The chopped cheese as we know it has existed one way for the last 25 years. But in recent years, the chopped cheese has changed. This is a battle of the classic "OG" chopped cheese invented by Frankie Frank of Hadjii's Deli in Harlem vs the Ocky way invented by Rahim Mohammed of the Red Hook Food Corp in Red Hook Brooklyn. Which would you choose?

  • Thank god. So many chopped cheese recipes online don't actually chop the cheese into the meat. Literally what is the point, its called a "chopped" cheese. The cheese has to be chopped.

    • The beef is supposed to be chopped up and cooked first before u had the cheese because if you put cheese on it too soon your gonna burn the cheese , Then it would be a Burnt Choppy Chop

  • Steve, if you make a slurry of xanthan gum with a neutral oil (any oil so just a cheap one), then mix that into the sauce, it'll dissolve much better. Alex did a video on it ages ago, xanthan gum clumps easily in water (or a water heavy sauce like almost every sauce) but it works much better in oil.

  • Thank you for posting this video! I watched the video with Frankie Frank that you included in this one. It took me about five minutes, but I was able to do a freeze frame showing the first seasoning he used. I’m 99% certain that it’s the Goya adobo seasoning with the blue cap. They make about five others with different color caps that are different from each other. I knew that FF used something else because he had another jar of seasoning, but it was impossible to read the label on it. I’m going to guess that the Goya Sazonadzor Total (which is amazing) is equivalent to the Badia Complete that you used. I’m going to get some of the seasoning in the packet you used. I will hit my next chopped cheese with all three. I really appreciate this video because the chopped cheese I made before with just the Goya adobo blue was disappointing and I felt like I was missing something. You may have explained how to get from “meh” to “magnificent”.

  • I wouldn't have a problem with either but the OG is old school American and has been around since the patty melt (even though it was chopped they called it a patty) or cheddar melts. The OG looks like a Big Bacon Classic from Wendy's minus the Bacon so I would eat that often! The sauce you made was a fancy McDonald's secret sauce for the Big Mac, I like Sriracha instead of Frank's though. I make chopped Cheese Street tacos with that sauce instead of the smash burger version that you see on youtube. It's quick and easy.
