"The exact story of how the chopped cheese sandwich was invented and prospered in Harlem and the Bronx (and now in Brooklyn) is murky, though some claim the sandwich was invented at Haijji’s by Carlos Soto. Suffice to say, the delightful concoction is a union of ground beef, onions, and lots of American cheese, which melts into the beef to create an entirely new food group. Shall we call it beese? Or cheef?" - Robert Sietsema
