Pooping on your head :umad:
I honestly think *some* NYC corner stores use the same meat for both
They certainly taste the same when getting it from Ock.Now that I think about it Philly steak from Charley's grilled subs does use different meat than the Ock Philly cheesesteak

I know I never heard a single NYC record reference a chopped cheese in the 90s so it must be fairly new in the past 20 years.
I know that part for sure. Its defenitly some new shyt thats why I'm inquiring.
Go to any bodega and see the house cat sleeping on the bread

I think they unbanned me shortly after. I thought it was a permanent ban

OI been in NYC my whole life and I never heard of it until the yuppies moved into Brooklyn/NYC around 2009 - 2014
No New Yorker that I know would willingly walk into a deli and order a sandwich with red meat -dame-
Not knowing how long that m'fukka been in that refrigerator.
Cac alert
Nah, chopped cheese started in Harlem. I believe it was Haji's bodega on 1st avenue who made it first. It was just a cheap sandwich they served. My little cousins used to get them a lot because they were like $4.50. All the bodegas started making them but it was mainly a Harlem thing that spread to the bodegas in other boroughs.
There was some cac who did a feature about chopped cheese on YouTube and it went viral. That's when it became a "New York staple" when that wasn't the case. It was no different than getting 4 wings and fried rice or two slices of pizza. It sold because it was affordable for people in the hood not because it was the NY cheesesteak. It was never meant to be a big deal.

Tf having "business in bodegas" mean. I'm telling you as a resident of NYC my entire life we were getting chop cheeses when I was in highschool 15 years ago.
N u repping BK right? 15 years ago is when it started is what u saying?
Having business in Bodegas means that I WAS IN THEM.
This is some BRAND NEW shyt. I'm asking for the history. Just provide it or KIM.
So Chopped cheese wasn't a thing until 15 years ago in BK. Got it.
