LMBAOOOOO
I'm thinking the thing is complicated, I have all of those ingredients on hand right now.
Except I got french bread.
yep real simple -just remember to toast the bread I smear a little butter on one side
also ime fresher bread = better sandwich
also I like to chop then fry peppers n onions and use garlic mayo

So this is one of those after-the-club, drunk meals or a quick bite for people who work late?
any hero is a meal - anytime
after the club drunk meals in nyc are anything from halal to diner to sidewalk jerk chicken etc
It started out as a growing kid sandwich back in early 90s maybe late 80s. You went from getting a reg cheeseburger. Then your appetite increased. Bright idea was created to use hero bread and chop up the burger. Chop cheese was created. It was a nice cheap meal. You actually supposed to eat it with a bag of chips on the side( the real ogs know this).. you take a bite of the sandwich than eat a potatoe chip( Doritos preferably, some ate it with lays, some ate it with onion garlic chips, etc).. this was 30+ yrs ago.. now it’s popularized and many people sell it everywhere but still not the same from the original spot at the og hajis in Spanish Harlem.. also in the 90s this was the ultimate cheap date sandwich.. think of Dave chapelle half bake cheap date segment.. that segment spoke to nigs soul when it came on cause that’s how we really were and hajis was one of those spots/hidden gems
I can't stand NY philly cheesesteaks that cheesewhiz crap is for bums, melt that fucking provolone or pepper jack cheese on mine and who the fuck using ground beef for.......................fuck it nevermind not in florida!
I followed Hajji's recipe, two burger patties, cooked them down with onions and added slices of cheese and creole seasoning (Hajji didn't mention exactly what seasoning he was using.), and put on lightly toasted and somewhat hallowed out French bread with lettuce and tomato. I definitely enjoyed it, if I were a New Yorker, it would definitely be something I would check for.
We always have French bread lying around and this gives us something else to put on it. I'm gonna try to find some adobo or mix my own blend and see how that tastes as well as getting some chips to go along with as @tallblacknyc suggested.

There was a thread going on. when I was really arguing with cars about chopped cheese. It's one of my favorite cheap sandwiches, plenty of places to get them now in NYC. Blue sky claims to be the original and they lot of Yorkers live them, I fuck with Ock though, Red Hook is my go to !!@
I likes the education you bros are getting around here...jump in that high blood pressure thread when you get a chance
If you can't say amen, say ouch.
I'm the nigga that's supposed to be built like Allen Iverson but I weigh like I'm Frank Gore, so let me get in that thread as soon as my vision stops being blurry.
Man I love dem shits and cheesesteaks but only 3 or 4 times a year for me...trying to live forever
Cooper Sharp is the go to now
If that's what you're craving after the club, yeah, there's always a deli open late/24 hours.
Some people eat chopped cheeses daily but that's not the only thing they serve. They have great sandwiches in general and some have hot food plates by the pound.
SURRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!@
Harlem, I am not a new Yorker but when I used to visit my aunt in NY, we would go to Blue Sky, that Is what @Duece was talking about when he said he use hajii recipe.
Nope because delis were mostly run by papi back then having a grill was rare. Ahk is more entrepreneurial and expanded the food selection.
I am not a native New Yorker, but during my childhood I use to spend 1 or 2 weekends every month in Hempstead. We use to go to this spot near my aunt's house and get cheeseburger hoagies. Fast forward to maybe about 5 years ago, I started hearing everybody talk about chopped cheese. When I finally tried one, I was like, "Oh, this is the cheeseburger hoagie from back in the day. Farmer In the Deli (BK) does a chopped turkey if you're into the chopped sandwiches like that, but I usually do the straight turkey or the turkey pastrami if I happen to be in Brooklyn.

Thanks for the info, I just never heard anyone speak about them and was curious.
Not gonna lie, never heard of Cheez Wiz being used on anything. Where in NYC is this?
At least 30 years. Yeah.
Usually it is 1 big burger pattie not two.
Now see, depending on the borough you would do remixes.
Add bacon, mushrooms, green peppers different cheeses, BBQ sauce, mayo, mustard, oil vinegar, hot sauce.
It all depends.
Where I am from they would make a pizza style too.
Chopped cheese is a gatdayam glorified sloppy joe. With less sauce and more cheese..
I used to fuck with it..but then I started to care about my arteries and over all health
