Visited New York, asked a local where the best place to get a quick bite to eat. He pointed to the Bodega down the street; said chopped cheese. It was the best breakfast I had that entire trip.
I lived on 10th and B for 3 years all through covid. Sunny and Annie’s never closed and they make INCREDIBLE sandwiches. Such a nice family too, support them if passing by and don’t forget to tip your sandwich guy.
People don’t want to pay 18 for an extremely unhealthy sandwich that “ could feed three people”. They want to pay a reasonable price for one sandwich for one person.
It's marked up because the store is viral. In other words, he charges that much because he can. If the Ock (who has 2 bodegas to run) charged regular priced, he'd be spending all day making those sandwiches.
As a New Yorker, bodegas are not just a staple in NYC, but the metro area as well. I lived in Jersey City for a few years before moving back to NY, and there are plenty of bodegas there as well in The Heights. What makes bodegas special are the charm and the affordability (typically) for the average person living in some of the most expensive areas anywhere. And it's a true bodega if there's a cat around.
Bodegas are in hoods all over the north east … but You will always have some vice type of channel or some outsider type of thing calling it a New York thing
I wish I had a corner store with Ock! This guy just puts a smile on my face. He seems to enjoy making his customers smile and you can tell he has a bomb personality.
@@electroshot8872 for like 5 dollars worth of food? Get outta town my brother. 10 dollars pushing it. Can get the same thing in the local city for less
@@FlannelDad I agree with what you’re saying. Problem is that Mr. "Ocky" has the ability to make the prices so high, which is a coarse exploitation to his many customers
My dad who is originally from Brooklyn has even told me that the two most popular NY sandwiches are a baconeggandcheese on a roll (apparently us NYers consider it as one word) and a chopped cheese. I’ve personally never had a chopped cheese before, but I’m definitely gonna try it soon.
It’s trendy because of social media. And the people on social media believe these places are “the best”. They are not the best whatsoever. Many places in the boroughs for deli sandwiches that blow these places away. They are kept secrets that have avoided the social media train.
Ocky knows bc of Tiktok he is getting more customers so he played it smart and started charging all these people more, knowing he can do it because of his reputation. Good for him.
The only thing im left speechless about is how he just served them two honebuns with some bacon egg and cheese in the middle and slapped an 18$ price tag on that.
Mine used to be called Fishies. I lived in northern New Jersey. As a child walking to school I would take a quarter and give it to the lady and she would put bologna on a Kaiser roll and wrap it up for me. I ate that thing every day it was so incredibly good
I tried the BE&C this exact same way the ocky way and guys, it's worth the money. Even when cut in half these things are HUGE! I'm a big guy with a big appetite and I was full when I was done with my half. So say my half was $9, typical bacon egg and cheese is anywhere from 3 to 5 bucks depending where you go, if you get a side of mozzarella sticks that costs another 4-5 bucks, and this guy puts enough bacon for 3 or 4 sandwiches you get anywhere else. If you go there go there with a friend and split it, totally worth it. Ocky is magic!
NYC definitely isn't a perfect city (their subway has seen better days, while ours has chandeliers), but I'll give it to them that their bodegas are culturally significant. NYC isn't NYC without its bodegas. And we thank NYC to continuing to provide the Internet with its weirdness. Hoping to one day make it over there to do a UN speech. I just hope what happened to Admiral General Aladeen doesn't happen to me.
Sandwiches are just the perfect food. You can get so much distinctive flavor (as shown by this video) all in a handheld meal you can eat on the go. If I could eat one for every meal I certainly would
@@westie430 Naaa for a bodega thats STUPID expensive. Granted it is a realllllly famous place now and youre getting a custom order and it seems like he puts a fuck ton more eggs and bacon than normal but most NYers pay like $6 on average for a typical bacon egg and cheese.

Holy crap! This might be the one video I’ve been the most hyped for you making because I never thought it’d come :O We’re here with Jon talkin about the Chopped Cheese! Dreams really do come true.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I remember going through Puerto Rican neighborhoods where bodegas were exclusively a PR grocery/deli/restaurant store. Now any deli calls itself a bodega.
This is awesome! We all lived on Bodega food when growing up in NYC!! Bacon egg and cheese sandwich in the morning and an Arizona Iced Tea with Strawberry shortcake for lunch. All under $5.

@@DonCaban252 Thanks, I'm really thinking about it. You know how it is around here. Everyone in a while you will find a nice hole in the wall place with good food but for the most part it's the same old fast food restaurants.
I don't eat bacon and eggs but I enjoyed video. The little mom and pop places are great - it what keeps a neighborhood interesting. Big thumbs up I think you will hit 300K subs before the end of the month. Plus it's great you share other links and hosts. You both benefit more exposure to an audience with the algorithm. I'm on a long bus ride back home to NYC so I'm just going watch a marathon of your videos.
Cozy Corner on Grand OMG the sandwiches are so good, every time y'all are having sandwiches you're holding them up in the air, waving them around, showing them to the camera, I'm thinking "Oh no all the stuff's gonna fall out of their sandwich" but it hasn't happened yet not that I've seen anyway LOL
Hi Jon, OMG those sandwiches are enormous and looks delicious. My BP will probably shoot up if I finish one of those. Jon say hi to Adriana for me and congratulations on the newborn.
Reminds me of the sandwiches from the "Grease Trucks" back the day at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. Looks like their loaded sandwiches have evolved into what you guys had the great opportunity to try in the Big Apple. Great video! De Elaine la profe de NJ

Oh Jon, you’re killing me man! I’d scoff them all but I’d have the chopped cheese first! Time to dust off the passport and head over to NYC again from Bonnie Scotland! Keep on doing what you do! Epic!❤👍👏👏👏😊
New York, Glad i'm 1500 miles from that whirlpool jackpot. Thanks, I know how to cook and if I didn't ..it would be a cold day in hell before I trust anyone from there to feed me. Go out to Montauk, then keep going East about 500 miles then stop completely.
NYC has always laid claim to the chop cheese sandwich. But, my dad said he was ordering them from steak sandwich shops in the very early 70's in Buffalo, NY. We call them chop burger. Don't know where they started for sure. But thank God they did. Lol
I was in NYC three years ago (I am from London) and i fancied a melted cheese sandwich, so I walked into a bodega and got one for $2. I wish we had bodegas in the UK! However I would add that the sandwiches in this video would probably be too 'rich' in taste for many Britons!

Do it bro! New Bern NC here!
@@DonCaban252 Thanks, I'm really thinking about it. You know how it is around here. Everyone in a while you will find a nice hole in the wall place with good food but for the most part it's the same old fast food restaurants.
@@airplanelife9839 Thank you.
I don't eat bacon and eggs but I enjoyed video. The little mom and pop places are great - it what keeps a neighborhood interesting. Big thumbs up I think you will hit 300K subs before the end of the month.
Plus it's great you share other links and hosts. You both benefit more exposure to an audience with the algorithm.
I'm on a long bus ride back home to NYC so I'm just going watch a marathon of your videos.
You can still eat bacon and eggs in spirit. It doesn’t have to be physical
Bacon egg & cheese, Arizona and a bag of chips is the high-school breakfast of champions.
💯
i love how Ock always breaks the sound barrier when he opens his mouth
Here Be Barr Way
😂😂😂
Cozy Corner on Grand OMG the sandwiches are so good, every time y'all are having sandwiches you're holding them up in the air, waving them around, showing them to the camera, I'm thinking "Oh no all the stuff's gonna fall out of their sandwich" but it hasn't happened yet not that I've seen anyway LOL
Hi Jon, OMG those sandwiches are enormous and looks delicious. My BP will probably shoot up if I finish one of those. Jon say hi to Adriana for me and congratulations on the newborn.
Thanks Dadcation!
The general’s “your welcome” makes my day
I like how Greg flirts with the camera
Reminds me of the sandwiches from the "Grease Trucks" back the day at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. Looks like their loaded sandwiches have evolved into what you guys had the great opportunity to try in the Big Apple. Great video! De Elaine la profe de NJ
I went to Rutgers and I agree
As did I, but way before you.
Bodagas and Delis are the life blood of New York. You can go from one neighborhood to another and get any kind of 🥝 good you want
I thought the grease trucks were way overrated honestly. I'd rather drive to NYC and get halal guys than drive to rutgers and get fat sandwhiches.
Have you already done a vegetarian/vegan eats guide to NYC? If not I’d love to see this!
There’s a bunch over here
That's boring we want the meat
ThankS Young Ones for livinG Dangerously and tryinG all of these Yummylicious Sammies to giVe uS ideas what we can also create at home!👍Your collaboration worked so damn well...that I think that you two should do more eXcitinG adventures with your awesome cameraman...especially for uS who aRe homebound often becauSe of health challenges!👍Shine On and haVe lotttttS of fuuuun!✌😍🙏😇🌹🌞🌹🌯🥙🌯🌹☕🍵☕
It's all about the genuine NY kaiser roll. Even just with butter, it's the best there is.
"Here you go, my brother". Gotta love that!
Oh Jon, you’re killing me man!
I’d scoff them all but I’d have the chopped cheese first!
Time to dust off the passport and head over to NYC again from Bonnie Scotland! Keep on doing what you do! Epic!❤👍👏👏👏😊
Video with guests Pitbull and French Montana 🤣
Hahha
The best feature of this food: you ate enough calories for a week in just one go 😅
😁😁
New York, Glad i'm 1500 miles from that whirlpool jackpot. Thanks, I know how to cook and if I didn't ..it would be a cold day in hell before I trust anyone from there to feed me.
Go out to Montauk, then keep going East about 500 miles then stop completely.
I’ve watched 100s of Ocky’s videos and I’ve never heard “neva neva neva!” said “never never never!” I’m crying 😭 😂
NYC has always laid claim to the chop cheese sandwich. But, my dad said he was ordering them from steak sandwich shops in the very early 70's in Buffalo, NY. We call them chop burger. Don't know where they started for sure. But thank God they did. Lol
Still NY 😂. But supposedly its a form of middle eastern sandwich. Hence why the movement started in Delis.
I was in NYC three years ago (I am from London) and i fancied a melted cheese sandwich, so I walked into a bodega and got one for $2. I wish we had bodegas in the UK! However I would add that the sandwiches in this video would probably be too 'rich' in taste for many Britons!
We don't care for Brits
Come on what u call those full English breakfast- and what’s with the baked beans
@@bartschwartz9233 we call those full English breakfasts, 'Full English Breakfasts'.
@@monstahz lmao
Icing and honey on the bread mixed with bacon egg and cheese is an extreme sweet and savoury combination to say the least
Bacon, egg, and cheese with a can of cold Arizona, it's the NY Bodega way! We love it!
This channel content is so good that I don't even care how much I don't like how this guy talks
