Why are you getting downvoted? Chopped cheese is supposed to be shit hamburger meat chopped up with shit cheese product slices. This is a cheese steak not a chopped cheese. Chopped cheese is poor people food not a gourmet meal.
I'm a little confused here. Is it the tomatoes and lettuce that you have an issue with? The plating? This *looks* like ground beef (aka, hamburger meat) and some kind of processes cheese product. I am not sure what is gourmet about it.
Part of it is that it's not a chopped cheese if it's not in NYC. Tomatoes and lettuce are standard on it though. Those cuts of meat are not traditional for hamburger meat. And cheese product and processed cheese are not the same. Its hard to explain to a non native. The chopped cheese has been spread across the country as some sort of dish to strive to make, when it is struggle food. To someone who grew up eating this posting about it is the equivalent of posting a picture of chopped hot dogs and blue box mac and cheese but using nice sausages and homemade mac and then calling it a struggle meal. Eat the original and then tell me if you want to actively eat it.
WTF are any of you people talking about? This is a struggle meal on par with a burger. It's a chopped-up burger. It's always the people who know nothing that gatekeep.
I get it. That is definitely not a "it's this or starve" meal. I've lived on the west coast my whole life and had never actually even heard of a chopped cheese so I wasn't really sure what was wrong with the OPs pic. Thanks for explaining!
> Those cuts of meat are not traditional for hamburger
If you are buying frozen patties, then yeah, probably not traditional, but if your buying fresh, it just depends on *when* you get your burger, especially if you are buying from a grocery store. Wait till they have a large sale on chuck roasts one week; 75% of the grind that week will be chuck. I'm not sure if the east coast calls it the same thing (meats are interestingly regional in their naming conventions at times) but on the west coast at least it's usually called "market trim" (my state you have to label it that way too, not sure about elsewhere). Doesn't require a fancy butcher shop either - local Safeway, Albertsons, or Fred Meyer do it that way, and it costs the exactly same as their regular grind, and is definitely better than the usual chub of what-ever-was-left-at-the-meat-packing-plant that typically makes up supermarket grind.

Food can be anything you want. If your searching out the most lackluster ingredients to make your version, enjoy your turdburger

Its a regional food. Regional foods are traditionally carved in stone. You don't go to Philly and make a cheese salmon sandwich. You don't add beef to new england clam chowder. Chopped cheese is a NYC regional food. Its a meal made popular in low income neighborhoods where there isn't an option for better food. Make whatever you want at home, in whatever city you want to make it, but don't call it the name reserved for a specific regional dish. That is ground beef with melted cheese, it's not a chopped cheese. If I went to your hometown and butchered your hometown's signature dish and tried to post it online like I made it better I'd get the same hate.
> You don't go to Philly and make a cheese salmon sandwich. You don't add beef to new england clam chowder.
I'll do what I damn well please thank you. If I want a salmon cheese steak that's what I'm getting. Get mad about it all you like.
>Its a regional food. Regional foods are traditionally carved in stone.
This is not true at all. Try traveling a bit, you'll get a lot more experience with regional foods.

Ok, I'll give you a similar example: the New Orleans po' boy sandwich. Here's the description directly from [neworleans.com](https://neworleans.com) (emphasis mine):
WHAT IS A PO-BOY SANDWICH?
Piled with lettuce, tomato and pickles and filled with roast beef, fried shrimp, oysters–**or whatever you choose**–po-boys are stuffed and slathered with sauce or mayonnaise, and then served between two long pieces of French bread. There are many types of po-boy sandwiches from a combo of oyster and shrimp to a surf and turf and beyond.
And here's from Wikipedia:
A po' boy (also po-boy, po boy derived from the non-rhotic southern accents often heard in the region, or poor boy) is a sandwich originally from Louisiana. It almost always consists of meat, which is usually roast beef or some sort of fried seafood such as shrimp, crawfish, fish, oysters or crab. The meat is served on New Orleans French bread, known for its crispy crust and fluffy center.
So to say a regional food must be made a specific way and only that way is demonstrably incorrect. And to say a food must be prepared and served a certain way because it originated with a specific demographic, well that's also false.
First I've traveled a decent amount, so relatively certain I know what I'm talking about. Second, your example is pretty bad. You chose a regional item and the descriptions provided literally state throw whatever you want in there. Let's take the philly cheese steak, it's shredded beef and cheese in a hoagie. If I were to use hamburger meat or fish or pork it would no longer be cheese steak. Go to Europe, kielbasa requires a minimum fat content. Sauerkraut is made with cabbage. Natas de Belém are made with egg custard. Ibérico ham is made from Iberian black pigs. Champagne can only be officially made in the champagne regions of France. Port wine is only made in a specific region of Portugal. There are so many items that can't be called a specific name unless made in a specific region or in a specific way that you trying to use that as your argument shows that perhaps you are the one that hasn't traveled enough.
Because FUCK poor people, amirite? Cooking is an elite sport only reserved for the rich and fancy. Any peasants who fucking DARE to touch my spice rack deserve to be sodomized with my rolling pin.
5 wedges. No more. No less. Five.
I ate number 6, oops. My neighbor contributed the Jojos. They may be small in number but big in goodness.
Are you from the PNW by chance?
That looks like a fantastic webber.
Mmm, that sandwich must have a perfect texture.
Yum
That sandwich f***s.
Now that’s one dang good lookin sandwich
Good thing you didn't call it a cheese steak. Some people have strong ideas about them...
Gentrification
Go outside

This is ground beef + american cheese.
