Chop Cheese · Brooklyn
The chop cheese is the bodega-born Brooklyn sandwich every borough now copies — chopped beef and onions griddled together with melted American cheese, ketchup, and mayo on a fresh hero. At Red Store Deli we chop it to order on Powell Street, the way it is meant to be.
A real chop cheese is built on the flat-top: ground beef and onions chopped together as they cook, American cheese melted right in, then scooped onto a split hero with lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayo. We make ours fresh every time — no pre-cooked patties, no shortcuts.
The chop cheese was born in Harlem and raised on Brooklyn corners — it is the neighborhood answer to the cheesesteak. Pair it with fries or buffalo wings, and you have the most-repeated order out of our Brownsville counter.
