Chopped Cheese Sandwich anyone?
If youâre wondering what a Chopped Cheese sandwich is, donât worry, youâre not alone. Itâs not as mainstream as itâs cousins, the classic cheeseburger, cheesesteak, or sloppy joe. Itâs actually a hybrid of all of these, and weâre here to tell you that itâs delicious.
So, hereâs a little Burger-inspired history lesson for youâŠ
It all started in the big apple – New York. We consider it Schweid & Sonsâ hometown, so itâs no wonder we have an affection for this creation. The chopped cheese originated as an easy lunchtime offering in the corner bodegas that are fixtures around the city. The key to a great chopped cheese sandwich is premium ground beef (like Schweid & Sons CAB Custom Blend Chuck Brisket or CAB Butcherâs Blend) chopped up on a hot flat grill. Add sautĂ©ed onions, and finish off with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and your condiment of choice on a classic âheroâ roll. Our team thinks the key is in toasting the roll and pairing the meat and veggies with mayo, but really thereâs no wrong way to dress it.
Ask any real New Yorker and theyâll tell you the chopped cheese sandwich is truly part of the cityâs culture. Four generations of Schweid & Sons canât be wrong!
