Taking a Whack at New York’s Chopped Cheese

We had a lot of good sandwiches on that trip, but something about that Chopped Cheese sandwich had captured our imagination. It had some kind of alchemical magic about it, a combination of simple ingredients that was greater than the sum of its parts. We tried for months to make our own version at home. We got pretty close. But I think part of the magic of the sandwich is the locality of it, the immediacy of it. To be able to walk into a corner store, order a sandwich, and just a couple minutes and a couple bucks later walk out with a chopped cheese–that’s a magic that isn’t available outside certain parts of New York.
