How NYC's CHOPPED CHEESE has Changed

- The chopped cheese as we know it has existed one way for the last 25 years. But in recent years, the chopped cheese has changed. This is a battle of the classic "OG" chopped cheese invented by Frankie Frank of Hadjii's Deli in Harlem vs the Ocky way invented by Rahim Mohammed of the Red Hook Food Corp in Red Hook Brooklyn. Which would you choose?

This should’ve been a 420 special 😂
10000% 🤣
I feel like I am just from watching him make that 😂
Not like stoners would make it. 🤣😂
@@truh_von_tay you’d be surprised. Some of the best cooks I know are always baked. I respect it.
@@truh_von_tay i love cooking baked out of my mind. although I smoke rarely
Steve, if you make a slurry of xanthan gum with a neutral oil (any oil so just a cheap one), then mix that into the sauce, it'll dissolve much better. Alex did a video on it ages ago, xanthan gum clumps easily in water (or a water heavy sauce like almost every sauce) but it works much better in oil.
Thank god. So many chopped cheese recipes online don't actually chop the cheese into the meat. Literally what is the point, its called a "chopped" cheese. The cheese has to be chopped.
thought it was the meat that had to be chopped.
thats because nyc bodegas do not chop the cheese. they chop the burger patty and top it off with cheese.
The beef is supposed to be chopped up and cooked first before u had the cheese because if you put cheese on it too soon your gonna burn the cheese , Then it would be a Burnt Choppy Chop
I was raised on chop cheese. I lived a couple blocks from hajisz for sure it happened before 99. I been eating it since 96/97.
Never had one. I live in Las Vegas lol
I live up in the Heights but did work riding around in a truck all day in 2019. Every now and then wed go stop at hajjis for lunch and get some big ass sandwiches
I would go OG, I don't like messy sandwiches or sandwiches that I have to hunch over and unlock my jaw to eat.
Or food made for a 10 year old. Lmaoooo at 43 I just can’t eat shit like this anymore without suffering 😂. OG with just lettuce tomato
I would try your "Ocky Way" yes - but would always order the OG Chopped Cheese every time - Nice job
Blossom end!! Another awesome video! Thank you!!
Love your content 😊😊😊
I've never had a chopped cheese before, so I would have to try it both ways! When trying your Ocky Way, though, I would ask for pickled jalapeños chopped into the meat and please add a little adobo juice to your sauce--YUM!
Thank you for posting this video! I watched the video with Frankie Frank that you included in this one. It took me about five minutes, but I was able to do a freeze frame showing the first seasoning he used. I’m 99% certain that it’s the Goya adobo seasoning with the blue cap. They make about five others with different color caps that are different from each other. I knew that FF used something else because he had another jar of seasoning, but it was impossible to read the label on it. I’m going to guess that the Goya Sazonadzor Total (which is amazing) is equivalent to the Badia Complete that you used. I’m going to get some of the seasoning in the packet you used. I will hit my next chopped cheese with all three. I really appreciate this video because the chopped cheese I made before with just the Goya adobo blue was disappointing and I felt like I was missing something. You may have explained how to get from “meh” to “magnificent”.
This channel is rather fantastic!
"There are no real rules..."
Me: Could I get that without onions?
Griller: Sir, please leave the state.
I can't wait to get back to NYC and get myself a chopped cheese! As always great content man
OG all day only had a chopped cheese once at a random bodega but it was amazing
I love you, I do, so fucking smart and you know your shit. We're blessed to have you making us smarter. You made me a better cook. A better man. I appreciate you. I thank you with all my heart.
Another masterpiece from my favorite TH-cam Chef.
Your Ockham way looks delish! I would go with the OG way, though. I would struggle to get my little mouth around that. LOL. Love your channel. You’re my new addiction!
OMG he's great I am starving for his last sandwich he made thanks for recipe. You are so talented and lovable. I'm 90 and going to ask my daughter to try and copy. That seasoning sauce looks yummy. God Bless
Is anyone else spazzing on the the fact that he hit a nice-ass lateral cut on the mozz stick?
@5:41 - "It's nice.." actually lol'd.😆
When building I'd switch the order of the lettuce & the tomatoes
i dunno bro the chop cheese for me was discovered in E Tremont in the Bronx and everytime I put other people on in New York, no one knew it existed before.
Facts, but us real ones can’t fight the media.
@@redeb21 💯
Im glad the abobo, completa, and sazón inspired you to make a creation. Those 3 are the main things that make our beef stew different than normal (among other things) Check box they have different kinds. Con azafrán had a yellow base, con culantro and achiote have a red and cilantro base etc. now go make a carne guisado brother 💪🏽
Hard top pick
Both look awesome 👌
Any recipe that calls for mustard, switch out your plain old yellow for a stuff called Herlockers Dipping Mustard. It adds a whole new layer of flavor.
I would have to try them both.❤
I've wanted to try an authentic NYC bodega chopped cheese - but never quite sure where to go around midtown. Any suggestions? And I think I might take the Ahka way to Buffalo and mimic their Stinger Sub - chopped cheese w/ buffalo chicken fingers on top. Man. Now I'm hungry.
Maybe you can unravel the mystery of the New York mozzarepa for us next. I saw it in little Italy when on vacation but was too full to try it. I have yet to find a recipe online that looks anything like the street vender.
I use an equal mix of mayo, mustard, ketchup, and sweet pickle relish for my spread on the rolls. Amazing sandwich and much better than any hamburger.
Sweet relish 🤮
Both look great! Never had one but I am thinking ground lamb, feta, onion, garlic, oregano, lemon.....help me!
I have been putting off seasoning my new cast iron for months. Definitely gonna do it to make this. Looks insane.
I can't wait to make my own version of this. Great Idea Steve!! You must wrap it up!! It's a must!
Woah. Watching a video about a New York sandwich, and this dude pulls out the cheddar cheese made in my West Coast area! Tillamook is a Local Staple here in Oregon.
That's probably one of the craziest and most delicious looking sandwiches I've ever seen. I am inspired.
The ocky way seems inspired by "fat" sandwiches popular in NJ, especially college towns.
I love Rahim's attitude and culinary balls! I want to go to NYC just to experience his shit.
why 720p?
We cannot say this is good for the heart, but dang does it look good for the soul
I don’t know the science behind it but iceberg lettuce levels way up when shredded.
I need thiss 😭
bro. Bro. The french fries and the mozzarella sticks at the end. BRO.
id go classic but mozz sticks sounds like a banger addition.
Definitely want the Ocky Way. Looks amazing
YOU FORGOT THE BEV!!! 😂😂😂
I gotta try both tbh. but then again I watched this while I'm hungry....
Steve, thank you thank you thank you for pronouncing homogeneous correctly. I love it. Oh and the sandwich is money$$$
Love this but… do the orange Goya sazón packet with adobo how the bodegas do it, you’ll love it my brother. You the man though.
🔥🔥I like your version!
Now I know how to make a classic NY style chopped cheese! YES!
I wouldn't have a problem with either but the OG is old school American and has been around since the patty melt (even though it was chopped they called it a patty) or cheddar melts. The OG looks like a Big Bacon Classic from Wendy's minus the Bacon so I would eat that often! The sauce you made was a fancy McDonald's secret sauce for the Big Mac, I like Sriracha instead of Frank's though. I make chopped Cheese Street tacos with that sauce instead of the smash burger version that you see on youtube. It's quick and easy.
Grew up eating bodega steak sandwiches (which is how I know them) they are so freaking good
That french fry brand has great tots also, they seem to be bigger than other brands also.
Gettin both bro ❤🫡
BOTH WAYS!
Tillamook is great; I grew up on it. If you get a chance to try Face Rock Creamery, I have been really happy with that, too.
OMG finally chopped cheese!!!! yesssss
Probably OG, though if you cut out the fries and the mozz out I would go with yours. I think the sauce would be perfect and the peppers in the chop would work great. Keeps the sandwich easy to bite into.
I like your version a lot. I'm a sandwich guy, and this looks like one of mine. I'm getting hungry. 😁
Also garlic butter is a goat move.
OG all day 😎
its not too salty with all this seasoning?
The OG!!
OG for me ❤
Very similar to a maid rite in midwest
Oh, man, I'm with you on dill relish vs sweet. Dill, every time.
The Ocky Way is more of a lunch/dessert combo more than anything. The OG chopped cheese will not be dethroned.
As a local 914 resident you are such a weschester dude and I respect it.
That is NOT the Ocky Way!! He uses Spinach not Lettuce and he puts Fresh slices of Halal Beef or Turkey Bacon.
Throwing moz sticks and fries into that starts to give New Brunswick Grease Trucks vibes
Classic cheeseburger 🍔, please comeback!
720P?
I'm INCREDIBLY surprised you didnt slap 2 cutlets into this, i coulda swore i was gonna see chicken cutlets lolol
Love it anyway!! Top tier content ❤
Classic for me, dude, all the way. I'll take the fries & cheese sticks on the side, though. Ixnay on the cool ranch doritos. Apparently the chopped cheese has its distant roots in Syria or Yemen, where there is a similar sandwich called "dagha yamneeya".
Akhi, pronounced aji, the j being the Spanish jota. That’s how “kh” is pronounced in Arabic.
Good video, like always.
"Hey, look, a shark! Let's jump it!"
Gentlemen, we are witnessing the evolution of food made manifest.
What about the Bev?
why is this 720P
Both look good AF and the OG is definitely fire but Steve's Occy way is most definitely for the "Big Back" or the 420 community no doubt!!!
Oh yeah baby!!
Yes to your way and hot sauce!
Steve!! Who's the original guy at Hajji deli he must be Yemeni not someone named Frank. Because Hajji means someone who performed pilgrimage in Arabic. I also read that chopped cheese was based on a Yemeni dish called Yemini Dugga which is chopped meat and veggies. We need the historical side. Find it for us.
I've said it before I'll say it again. The chopped cheese is the bastard offspring of a burger and a cheesesteak
and it is sooooo good. especially after a night of drinking. perfect post alcohol food.
dawg that shit looks fire
Okay I can see me ordering the Okiy Version and at the same time I can see myself being rushed to the hospital??? Maybe have the options but not all of them at once.
That seasoning mix needs some Za'atar
I like ehat you're doin', but it has too much going on, IMO. I could go for 1 of the 3. Maybe some jalapeno kettle chips. Fried mozzarella is always good. I would probably go with shredded hash browns over fries to keep with the consistency.
Yes, dill relish only.
I tend to go for the OG, but I'd give the Ocky way a try
Just want to say - Ive been watching you for a while and I had no idea your name was Steve. lol
I complained to Eric that near Denver, Colorado there are none of his products!
I never cut the aluminum and the sandwich any more I would fine little shavings in the food
Bodega seasoning?
When you pronounce Sazón, the z is supposed to sound like an s while the o remains strong. Look it up….just saying. I really like your videos by the way, very informative. 🤝
The classic is the way to go for me...
OG
Saizon is my secret ingredient for tuna salad
I’d order both.
I thought you had a cutlet in there from the thumbnail
There's something to be said for tradition
Thumbnail with the “ocky way” … got me messed up! Now I gotta cook this for the kids.
nice and healthy with the tomato and lettuce
