The Over-The-Top NYC Chop Cheese

By Jerome Foster

Chop cheese is the greatest sandwich ever! I remember when I got my first chop cheese. It had a crispy bun, it was fresh and still hot when I took the foil off the beautiful sandwich. It was still steaming. The steam was like an angel floating. I took a bite. It was like biting into a cloud. When my mom saw it, she took half of my chop cheese! It was the most special experience I ever had! The chop cheese is from God. It’s a blessing. Every time I get the sight of a chop cheese I start to drool, my mouth starts to water and my stomach starts to grumble. My eyes started to light up. It was like going up in a cloud, just melting. One reason why a chop cheese is so special is because it’s the best dish to represent NYC. Let me explain: NYC has a lot of different dishes that can hold that title, but a chop cheese is the god of NYC. People that are in NYC get it all the time. The sandwich is like the mascot of NYC. It comes with peppers, bacon, cheese, beef, mayo, lettuce, and a nice crispy bun. The bun can be different things like a bagel, a hero, and much more. This shows that a chop cheese is the best dish because it represents my city. Chop cheese is like my best friend, or I’m always thinking about it. I remember I told my dad I was hungry and I said, “Can I get a chop cheese?” so he went to my deli and got me a fresh and hot chop cheese. I eat chop cheese so much, my mom knows how to make it now. One reason why chop cheese is so special is because you can make it anywhere. You can make chop cheese homemade; you don’t always have to go to the deli. When you make it at home, it can taste better because you have the nice home seasoning—and my mom is from Trinidad—so

she adds a little flavor to it. She adds this pepper sauce that makes it so much better than the deli. This shows that you don’t always have to get your chop cheese from the deli. When I think about chop cheese, my taste buds just melt off my tongue. It’s not just my stomach that celebrates this glorious dish, but also my heart. This food just makes me want to pass out. So next time you feel like treating your taste buds, you should try chop cheese; you won’t regret it. The next time you’re hungry, get a chop cheese at your local deli.
