This Underrated NYC Sandwich Beats Every Cheesesteak

Every one of my recipes is at https://www.BillyParisi.com

My chopped cheese recipe brings NYC street food right to your griddle. I loaded juicy, seasoned beef, sweet caramelized onions, and melted American cheese into a toasted roll with fresh tomatoes and lettuce. It’s everything you expect from the iconic bodega-style sandwich and more.

  1. Looks like an easy and very delicious sandwich! Definitely trying! I have everything here at home already so I’m going to go for it. Thanks Chef for the awesome lunch idea!

  2. Not sure about better than bodegas. I’m not sure if you experience this before but food is not just flavor, it’s a big percentage but a lot of times it’s the connection to the people that made it. The bodega fam back in Brooklyn know my name. Momo even knows my birthday. It’s the connection that they make with you that make that simple sandwich that makes it amazing.
