Jeremy Batista is the man behind Bodega Truck, the first bodega food truck in NYC to serve one of the city’s most famous sandwiches: the chopped cheese. With his girlfriend Angela and his former bodega owner mother Sonia, he brings the taste of The Bronx to all five boroughs, and hopefully, the world.

Onions and TONS of garlic and pepper was my go-to when I made these as a kid in southern MO. I'd also cook them longer til the meat started to darken and the cheese crisped. Minced beef, tons of cheddar, smeared onto a bun. Absolute perfection for an afterschool snack.

A "chopped cheese" is just a cheeseburger with a broken beef patty. It's like someone effed up a burger patty on the grill, but still made a burger out of it. It's NOTHING like a philly cheesesteak, lol, the comparison is laughable.

@charliep9066 2 года назад

@@nevg21 LOL Are you ok? A child can make a chopped cheese at home - it literally requires zero technique - like I said - it's a cheeseburger with a broken patty. A good cheesesteak requires high quality meat, a machine to get the thin cut ribbons of meat, and ratios of cheese, toppings, bread, meat have to be done right. The latter requires technique, where the former does not. Why else do you think bodegas make them? They're easy , fast, and cheap to produce. You don't see them making cheesesteaks because it's more expensive and difficult to produce. All about the benjamins.

Chicago can be a lil bit of a bastard when it comes to food, meaning that we do other regions foods WELL, but NO ONE IS MAKING CHOP CHEESE out here. It's a bit sad. We can shake a stick at Philly's Cheesesteaks , and nobody beats our meats (Italian Beef, Hot Dogs, Polish, even Hamburgers are done proper here) but nooooobody making a Chop Cheese, and if they ARE, it's for the rich dummies downtown prolly paying 18.95 for ONE. We gotta do better. Our pizza is already better than NYC (our THIN CRUST will MURDER YOU, i don't even need to bring up the DeepDish cuz that's a whole different beast), but nobody has even blicked off on Chop Cheese.

If you want a door into Japan, try the US Military installations first. Not only do you have an instant audience w/ the US Military and their families at the bases, but you also will see the "local nationals", the Japanese workers, coming in and trying out the food. The only headache you will have is working with AAFES (or NEX) which has to get it's cut of everything that goes on on the base. MWR too, if you go that route, but MWR is not as big of a pain.
