New York's Chopped Cheese (Hollywood)

The Iconic NYC Chopped Cheese Expands to L.A. and Beyond

"A Los Angeles-based food truck run by Anthony Arias that aims to recreate the classic Harlem chopped-cheese exactly as he remembers it: beef, onions and spices fried and chopped on the griddle, topped with melted American cheese, lettuce and tomato, tucked into a hero roll and wrapped in paper. Presented as working-class comfort food tied to family memories (Arias recalls it costing about five dollars with a soda), the operation stresses authenticity over “elevation.” Plans include expanding to multiple trucks and opening a Hollywood spot with a bodega-front, bar-back layout." - Jason Diamond
