef, seasoned grilled onions, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mayonnaise, and of course, an AriZona ice tea as the bev!” he added. “A true New York story is a hip-hop sandwich that’s now going mainstream, and we love it.” For Arias, opening a chopped cheese food truck was the solution to a problem. “And that character comes with pride ― pride for your borough, like saying the chopped cheese is better in Harlem or the Bronx, and also just feeling very prideful of the chopped cheese as part of our culture as New Yorkers.” For Williams, that sort of pride compelled him to take ownership over the sandwich’s spread beyond local bodegas.
