      Cadet Bone Spurs Um the ingredients they usually use in any deli or bodega for sandwiches is not good quality. I've been living in NYC my whole life. You don't go to them for a $10 sandwich. The white bread they use are refined carbohydrates and have almost no nutritional value. The cheese is high in cholesterol, sodium, and bad fat. The beef is probably not that great either, but probably the best thing for you out of those three. There's a reason why these sandwiches at most cost $6 and even that's a lot.

      Macs2015 My two friends that are a couple were born and raised here since the 80s. They knew what a chopped cheese was and told me about it like 3 or so years ago. What they have in common with this video is that they're both from the Harlem, Inwood area so maybe it's local to that part of Manhattan?

I don't want to hype it up but honestly it was the best sandwich iv'e ever had in my life. It tastes even better than you can imagine! the bread is the real winner, the way they toast it on that press and the crunch all the way to the last bite. I am legit salivating thinking about it!!!

      My man they New Yorkers they still don’t understand that not everything’s that’s there’s is all that exists. This is just a worse version of a Philly Cheesesteak, they pizza is just a worse version of Chicago Deepdish, I hear they bagels is worse than Montreal’s, and none of them understand that the South got better fuckin’ food then all of them... well, besides the piz- nah we got Mellow Mushroom and Brixx; I take it back the South food superior, we got soul.
